Every single person draws inspiration from others in many different ways. Some motivate us to march forward, while some others make us wiser and throw a new ray of hope. The impact that each person has on others would be different.
When I went through the initial orientation part in the 'Wings of Fire' by honourable Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam sir, I started pondering over the 'inspirations' and that resulted in this post. It is interesting to read how a few people with a different outlook could instill faith and curiosity in a village boy who later became one of the most respected scientists of the country and also became the President of India. He also talks about the broad mindedness of his father and neighbours which enabled them to sail past the boundaries of religion with ease and treat all of them as equals. The professors at various institutes, played their roles to perfection by helping him in his quest for knowledge with a strong desire to 'fly'.
Years later, the missile man of India is the inspiration for many youngsters with his uncompromising quest for knowledge, and his humbleness even after conquering great heights. I was fortunate enough to see kalam sir a couple of times. The first of them was when he visited our school about 9 or 10 years ago. He, being the chief guest was offered a chair on the dias. But we saw him talking to our principal and others, without taking the seat on the dias. We didn't know what was happening. A few minutes later, he came down to us and said he wanted to sit between us and not on the dias ! A chair was then placed amidst us for our guest and he started talking to us. He always loves to talk to students. Probably he wanted to nourish the young buds and develop the curiosity in those young minds.
I too have been inspired by many in many ways. Some traits of certain people attract us, which some personalities influence us immensely. This is true for everyone. To list all of them is next to impossible and so the list is cut short. The great wall of Indian cricket, Rahul Dravid is a person I admire. He knows what he is capable of, and what he is not. He always stays within himself and never gets affected when others do something more stylish. He remains unaffected, which is extremely attractive.
To express things briefly is very difficult. Hence to convey a message in simple, brief words needs a great understanding and experience of the matter. For that matter, I find many quotations interesting. Many of them convey a good message or motivates others. They do help us to look at things from a different perspective. Einstein once said that he possessed no special talents except that he was passionately curious. These words, simply includes all that is needed to convey the message. The talents needed for a scientist cannot be described in simpler words.
The motivations that one has in life influences his character, the thought process and his deeds.
They ignite the inner spark to give the firepower.
