Inspirations Everywhere ..!!

Who's your inspiration/role model ..?? This may be a very common question having a number of possible answers, yet this proves to be an important one ultimately. The one asking the question can actually form an impression about the person he asked this question, based on his role model only. So many a times, people (mostly students) are found citing the big names as their role model. Now the question is, "Are they really being inspired by them ?" Some answers may be "yes"... some may be "no", while the rest might be still thinking..!! Well, I am not the one to judge or prove here anything, but giving my views personally, I don't think, I am being inspired by such big names. This may shock some but that's the truth. I find my inspirations in and around me, so why to go that far. I don't deny that, I actually respect some great personalities like Dr. Kiran Bedi, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam and many more living legends. I like the way they have made a name of their own... I like the way they pose themselves, calm and composed... I like the way they represent themselves, so down to earth and humble... yet, the lessons which I require to sustain myself... the inspiration which I need to frame myself in this age is not drawn from these eminent personalities. It comes from the people with whom I live daily... my parents, my family, teachers, elders, co-workers and friends ..!! These are the people whom I can always count as and when I need. These are the people whom I can immediately follow, when in trouble. So, how can I think of others (unknown to me) as my inspirations, while they are always with me ..!!

I wonder, how my life would have been if my parents would not have taught me to be responsible, caring, tolerant and practical. Things would have gone out of my control and I would have been in a half-devastating state ..!! I wonder, how my life would have been if my family (my cousins, especially) would not have demonstrated the power of being together and love and care for each other. I would have found myself lost somewhere ..!! I wonder, how my life would have been if my teachers won't have taught me the essence of studying. I might had a life as dark as night ..!! I wonder, how my life would have been if my friends won't have introduced me to the real world and instilled in me the confidence to face it. I would have felt myself left out in every field ..!! How important these people are in my life ..!!

Leave alone them, I have learnt a lot from the nature around me. The vast blue sky has taught me to move up in life, yet always be down-to-earth. The flying birds have taught me to keep moving in life, though halt somewhere but not to quit. The huge mountain has taught me to be determined in all that I do. The chain of ants have taught me to work harder and harder with the hope that the future will be comfortable. The blooming flower has taught me to be selfless and helpful. The waves of the ocean has taught me to keep moving always, you never know you might make a troubled heart, cheered up. The flowing river has taught me to find my own way conquering all the obstacles on the way. Ohh.... there is so much to learn ...!!! If all these wisdom are available in the surroundings only... then why not, stop here, accept them and return them a promise as a token of gratitude... a promise of "not letting them down ever"..!!

Coins always make so much sound but the currency notes are always silent. So when the value increases, keep yourself calm and silent ..!!
