Hanging out with Inspiring People

To date, I am still so elated, overly excited, and overly enthusiastic... why, I just recently found out that it is I who dictate what should happen with my life... they are right! I'm a blank page right now... still need to figure out what I should focus on.

Anyhow, I have decided to spend the rest of my life with the best people in the world. I decided that my companions should only be the best. ^____^ and so I have compiled my recent finds... my inspiration friends who I look up to when people would rather be mediocre... Thanks to these people, I have the fire to be my best too!:P


Takehiko Inoue is not only a superb illustrator, but also a great philosopher and storyteller. He has the power to draw out characters in three-dimensional. I cried at one point in Slam Dunk.... which was a little surprising since the series was light and funny... but the determination of the characters that Mr. Inoue had created came from real life struggles and frustrations. People at some point could relate to what the characters have gone through... I will reread it over and over again until I get old. Takehiko writes about hope and success in step by step process that if it's applied in each person's field, it will bring out the best in each person. Entertaining and full of lessons in life. Awesome... just so awesome!



I did like Michael Jordan, but not a hard core basketball fan...but since I watched Slam Dunk, my admiration for him elevated... plus he practiced a thousand times in shooting like no other basketball player did... he was the one reponsible for the game to flourish and be looked up to. He is a true legend... I will imitate his discipline and his determination. A goal oriented person like no other. What a great and phenomenal human being!



In Japan, a writer must also know how to draw... and oh boy, this guy, Masakazu Katsura really inspired me to appreciate love stories because of his genius way of weaving the story of I"s... I cried at the end... which is not my usual personality. But his way of telling a story hit a cord. I love how he presented everything, the thoughts, the anxieties, and the humorous situations... I am lucky to have stumbled across a good read.

I came to understand that in order for me to be the best in my field, I should also try to be assertive and always keep these kind of people around me. Forget the people who wanted mediocrity... because everyone's destined to be great... and my tomorrows belong only to me, not anyone else's... so I have the right to decide to be great!

These people I listed down, they will one day become my friends! ^__^
