Category: Inspiring People

The characteristics that define an Inspirational person upon which we have agreed should be as follows: i. Self giving rather than selfish ii. Humility rather than pride. Not a false humility which makes people stay in the background. When their actions, are accomplished with a sense of oneness. iii. Courage to always do the right thing, a wrong is always wrong no matter how you embellish it. iv. Principled, always acting out of principles for good rather than material or financial gain. v. Happiness, an inspirational person makes the world a better place and gives people a positive outlook for the future. vi. Vision, they must have a vision and help turn hope into reality.
