How My Driver’s Life Motivates Me



           When I have to think about a person who motivates me in my daily life, it is going to be Ade, a driver in my family’s furniture shop. He is 26 years old.  In my eyes, he has special qualities of becoming a good driver. Some experiences that he has make him look better than another driver we have.  He is a hard worker who is always ready to do his job anytime. One thing that makes me respect him is the fact that he is polite. For me, politeness is one of basic characters which can make people appreciate you.
            It is very interesting to know about his goals for his own life. I think it is a simple thing when he has a dream of having something like a motorcycle. Maybe it is easy for us to get it, but it is very hard for him to have it. I know how it feels of wishing something that we really want. We want it to come true soon, but the reality is so far from our dream because we have to work harder. He makes me realize that something cannot be reached easily. Another good goal that he has is having a house. I imagine of my own house too. I think it will be amazing to have a house where I will live with my happy little family someday.
            As a driver, his life is full of challenges which can put him in danger. He has to be ready to drive all day long until night. It means that the risk of accident may come anytime, anywhere. I understand it because I have felt this before. I have driven by myself to deliver some furniture because there was no driver at that time. It was tiring and terrifying. One simple thing, but very important is how to remember places. He often gets lost when he drives. I empathize that he has to go to many different places which he has not known before. I am actually not good at remembering direction, and he could be like me. So far, he does his job well because he can overcome those challenges by being careful.
            He motivates me to do my best for my own life. He inspires me to achieve my goals and motivates me not to waste my limited time. He teaches me how to use time wisely.

Sir Alex Ferguson is the Most Successful Football Manager Who Influences My Life


Sir Alex Ferguson is the most successful football manager who influences my life. He is the manager of Manchester United, the football club that I love the most. He is a Scottish who came from outside England, but he reached huge successes there. He is very amazing, and I hope I can be as successful as he is. The very interesting thing about him is that he was knighted in 1999 by the Queen because of his achievements. He has won many triumphs and I am really proud of him.
Sir Alex Ferguson has strengths which I can learn from. He has a great obsession. I think obsession is one of the keys to success. He inspires me to pursue my dreams.  Tough he is old, he has a great encouragement. He does not want to stop working even though he has achieved almost everything in his career. He influences me to do my best. I can start from now by completing my study and getting my degree. Sir Alex is a loyal person. I may take this good example for my life.  I think it is hard to be loyal because there will be some obstacles in life, but the challenge is how we overcome those obstacles. Someday when I get a job, I have to be loyal too.
I learn more about life from his weaknesses. He has a bad experience in a horse partnership. I suppose it is not easy to make a good relationship with others. Another bitter experience in his life was when his team was beaten by Barcelona in the 2010 Champions League final. He did not give up, yet kept on going to get another success. I have had the similar bad experience like him. When I was in junior high school, I failed in a basketball competition. I did not give up because I really love basketball. I finally won the competition when I was in senior high school. It felt fantastic. Now I know that patience is very worthy and it leads us to win the victory.
Sir Alex’s successes inspire me to reach my dreams. He is my inspiration. He motivates me to have a dream and find the way to reach that. He taught me how to survive when we fell and be a better person.
