Life inspiration

Humans have one life, and they have many expectations in life. As humans, we want to achieve many things and reach a level to show the world the existence of us. That’s why we always want to be successful in life, as people remember the successful people, not the failure ones. Life is not easy, and sometimes we lose our motivation to move forward. And we need to set a benchmark to chase, which can help us to inspire and keep us on track.

There are certain people who can play a very important role in our life, and we want to be like that person, or we want to gain some abilities like him/her. That person can be our idol as well as the source of inspiration. I know the source of inspiration for many people is some kind of successful person, but it’s not necessarily true that they should belong to the successful category. An ordinary person can be the source of inspiration. And today I am going to share about a person who was the source of inspiration for me for a particular time.

I hope you can remember that I used to live in one of my distant relatives’ houses since class VIII. There, my aunt was a widow, and she had two sons. The elder one was a highly educated person, and he used to guide me in my studies also. Let’s call him Alauddin. His father died when he was in class V. With the death of his father, his family faced a financial blow for sure, and managing the food was not an easy thing. The mother of Alauddin didn’t stop the education in the middle. When Alauddin was admitted to class VIII, he started to do tuition. He thought it was the best way to help his mother and manage his educational expenses. He was good at teaching, and with time, he got more tuition, and that helped him greatly. Later, he started to teach at a coaching center. Little by little, he started to take financial responsibility for his home, and at the same time, he continued his studies. His mother didn’t need to worry about financial things when he graduated from university. That’s his story.

Growing up without a father is like living in a house without a roof. So, life is not so easy for Alauddin either. He faced lots of difficulties, especially with finances, but nothing could stop him from being highly educated. He earned respect on his own. When he faced difficulties, he faced them bravely, as he didn’t have any escape. Growing up in that way, continuing his studies and providing financial backup to his family was not an easy thing. He shared his life struggles with me and also shared how many opportunities he missed many times. His overall personality and his life achievements were very inspiring to me.

You may think it was a very simple thing, but I don’t think it’s so simple considering his situation. I realized that if one is determined to achieve something, he can achieve it if he make continuous efforts for it. His story and his personality were indeed simple, but it was enough to inspire me. He was my inspiration, and I wanted to be someone like him who could take his responsibilities well and achieve goals.
