Of course as u can see,my topic of interest today is of passion. Nope...not about romance but about people and their passion for something or a goal that they are willing to sacrifice a lot of things in life to achieve. Because I wish to become someone that has a passion for a goal; I would like to blog about these inspiring people.
He is a man with passion for greater achievements and one of it was the Star Wars production. I'm not much of a Star Wars fan but his determination to achive what he did today earned him all the credits. Salute!
Michael Jordan - was cut from his high school basketball team. Michael Jordan quote, "I've failed over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed."
He went on to become one of the most famous basketball players in history and became an icon when any aspiring players or fan gushed about basketball. A great success from a boy that knows how to counter simple defeat by climbing up again. Respect!
NICK VUJICIC: U PROBABLY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS GUY. BUT HE IS ONE TOUGH COOKIE.
U can probably see from his picture that he has no limbs. He was born in 1982 in brisbane Australia with no limbs.It's a rare Tetra-amelia disorder: limbless, missing both arms at shoulder level, and having one small foot with two toes protruding from his left thigh. Despite the absence of limbs, he surfs and swims, and plays golf and soccer. Nick graduated from college at the age of 21 with a double major in Accounting and Financial Planning. He began his travels as a motivational speaker, focusing on the topics that today's teenagers face.Whatever challenges ur facing, remember that there is always someone out there that had it tougher than u. Always remind urself of that.
Walt Disney - was turned down by over a hundred banks when he tried to get funding to develop Disneyland. He was also fired from his job at a newspaper for "lacking ideas". He also had several bankruptcies before he was able to develop Disneyland.
He became the well known icon for cartoon characters that made dreams possible for children. Our childhood owes it to him. Thanks Walt!
aEnid Blyton - is a British author who was rejected by publishers 1,000 times. She is my favorite author when I was a kid and I loved her stories. Who could forget those compilation of short stories that she wrote and adventures for little kids. She is probably the childhood for a lot of u who loved reading her books when u were younger. Being a bestselling author didn't just happen. For a lot of things in our journey; we need to fight for what we really desire. Never give up hope.
If u have any inspirational characters that are passionate for the goals and things they love, I'd like to hear it.
If u like this post,do click some ads haha.
Michael Air Jordan – The Greatest Basketball Player Ever
ReplyDeleteGeorge Karl – “He’s a winner. You’re going to have to cut Michael Jordan’s heart out to beat him.”
Paul WestPhal – “We can’t stop him; I never said we can stop him, no one can stop him.”
Isiah Thomas – “I remember looking directly in his eyes and it was like whatever you do, whatever you say, we’re going to beat you. And once you get him like that all you can do is move aside because there’s no stopping this freight train.”
Clyde Drexler – “He’s a winner, he plays to win and he just doesn’t play to do all the fancy things.”
David Stern – “You are simply the “Standard” by which basketball excellence is measured.”
I like the last one...very motivating for the person it was directed at
