I’m going to describe a nice person - both friend and mentor.  He is enthusiastic toward job and persistent in improving working experience. Both of us are hard-working and reliable for loving our profession at least now. Though he is a little introverted,  humor and easy-going way is impressive. Not only that, an obvious comparison for him and me is temper. I’m quick-tempered and anxious, however he’s calm and self-controlled.  Because he is a perfectionist, high quality requirement for many things. I have become self-disciplined and intelligent after getting along with him for a long time. Maybe that’s the magic power of role models.
