There are many people that we encounter in our lives. Some we remember while some we forget; some pass us by while some stays in our lives.
While growing up, the questions of who inspires you has come face to face with me several times, and in different life stages, this inspirational individual has changed several times.
I have realized, it is not those famous people that we hear on the news or see on the television that inspires me, but rather the corner article of the new paper sharing stories of common individuals like. What they have accomplished may be minor, but sometimes very meaningful. With our society heavily focused on materialism in judging a person’s importance or success, we have forgotten many simple details in our lives which makes them meaningful.
Being a subscriber of Reader’s Digest, there are stories of amazing people doing amazing things, yet they are so humble in announcing their contributions that people often don’t know about them. To me, these are the people that we should be inspired by and should look up to.
I want to be inspired because of a person’s loving nature, because of person’s selfless act and because of a person’s desire in making others better. And by being inspire by these individuals, I hope to someday accomplish something that will too, inspire others and making my life more meaningful.
