Sometimes questions like this pop-up on my mind. When the questions like this come up: I either think about it for a while and forget it or never think of it. This question is on my mind for past couple of days and so, I thought I will write on it.
Honestly, I dont have any role models (which I know is very bad). But however, I get inspirtation from many and here are a few
Bill Gates
Steve Jobs
Paul Graham
Joel Spolsky
Jeff Atwood
Martin Fowler
Craig Larman
Robert C. Martin
Scott W Ambler
Ravi Mohan
Rajesh Babu
Charles Petzold
Jean-Paul S. Boodhoo
Narayana Murthy
Dr. Ashok Jhunjhunwala
etc.,
All the above are clear winners / achievers in their fields. When I get to read about them through blogs, magazines etc; I would be inspiried, but this inspiration is short lived. For the inspiration to be long lived, I think I should have a role model; who is a guru/expert in the field I am into and look at his/her achivements and try to achive them. The biggest problem here is to choose the right role model. I will update once I have one.
So, who is your role model?
