Inspirational People
This week marked the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech appealing against racial prejudice that inspired many people for generations. I thought it might be fun to look at some other famous figures that have inspired people in the modern day.
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs CEO of Apple- He did not go to university or college but became a multi-billionaire launching the Apple brand. Here's a few words of his famous Harvard speech:
“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The
troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes... They push the human race
forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because
the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the
ones who do.”
JK Rowling
Dreamt of being a fictional writer, now a multi-billionaire with her Harry Potter series. Here's a few words of her famous Harvard speech:
“The knowledge that you have emerged wiser and
stronger from setbacks means that you are, ever after, secure in your ability
to survive. Such knowledge is a true gift, for all that it is painfully won,
and it has been worth more than any qualification I ever earned.”
Olympic Athletes
After the success of the 2012 London Olympics, Sports starts
became inspirational figures to thousands of people, especially younger
generations proving that you can achieve what you want if you work for it. 
Who inspires you?
Have a fantastic weekend!
