For me my role models aren't a real person, however the role model would be doing things I would aim to do.
Why fictional characters: because I want to see the immediate impossible results of someone or something doing amazing works. and i'l want to be like them.
For example Spongebob motivates me to have fun working, (generally) and to have fun with the smaller little details of a job. Whatever small thing that makes the job interesting and motivating. Instead of going to a job thinking its chore I might aim to make the best of the fact I am working there.
