We have read about them in books and we experience them in real life, whether at school, at home or among friends. We are also influenced by seeing movies, watching theatre, watching TV, reading newspapers and listening to radio. All these things shape our emotions and we begin to express them.

We sometimes want to be like our mothers, our fathers, our teachers or our heroes. We may want to follow past heroes, like Gandhi, Churchill or anyone else we admire. Admiration is an emotion.
