Chipps encourages you to seek out and praise your heroes. However, they might not be the people you first think of.
Doesn’t the saying go ‘Never meet your heroes’? Is that because you’ll get to meet them and discover that they’re just normal, boring folks like you and me? Or worse, just unruly, drunken bums who simply fail to live up to the lofty ideas you have of them from their public personas.
That’s a flawed argument. I think that you should always meet your heroes. But, before you do, you need to think about who your heroes actually are. It’s likely you’ll have met them already.
