Yes and no.
Sometimes we overthink what is required to be a positive influence.
The people that saved me from an abusive childhood were just normal, responsible adults.
Seeing what a “regular” family looked like and seeing how “normal” people communicated to one another was a game changer.
If we don’t help one another, we’re all fucked.

I see the logic in that.
If you take it to mean be a normal, responsible adult, it makes sense, but I think most people would take it as more like be a person with a specific set of skill/knowledge/resources/personality traits, which might not be nearly as useful for any young person you’re likely to meet because your own life situation was unusual and/or the world has changed so much since then. Just saying.

Unless you’re Tom Hanks, in which case it gives you all the 
you want… but then… makes you stop wanting it! 
Classic Satan move, obviously.
You know it’s Hollywood when those guys get chicks 
CBS and P&G aren’t exactly Hollywood, but whatever. Go ahead and be jealous if you want.
Oh crap. I just looked up “tom hanks sexy” thinking I would find something funny to post. It can’t be unseen!
