Made of great is something
that as per my concern is not just about making great changes or organizing
candle marches or changing displays on Facebook. A person who makes change in a
single person’s life is made of great for that individual. When I was a kid I read
a story about a guy strolling down the beach and throwing starfishes back into
the sea. A guy asked him there are thousands starfishes on the beach, so how
throwing one or two into the sea would make a difference. The reply was simple
and straight forward from the guy. He picked up a starfish and threw it back
into the sea and said “I made difference
to that starfish”. For that starfish and for the individual who was
witnessing it other guy was a person made of great.
It just takes a simple
act and simple thought to do something. It might seem real trivial to many but
for some it may be life changing. One such individual whom I got in touch was
my faculty in my engineering college. He was polite and very generous. He was
friendly and had great knowledge about the subject. Even during the free
lectures he can be seen googling or reading something that interested him. But one
thing was sure that he was not a book worm. He was just passionate about the
subject. My branch was electronics and communication and the subject my faculty
used to teach me was Electronic Circuits. He has real good knowledge about the
topic both theoretical and practical.
My friends and I
spoke to him about a lot of things apart from the studies. He once shared his
life story. He did engineering from one of the reputed college of the state and
even had offer to work in one of the IT giants, but he turned it down. He
wanted to something in the field of electronics and wanted to go in research
field. He joined college and even worked hard on his electronics knowledge. He
used to study extremely hard and have read many books from cover to cover.
He had made
projects for students while he was preparing for GRE (Graduate Record Exam). He
made robots for competitions and those have won championships. He prepared for
GRE but as the luck would have it, his father met with an accident and a lot of
savings went for his treatment. His financial condition got dire and he decided
to take tuitions but soon realized that the money will not be enough. He
applied in my college and got the job. He taught us and few other classes and
used to prepare for GRE side by side. He gave GRE and passed with the flying
colors. He has got his paper published in few international journals. He would
be going to pursue his dream to do his research in his field of interest once
his father recovers completely. He got 100% scholarship for his PhD. Right now
he is working with an NGO and teaching under privileged students on weekends. He
did something for himself and making changed into life of others’ too. Now for
that is the person made of great.
It was his hard
work and the will to go on and attitude to not give up on dream that inspired
me. I loved the way he carried himself after achieving so much. He never showed
off of his knowledge. He never insulted any student who didn’t know the answer.
It is because of him I learned how to carry myself and how to work for dreams.
I always wanted to work in a big good company firm and now I am here working with one.

ReplyDeleteHey real nice post.
ReplyDeleteGood to know that there are individuals who work hard for their dreams and even help in uplifting the society.
Now the answer to your question.
Lionel Messi is a symbol of excellence and works honestly for his each game. He is great player.
Same is applicable to Tata Motors. Tata is a brand that is known for its honesty. Its excellence in automobile manufacturing is known by everyone.
So when these two brands come together they complement each other with theiir greatness in their respective fields.
Great changes made by few just by a simple step or thought, one is thrown starfish at the sea and informed about changes of its life. The second one is, he smartly utilized the tragedy and seriousness of life of his father to make a better career for him (GRE, Phd and NGO onward) and others too by teaching likewise. No show off of his knowledge as well. Great!
ReplyDeleteIt was an interesting read really.
Answer to the question. Tata Motors and Lionel Messi. As many knows that success never come easily except rare luck for few. To be ever success since many years, one has to work hard with self-discipline. This is what I can see among these two (Lionel Messi and Tata Motors). I can say, made for each other on this assignment.Good luck!

This made for an awe-inspiring read, Vishwas.
ReplyDeleteAs for the expression of views towards the question, I would like to answer through a stanza or two of verse:
—
‘What drives us from within is what makes us great’
Belief in oneself, the zeal to put up a brave face,
In the face of adversity, to stand strong against fate,
That’s how life is – it’s an excellent goal to chase!
To create a name for oneself, from the soil your feet dampen,
To let critics enhance your effort, not let your spirits dampen,
It’s the journey that counts, more than having scaled the peak,
To persevere so that it’s your actions that have the loudest shriek!
—
To sum up, I feel that this age old adage rings true whenever I think of this beautiful alliance of an Indian Global Brand – Tata Motors and a Global Argentinian Sportsperson – Lionel Messi
“Our Similarities bring us to a common ground; Our Differences allow us to be fascinated”
That realization is truly #madeofgreat. :)
The story of a Legend in himself – that’s how I will describe it in a short sentence. Very well written with words which enhance the simplicity yet greatness of the person. Salutations and very happy for you to have got inspired and bringing out your best in life.
ReplyDeleteMy answer: Tata is a name which any and every person can rely on for its honesty, commitment and perseverance. Lionel Messi is a legend who has carved his name in history books with total dedication to the game, simple living and improvisation which is seen with each game he plays. The association of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi as their Brand Ambassador will definitely give an edge to the Tata group over its competitors solely because the brand Ambassador also holds the same reputation of not letting his fans down ever, like Tata Motors who have given the best to the world over the decades. Its an exemplary association par excellence.

Both believe in excelling in whatever they do and set examples for others to follow.
