    Could also be "role model" in this case possible?

    An "example" may be someone who messed up very badly and is anything but a role model.

      It can also be used to have positive meaning.

      And I would say that it is far more common for people to use it that way.

      I've added in "role model" as an alternative translation.

        Sometimes we say " an example to others ( to avoid repeating ) " regarding messing up.
