Well, on my part Peter Parker's life kinda mirrors my own a
lot.
Always getting picked on by the jackasses in school, constantly
bullied, ostracised, academically sound but often lost in the
background, constantly doubts himself and his own abilities.... I
see a lot of me in him.
And in spite of all the crap that's been thrown his way... he
chooses to just grin and bear with it. Regardless of the amount of
pressure he's under, he would choose to cope with it with a strong,
brave front coupled with a wisecrack or two. That's something I can
really learn from him.
One of his quotes particularly resonates with me: 'When life hands
you a lemon, squirt it in someone else's eye and run like heck.'
Note that I said that I identify with Peter Parker and not Spider-Man.... simply put, I find it
hard to relate with some dude in tights who can crawl up walls and
shoot webs.
