Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs, Sachin Tendulkar, Agatha Christie, Mark Zuckerberg. Nopes.. none of them. All you have got to be is YOU.
We have all had one such role-model in our lives, someone who inspires us and whom we want to be like. We happen to follow their ideologies, principles and philosophies and walk on the paths they have traversed through. Often we ourselves end up comparing us to people who are more authoritative and dynamic. Somewhere in this process we forget to be, how we as an individual are. These role-models in reality are just a milestone, what lies ahead is where one shall aim to be.
I cannot be you, nor can you ever be me. There are always going to be people who do not like you the way you are, the way you look, the way you talk, the things you say, the things you believe in. But it is on you to decide who you want to be. You need to learn to stand up for yourself and accept yourself. Don't let anybody put you down, make your own choices. Don't be a follower, be a leader and be confident about what you do. Value and respect everyone's opinions but at the same time, never let anyone define you or subdue your identity. You may be unique in your own ways and probably that is what makes you stand out from the crowd
Someone has rightly quoted, "An original is always worth more than a copy". The biggest challenge in life is to BE YOURSELF in a world that is trying to make you like everyone else. Let people see the real, imperfect, weird, beautiful and magical you and they will eventually love you for the way you are! :)
