Martin Luther King, Gandhi, Beethoven...these are names that inspire. When you hear their stories; their pain, their suffering, and how in the face of so much adversity, they overcame, you cannot help but bow to their greatness. But these names, and so many others, are but names in a book of history. In this world of rage and apathy, are there still those to whom we can look up in awe? Is there someone who can inspire a people ruled by the gods of marijuana and alcohol?
Human greatness is supposed to be a reason for us to believe again. A tiny light in a in a sea of futility and despair. It is now, however, simply a product of commercialism.
Today, you are what the media makes you. You are as great as the products you endorse. Wanna feel as great as Scholes? Wear Nike. Yeah dude, like..just do it and stuff. Yeah, Lance Armstrong's my idol, man. I wear a Livestrong band.
That's our tribute to human greatness. Creating and propogating a lifestyle.

i beg 2 differ on the point u make abt a person bein wht the media makes of him...i think its true only in case of ceratin "STARS",in whteva their expertise is,who r nuthin but shadows of the real inspiration tht some of us seek....(sorry 4 the gramattical mistakes)
Okay, Slash(of guns n roses), was an alcoholic and a womanizing drug addict, but why he in a way inspires me is that he was focussed. He'd play the guitar for 12 hrs a day at the age of 15. The point is that his focus made him greatest guitar player after jimi hendrix. so i guess, everyone inspires us, and like raghav once told me, everything in the world, good, bad or ugly teaches us something, and that should inspire us. And if u dont guess who wrote this, ur very stupid
