drive.

Topic: thought of the day

before my prayers and before i drifted off into a strange but interesting dream, i thought about people in general and how they are driven in life. part of the reason which i was in this state of mind, would be because of the last lecture i watched by randy pausch.

reason number one: the reason people are driven in life is because they have things they want to accomplish and that they want to be happy.

reason number two: they just simply go day by day doing what they normally would do like a robot on autopilot.

reason number three: they want to prove to someone or prove to themselves that they are better than "that" and better than what others say they aren't.

i believe people are driven from anything inside of them, and these reasons, but what i think makes up majority of it is their role models.

there are good role models and bad ones. every single person is a model in life, whether they like it or not. every move they make is watched and someone may or may not like what happens. if another person doesn't like what what decision they make, they will try and not be like that. if they like what the other person does, they will try to imitate them. of course this theory leads to everyone being someone else, but really, everyone is who they are because of what they want and what they want to believe in..

be what you want to be.

although the "bad models" will seem to be cool, their life might not be what you want, so adopting something of theirs could potentially cause more problems. that would be one reason why they aren't considered good models. they wouldn't become a failure at life, they could not be the most successful in someone elses' eyes.

reason four: driven to be what they aren't yet. showing the true potential that they have.

at the moment, there are three people who inspire me to be who i want to be and sub consciously give me the drive to do my personal best every single day.
