Some People Who Inspire Me?

Just today, my Mandarin teacher asked me what was my dream. I just simply said "to become a good person". She wasn't satisfied with my answer as I think she was thinking about a job while I was more broad. Thus she asked more students and still she ended up unsatisfied. She said that we should read more great people's stories so we would be inspired to choose a profession. I couldn't agree more .Truly speaking I had read lots of those but I still confused of job's matter.

It is probably because I am more interested in war stories. Like Zhuge Liang, Alexander The Great, Sparta , etc. Thus literally following their jobs can be a doom for me. Going war to conquer lands? I should consider to try to kill a cockroach first. Others like Thomas Alva Edison or Einstein have some habits that I dislike, smoking and for Edison's case is stubborn. Gradually learning history, I understand that great people are also normal people ,they have weaknesses. No one is perfect and reaching for it will cost forever. It makes me impossible to find a perfect role model. Hence I learn a little good things from people not limited to famous people. Then I begin to understand that even from a child we can learn many things if we open our eyes and heart.>

In conclusion, I don't have any specific role model. Even if I do, it probably goes to Tesla as he is a underrated genius who wished to create a utopia. Yet his dream never come true and he died quite sad. I have the same dream as him which is quite absurd but I don't want to live like him.
