No long time no see! Why, you
ask? Because I’m now making another post just after my previous post. Don’t
worry, It’s not like I’m having a postarrhea. I just had a delightful
coincident when my previous task/post must clashes with the thing I’m about to
tell you. Practically saying, I’m squeezing my head off for two consecutive
posts right now. Great, just great.
Now, putting aside the love of my
life, I deliver to you this post. It’s quite special, so, I’m about to mind my
language a little bit. This is it: the person of my inspiration.
What would pop in your head when
you thought of an inspiring person? Humanitarians? Scientists? Rights
activists? Or maybe –and don’t be ashamed- pop stars? Don’t prejudice first.
Those bunch of people, even pop stars truly worth to be inspiration, because
their roads to success were never simple, and the fact they reached the peak
means they’ve braved themselves to the extent they would’ve never imagine of
themselves. And so, I’m taking just one example out of thousands of those and
what I know, to be one of the most encouraging person ever lived.
From her birth she was just a
simple little girl. And, to her fortune, she had a loving and supporting
family. Everyone had already pictured her future to be brightful and full of
blessings. But then, in a rush, the fate intervened. Just nineteen months after
seeing the world for the first time, the innocent little girl caught illness.
And it was no ordinary. The disease caught her by the eyes and ears. How
unfortunate, for her who was trying to learn the world, suddenly God forbid her
to? From that moment, they knew: Helen Keller is doomed.
But, as you know it, hope is
always there, even at the most difficult situation. And in Helen’s case, it came
in the name of Anne Sullivan. She’s the toughest, most stubborn teacher Helen
would’ve known. She patiently taught her slowly with the most comprehendable
methods as possible. She would’ve done things normal people wouldn’t in order
to make Helen understand. Day by day she struggled all the way. And finally,
enlightenment stormed Helen by the word of ‘water’.
Afterwards, she was the most
curious person on the earth. She pushes her physic limits and make way for the
glory an able person would rarely reach. Impossible doesn’t seem to be in
Helen’s dictionary, for she accomplished many great feats and left behind a
brilliant legacy.
I think, what we should take from
Helen’s life as the foundation of our lives is her confidence and firm-willed
nature. Trust me, nothing good for us will ever come when we’re shy and feeling
helpless. Confidence is believe what you believe is right. Even Helen, whose
sight and hearings are stolen from her, still owned a confidence to live in
this world. That should put the suicidal able people to shame.
When you do, the next thing that
comes is firm-willed. You can’t focus to accomplish something when you have a
thing for something else. You will never even be deemed trustful if you can’t
be faithful on something. To make you understand, what if Helen doesn’t own the
firm-willed nature from the first place? Of course she would’ve never known the
meaning of ‘water’ and she would certainly never did so many accomplishments. You
may call it the other way as principles. You must have good principles for you
to live a good live.
To put it simple, I chose her to
be my inspiration because she’s the true symbol of confidence and good will.
Why, you ask? Because we can now see that the power of confidence and hope
could still motivate even the most unable person in the world. So, what about
you? Who’s your inspiration?
