• It's hard to carry a child around with you, but fortunately, in most cases, you don't have to ask a child for directions if you have a well-chosen role model ready to guide you. This is the next prescription: Take one role model, as often as needed. Set aside a few minutes today to fill this prescription so you will have it handy when you need it. Think now about who your role models have been. What do they offer? Who else do you admire, and exactly what do you admire about them? Have your roster of role models ready and waiting to help you the next time you are perplexed.

  Bernie Siegel

• I don't think I was particularly in need of superheroes. I never had any fascination with Superman or Spider-Man or a Batman kind of character.

He gave me an edict that I still pursue: “Life should never be boring."
