from The How to Think like Leonardo DaVinci Workbook by Michael J. Gelb, pg 40.

"One of the most efficient ways to learn from mistakes is to let someone else make them for you. It is wonderful to have positive role models, but you can also learn a tremendous amount by studying anti-role models. (The author writes) For example, I learned most of what I know about coaching and teaching from my worst coaches and teachers. I remember sitting in class while one teacher droned on endlessly; another never listened when someone asked a question; then there was the coach who was fond of humiliating his players. They taught me what not to do. I am also grateful to other anti-role models who, by demonstrating exactly what not to do, have helped me avoid getting into debt and having a nervous breakdown. The tricky thing about this exercise is that sometimes your greatest anti-role models also happen to be positive role models in some areas. Your task, of course, is to accurately discriminate between what you want to emulate and what you want to avoid".

For this discussion, list three role models (who is close to you or in ur family. Example: mother, sister, uncle, etc) and the qualities they demonstrate that youd like to develop. What can you do today to better embody these qualities?

Then list three anti-role models (who is close to you or in ur family. Example: mother, sister, uncle, etc) and qualities that youd like to avoid. How can you learn from their mistakes.
