Countless times, we often use these titles wrongly, and almost everyone, at one point or the other, gets it wrong. What really is the difference???
​
Just as a model is something that represents an inspirational ideal, a role model is someone who inspires others to imitate his or her good behavior.
​
A role model is someone others look to as a good example. A role model is someone worthy of imitation — like your beloved teacher or a well-behaved celebrity, especially by younger people.
​
Parents try to be role models for their children by being good people. A famous person who gives money to charity or helps sick children is a role model.
​
If someone behaves badly, you could say they're a negative or bad role model — the kind of person who shouldn't be imitated (I think this is something we should already know).
​
Who then is the Mentor?
​
A mentor is a person who can support, advise and guide you. They typically take the time to get to know you and the challenges you're facing, and then use their understanding and personal experience to help you improve.
​
These are people you develop close relationships with. You get to know them one-on-one, someone who is easily accessible.
​
You can have a spiritual mentor, a career mentor, a fitness mentor, an academic mentor, etc.
​
​
Let's look at practical examples;
​
On fitness, your role model could be Adesua Etomi Wellington or Dwayne Johnson, but your mentor is your fitness instructor.
​
On spirituality, your role model could be Bishop David Oyedepo or Apostle Emmanuel Iren but your mentor is your Pastor. And so on and so on.
​
At times, you may be opportune enough to have your role model as your mentor, but in most cases, this isn't possible.
​
And, it's never enough to just have a role model. You need to have a mentor too, someone you can be accountable to. Someone to ensure you are always on track because we have to admit that without us being accountable to anybody we may become complacent, and lazy in achieving our set goals and, eventually, Our Big Vision.
​
Moreover, it's not wrong to have different role models or mentors. You can decide to have role models/mentors in different areas of your life; academically, business-wise, and so on. The problem comes in when you begin to change them like you change your clothes, that shows indecisiveness.
​
Now, the question is, who is your mentor? Who is your role model?

Matt Morris is the author of several publications, including “Fire your boss and live life on your own,” “Escape the Rat Race,” and “The Unemployed Millionaire.”

He has given speeches in 35 different nations and been interviewed by top television networks, including CNN, ABC, CBS, etc. owned a business that assisted 300 people in becoming published authors.
​

His narrative?
​

According to reports, Matt's mother raised him. His father was a murderer who was detained and imprisoned.

At the age of 13, his father passed away after committing su***de.
​

Additionally, Matt failed as an entrepreneur. At precisely 21 years old, he experienced homelessness and began sleeping in his car and bathing in gas station bathrooms.
​

Matt's past and failures, however, did not prevent him from becoming who he is now.
​

As a result, he started earning six figures at age 24 and became a self-made millionaire at age 29.

No matter one's past, Matt's narrative serves as a reminder to never give up on oneself.
​

Some come from low-income families, which prevents them from having large financial ideas. Others may have backgrounds similar to Matt's, which may have mentally damaged them. But once the mind is made up, anything can be overcome.
​

Who would have thought that someone who took a bath in a gas station bathroom would go on to become a millionaire?
​

The reason being that Matt never gave up and so, must, anyone who wishes to be successful?
​

Come to think of it. The man who gives up has failed by default. But the man who chooses to stand against all odds stands the chance of being successful. So, where do you stand? On the side of winners or on the side of quitters.
