People who inspired me

Everyone needs to be inspired and having others inspire you can only have positive effects. It’s one of life’s win win situation. By doing things that inspire others we ourselves benefit, as we are giving rather than receiving. Also, those we inspire benefit and hopefully go on to inspire others in turn. It can only be good thing for society as a whole when we are inspired by others and are ourselves an inspiration to others.


So who had inspired me? My parents (they are the first source of inspiration) apart from them there are lot of people who had inspired me from my childhood till today. We cannot forget our school teachers and few of them are real time examples of sincerity, discipline, honesty, simplicity etc…


There are people whom we have not met yet (we don’t even know whether we will meet them in our life time) also had inspired us.


My teachers inspired me to believe in myself and that I could achieve as long as I worked hard using my ability, and the open opportunities.


I remember one teacher in particular who inspired me, Ms. Sofia, who was my English teacher in 12th Std. She was a disciplined person, but had a sense of hum our too. She tried to help others in all possible ways she can. Even this year she asked me for a help to pay college fees for her student. We school friends contributed our part. She always believed in prayer.


I have also been inspired by various people; let me list few of them.


Dr. A.P.J.Kalam: I know he is a role model for all youth who want to achieve something. It is not easy to come from a lower class family and become a President of India. But his clear vision, the principles he followed all through his life had taken him to that place. He always loves children, talks with them as if he is a child (even though he is a famous scientist).


A.R.Rahman: Again, he is also a role model not only because of his magical music but also for his hard-work, humbleness etc. Though he is an Oscar winner, when it comes to music he just smiles and say “there is lot more way to go.” Only few people say such words even when they are on top notch. Coming to his music sorry ‘He is music’ to me. Whenever, I’m sad or upset his songs are the only support to me. The magic waves of his music are very pleasant to hear.


Rohith: My college friend… He was the one who inspired me to read books. Before my 2nd year college, I have not even read a single book. But he cultivated that habit into me. Thanks Rohith.


There are others who had inspired me by their simplicity, positive attitude, smile, character, writing etc. Thanks to all of you who had inspired me.


The truth is, wherever one looks, it’s impossible not to find inspiration. Look around yourself with an open mind and I guarantee you will find inspiration. Once you do, be sure to implement it that will in turn inspire others. The wonderful thing is that one single act that inspires can lead to a multitude of acts that they inspire others.
