it has said don't count your life in the number of breaths that you breed count
it in the number of moments that took your breath away how does such
spectacular and rich moments come to our life they happen by this ingredient
called inspiration inspiration is the fuel that burns within us that powers us
to bring our best talents and abilities to bear upon the work at hand today on
May 15th of this happiness challenge I wish to
share with you the secret of an inspired life one schoolboy during his summer
break he applied to the nearby mall for a job he was invited for the interview
but on reaching there he discovered that he was the 21st kid in the line however
he was motivated to get the job so he scribbled a note and placed it before
the receptionist he said ma'am can you please give it to your manager sitting
inside the manager read what the child had written and decided he is the one
who deserves this job the child had written sir I am the 21st kid in the
line decide nothing until you see me in those words the child had expressed his
end Shia's enthusiasm or inspiration is that
inner ingredient that brings out the best in us when we are equipped with
this virtue of motivation we become practically unstoppable as was mr.
soichiro honda the founder of the worldwide honda automobile empire mr.
Honda was not born with the proverbial golden spoon in his mouth rather he came
from a lower middle class family when mr. Honda was in engineering school he
created a new design for piston rings and suggested it to the toyota
corporation they placed an order with him and extended the capital for him to
set up his plant however when his factory was constructed an earthquake in
Japan leveled it to the ground mr. Honda was not discouraged he decided to remake
it but by then Japan had entered the second world war and cement was being
diverted for the war endeavor mr. Honda's enthusiasm made him come up
with a new technique for making cement with the help of which he remade his
factory however by then America had also entered the world war and their bombers
bombed his Factory mr. Honda was still not discouraged he
utilized the gasoline tanks thrown by the bumble planes to reconstruct the
factory once again when the production was ready to begin Japan lost the world
war and along with it all its colonies fuel was now in short supply
people did not have the fuel to drive their cars there was the question of
Toyota purchasing his piston rings mr. Honda was driving his bicycle when he
had a brainwave he added a motor to it when he drove it around the neighborhood
and his neighbors were fascinated and requested him to do the same for them
when he did it for sixteen twenty people he realized that he had a marketable
idea there but he didn't have the money so he procured a list of 8,000 bicycle
stockists of Japan and personally hand wrote notes to 5,000 of them 1,800
extended the captain with the help of which he made his first motorcycle
called the super cup with the help of which he started manufacturing his
motorcycles in his lifetime the Honda Corporation employed a hundred thousand
people worldwide and today it has gone way beyond that quality of inspiration
was so vital to mr. soichiro honda's success in his work that is why the
philosopher Henry David Thoreau said you may lose everything in life but your
enthusiasm and you will gain it all back again but
that person who has lost his inspiration now he is truly bankrupt so today let us
think of how we can inspire ourselves and how this added fuel of enthusiasm
will help us improve the quality of our work and assist us in our endeavor to be
better people thank you
you
