I Want to be Like..

[thefonz]

The philosopher David Hume believed that nothing in life is 100% original. Everything imagined has been the product of something that has already existed. For example. If you wanted to envision a golden mountain (which doesn't exist) you have to think of gold and you have to think of a mountain. A gold mountain is an original concept, however you need things that have already existed to envision it.

I feel this way about the person that I want to be. I believe that if there is a specific trait you want to inherit, then it's best to look to attain someone elses greatness before surpassing it. I could probably come up with a list of over 100 people who will influence the person I want to become but I've narrowed it down for purposes of example. Some people are listed are people I know personally (censored), some are celebrity personalities. However, these are some of the ways I shape my life. Some topics have more than one person to reference:

I want breath control of Maynard James Keenan
I want guitar skills and passion of Jimmy Page and David Gilmour
I want the drumming ability of John Bonham and Danny Carey
I want a food diet like Jack Lalanne
I want the composure under pressure of Tom Brady
I want the confrontational skills and cooking ability of Gordon Ramsey
I want the gym intensity of Hans *****
I want the seduction skills of Entropy
I want the stacking abilities of Saffron
I want the comic ability of Conan O’Brien, Jim Norton, Adam ****
I want the work ethic of Bill Belichick and
I want the learning ability of Aaron ****
I want the financial knowledge of Suzi Ormen
I want the investing knowledge of Warren Buffet
I want the business knowledge of Mark Cuban
I want the philosophy skills of Ralph Waldo Emerson
I want the conceptual skills of Roger Waters
I want the fighting ability of George St. Pierre
I want the sexual ability of Rocco Sifredi
I want the writing ability of Pook
I want the passion of socializing of Theodore Roosevelt

I could go on alot longer, but I'll do so in private writing to not make this an endless shpeal. When I think of excelling in these areas I will connect with these people in my mind as if they were my teachers. I will form my ideal self based on some of these people.

How about you?

You know, when you spill your guts about a very personal topic....it's nice to get feedback.

Anyone smart enough to discuss?

dude thats a pretty big list with some very special skills and abilities.
i mean im talking some of those people are naturally gifted to their skills.

if you want to learn each of those then it may take one a lifetime.
but if you're the type that sets a goal and achieves it then yeh do it.

although you may not know it you actually hold a % of those skills i mean composure under pressure, fighting skill, investment, drumming all can be picked up to perfection over time even Jack Lalanne admits he was addicted to sugar and fat foods when he was young and that changed.. its a mind set.

sso..go for gold
