Becoming a better man with a role model
What’s a role model? Well, blatantly put, he’s that guy who can do things that you can’t ever dream of doing in all your nine lives! I remember one time years ago when I was at a movie theater watching Jerry Maguire. And then there came this part that I would never forget for the rest of my life. The part where Tom Cruise walks up to Renée Zellweger, and tells her with his big watery eyes that she… completes…. him!
Aah! In one instant, the hall was engulfed by a watery salty sea breeze and all I could hear around me was sniffs and snorts. Tissue wipes were pulled out of dainty lady bags all around me and mascara stained faces were being rubbed pink. And there I was in the midst of an emotional crisis. And that’s when I imagined myself running to the movie screen with my pants unzipped, yelling “what’s he got that I ain’t got?!”
But I didn’t. Let’s face it, any guy who can get women all around the world welling up and creating new salt lakes has got to be some super dude. I wanted to be him. At that moment, I just knew. Jerry Maguire was a freakin’ role model!
Jerry Maguire may have had his flaws, but he was a man who knew how to charm women and every else around him. If I could pick a few pointers from him, I could become someone like him.
