Somebody or Somebody’s Fool: Mr. T the Role Model
Mr. T may seem like a funny choice for a role model, but you can learn a lot from Mr. T. 1. You should be comfortable in your own skin. You don’t need to conform to the world to find contentment. Interacting in your world by being real and welcoming others who are different than you promotes unity. Your hair can be long or in a mohawk; it can be pink or green or brown. You can wear chains and bling and still have a soft heart.2. Say what you mean and be real. Don’t fake it because that gets you nowhere.People don’t say what they mean anymore. They may think it, but instead of just spitting it out, they try their best to diplomatically agree. I’m not saying that we should be judgmental. Judging someone is unacceptable, but I am saying that Mr. T is a great role model to encourage you to say what’s on your mind. He never held back when he thought that something was crazy.Because things are crazy out there. Racism and terrorism and uncontrolled financial debt are all crazy! Crazy! And unless someone says something, how can we dialogue and grow together.
