Something that inspired me was in fact not something, but someone. In my perspective, Muhammad Ali is the epitome of dilligence, perserverance and courage. Ali once said, “I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion’.” This shows that no matter how difficult an obstacle in life may be, it is the end result in which you must focus on to fuel your motivation presently. This form of logic has helped me in ample situations, specifically school, where I have had to concentrate on my goal of a solid future post-university whilst battling through an assignment or a night of studying. I believe that when we drive ourselves to overcome difficult tasks, it helps prepare us mentally for the even more demanding challenges that lie ahead, and Ali is a prime example of someone who did just that.
