Genuineness
One of the obvious reasons why we are drawn to certain people is because of their authenticity. Genuineness is a trait that is highly underrated, but it is an absolute must when the goal is to build trust in relationships. A role model has no need to tell falsehoods. They live a life of honesty and transparency, which also includes being themselves at all times. They are willing to be vulnerable and demonstrate that they aren’t perfect all of the time, but they also make it clear that they’re trying their best.

Humility
We should always look up to people who succeed but feel no need to boast about being better than others. They simply let what they’ve achieved speak for themselves. They don’t actively seek out the spotlight or recognition, but if they are honored in some fashion, they always make it a point to mention the people in their lives that made their accomplishments possible.
