I don't have a role model, per se, but I have several people who I respect and try to learn from.

right. any individual no matter how good , all have their deficiencies and faults. instead of making one person a role model (kind of dangerous i think) better to learn from the good qualities of persons around you.

William Randolph Hearst.

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., remembers his father asking Hearst why he preferred concentrating on newspapers, with their limited, regional appeal, rather than spending more energy on motion pictures and their worldwide audience. Fairbanks recalls Hearst's reply: "I thought of it, but I decided against it. Because you can crush a man with journalism, and you can't with motion pictures."

Speaking of business role model, I'm more of a fan of Jack Welch. I do admire Gates and Buffet for their philanthropy.
