Thanks Nico for sharing all that. I like the idea of adopting elements from many different people to help inspire, motivate and achieve our goals. We can not expect all things from just one person so better to take different aspects from many people to help us!

Else you force yourself into becoming a clone rather than an unique multi-skilled individual able to deal with, and most of all, one who is able to create change.
Be fast like Bolt.
Persistent like Tiger Woods.
Daring like Senna.
Adaptive like Federer.
Forgiving like Madiba.
Creative like Elon Musk.
Intuitive like Darwin.
Curious like Edison.
Thorrough like a chess grandmaster.
Intuitive like Branson.
Enduring like Federer.
Inspirational like Churchill.
Tender like Mother Theresa.
Etc etc
