Be the role model
Stop looking to others to be a role model; BE the role model. You don’t have to be an elected official or a sports star or a terrific actor/actress to know how to behave. You can show those around you that nice guys don’t always finish last and that having the most of anything doesn’t automatically make you the best person. Stand up to bullies, speak truth to power, be true to yourself, and be nice – that is all that it takes.
