In life, we face challenges that we think we can’t solve and just give up. But the truth is, we’re just afraid of failing especially when someone’s hoping for our success.
There are so many factors why we give up easily. One can be afraid because of his social status and feel inferior. It can also be lack of courage to step up and voice out, or it can be that he lacks confidence and just blends with the others. Everything I say just proves one point, be somebody.
I am following this account in twitter, @besomebody, and I get some inspiration in living in this harsh reality called world. We should have motivation to be somebody, not just nobody. I’ve read their tweet, “Motivation can conquer all odds, limits, and beliefs. Find your passion, get inspired, and move to stay motivated,” proving that one can do anything without motivation and another can be motivated and do everything. I may not make sense but when you find and know who you really are, and at the same time feel motivated, maybe everything we’ll be just a piece of cake for you. Let your family be your inspiration, do your very best and succeed.
I’ve had this professor in Accounting during my first year in college and he believed in us, his students. Our class were made up of different personalities, nerds, computer geeks, bad boys, fashionistas, and nobodies but he made us one. And I, from being nobody, became somebody. I may have not proven anything yet but I know for myself, I already am. I have times in life that I thought of failing and just give up, but every time I think of him, I feel ashamed of doubting myself when someone out there believes in me. He gave me enough motivation to last me a lifetime. And by the time I graduate and be successful, I can proudly say that I am somebody.
May I leave with this inspirational quote from Norman Vincent Peale, “Change your thoughts and you change your world.” Start with yourself and everything else will follow.
Be somebody folks!

Yes! I appreciate your post it really encourages people to keep on doing good things that can change their life better than the good life they have now. Life is a constant change and when you change your life be sure that you can see totally the changes of it.

I totally agree. Life is absolutely to short to be worried with what individuals think about you or what you are doing with your life. Do what feels right and make the most of everyday and every minute.

Hello,
When we have not , what we like ,we must like what we have. The most important thing to be somebody,know about your capacity first. Remember this what a man can do everyman can do. Only he is commanded by others who does not know how to command. Only he is ruled who does not know how to rule.
Thanks.
