I found this almost a year ago surfing the web. It is written by a young woman. It is so wonderful, so I saved it.

gursikh
when it's a personal opinion, he will say it with humility
when it's guru's word, he will never take credit himself
when it needs to be said, he's not afraid to say it
when it is not worth saying, he stays peaceful and quiet
when you praise him, he won't praise back - he will be thankful to the guru
when you insult him, he won't insult back - he will be thankful to the guru
when you ask him for seva, he'll ask you for seva
when you ask him for a favour, he will eagerly listen
when you say something in line with gurmat, he will say sat bachan
when you say something he doesn't agree with, he may not agree but he will never put you down or make you feel lower
when you are confused, he will use guru's teachings to explain
when you understand, he will ask you to tell others
when he is alone, he will take any time he can to remember the guru
when he is with you, he will not push you, but inspire you to do the same
when you ask him for advice, he will first think of the guru's opinion
when he needs advice, he will first ask the guru
when you get upset with him, he will not try to deny his misgivings
when he is upset with you, he will never reflect on your misgivings
when he makes a mistake, he will ask you and the guru for blessings
when you make a mistake, he will make himself look like the simpleton
when the time is right, the fire of a million suns is in his eyes,
but you'll not often see them - because he's looking at your feet
when you are just talking worldly things, he will make you feel normal,
but he will never let the filth of maya rub off on himself,
when he talks to you about history, his eyes well up with tears,
but he doesn't live in the past, he remakes history, through his actions
when you want the honest truth, he won't sugar coat it
but his words are so sweet ...
... that you don't need sugar coating
this is my impression of my role model bhai parminder singh...
a gursikh,
a gurmukh.
