For me he is a VIP(Very Inspiring Person) - #madeofgreat..

We meet a lot of people in our course of life and are influenced by them in various ways.
Some teach us how to love, while some teach us how to make others happy.
Some people help us to hone our skills, while some make us laugh.
There are those who makes us brave and impart courage, while there are those who inspires us to never give up and keep trying hard for our goal.
Few from the lot portray how to live life without giving a damn to anything, while there are those who teach us how to be responsible.

Among all these there is that one person whose life inspires us to become like him/her.




In my case that person is a guy.
He has suffered lot of pain but there is always a smile on his face.
He has seen worst of worst times when this family had to struggle for 2 times meal, but he is never behind to offer a meal to a poor child.
Dancing, singing or modeling, you make him do anything and he will surprise you with his talent and dedication.
He is a kind soul who is trustworthy and whole heartedly dedicated to his near and dear ones.

One of my best friends is the replica of the person I had described above.
His dream was to get into an IIT but due of his family financial condition he choose to take a break from studies, kept aside his personal dreams and took tuitions to support his family.
For 3 continuous years he was selflessly devoted towards his family.

Finally when things were fine, he got into a reputed college, though not an IIT but a decent one.
Because of his 3 years gap, he had to miss out on job opportunities in big MNCs but he never gave up.

He kept on trying and eventually got into a reputed firm, though not a biggie but nothing less.
Luck favors the brave, his hard work and dedication was appreciated by the senior management which helped him grab right opportunities at right time.

Today he is well settled, successful software engineer, soon getting married to the love of his life and a person whom everyone is proud of.

He is my friend from last 8 years and I am very thankful to god for that.
Whenever he is around you will always feel motivated and energized.
Even if it is a dance step, he will rehearse it till the time he does it perfectly.
He is an honest critic and will never appreciate your work till you have given your best in it.

I am very grateful to him for seeding the never give attitude in me.
It is because of his sheer hard work and dedication, that a lazy lad like me also got motivated to give something a next try.

He has the same time as us but his will power is way higher than most of the people I know.

Once a person has more grass at his end he thinks others as inferior but this guy was completely different. He is a modest, down to the earth person who always shares his success mantra with others.

I remember those college days when I used to get depressed on heartbreak or some other issues.
He was the only person who used to not mock around but make me realize my real worth.
He used to share his valuable experience and reveal those secret tips which life made him learn at such a young age.

Today also when I meet him there is always a new thing to learn.
These days he is into photography and I can bet you that you will definitely want to become his next subject.

There is nothing like he is god gifted or has something supernatural but it is his sheer will, never give up attitude, a desire to learn something new every time and his hard work and devotion to make himself a perfectionist in it, that drives him to reach new heights and also inspire people around him.

Whenever I am depressed, heartbroken, messed up or on the verge of giving up, I remember this person, his struggles and eventually I get the much needed kick from within to give my best.

For me he is undeniably #madeofgreat

  1. A great writeup Ankit. This reminds me of a famous poem, " Success is counted sweetest to one who never succeeds". and it stands apt on your friend.
    Now Tata motors is a name which every Indian can associate with and it has made its place in the competitive automobile industry with its hard work and dedication. They have proved that when there is a will there is a way, and their will power has brought them to the position they are in now.
    Same goes with Lionel Messi, he has his shares of struggles too, and surpassing all those he made his place in the sports and is stealing millions of hearts.
    And when Two legends collaborate, history happens, and the history has begun with two most popular brands joining hands and stealing the show.

  4. Kudos to you and your friend.
    It is very hard to take a break from studies and resuming it and then go on to do something great in life.
    There are individuals who say they cannot study because of the break they took from studies but kudos to your friend. The story is really inspiring indeed and very well written.
    Now for the answer to your question.
    Tata and Messi are both great names in their respective field. I feel real proud that an Indian company is associated with a football great. I have always liked Tata as a brand because of their honesty and because of their excellence. I can without any doubt say that Tata is the best business house in the country and really great.

    In regard of association of Tata Motors and Messi ,
    Tata Motors has earned the goodwill from giving the best and innovative Automobiles and it is also known as one the best Automobile Manufactures. And if you see the Lionel Messi , his throughout dedication, zeal , targeted goal of life and technically soundness make him big, achiever and remarkable position in the world.
    As per me, the association of Tata Motors and Messi is a grand amalgamation of two legendary entities of the world, and their amalgamation will definitely break down the clutters and affect the cut throat competition of Tata Motors. Tata motors will sure get a huge preference by the fans of Messi. This will sure make a record of Tata motors in the world of production or may be the highest selling automobiles.
    Tata motor’s main target is to give an impression on the large amount of crowd and this can be achieved only through the Messi, because the youth generation is crazy for MESSI and this can be smart move and a great achievement for Tata Motors they positioned MESSI as their BRAND AMBASSADOR .
    In the nutshell, Tata Motors , Messi joining hands will definitely give more soundness in technicality of promotional strategies and Messi’s influence will influence the audience for choosing Tata Motors and expand the business drastically.

  7. Tata Motors' association with Lionel Messi spells a significantly notable alliance that will steer the company towards favourable benefits. I always acknowledge Tata Motors as a distinctive name in Auto industry, which will not let the success 'larger-than life' elude from its fate now with a timeless guild with iconic figure Messi. I don't see this union of Tata Motors as an aspirational effort for garnering some quick publicity and evoke specific reaction from myriad crowd with Celeb branding, but is rightly an embellished handshake for keeping up the pace to get to the pinnacle of success graph. To sum things up, I am joyous to see the brand and the star uniting for 'One in a Million' #madeofgreat power-packed drive ahead :)

    My answer is:
    Authenticity, reliability, simplicity, as well as its commitment to innovation are the pillars of strength on which TATA have built a brand that has put India on the global map. It is a brand that has stood the test of time just like Lionel Messi who tackles opposition on the field with his skill,agility,strategy,brilliance and raw power to reach and score a goal so has been the track record of TATA motors who has become a brand leader and a global giant.

    Here is my answer.
    Like minds think and act alike looking at the track record of TATA Motors it has stood the test of time and built a business that was built using bricks of hard work on a foundation of trust. Authenticity, reliability, simplicity, as well as its commitment to innovation are the trademarks of brand TATA Motors.

Thus these two greats Lionel Messi and TATA Motors are made for each other .There association is a bond of two legends

  11. This was a beautiful write-up, thanks for sharing :)

    When it comes to impact and impacting millions of lives, Yes, we can see both Tata Motors and Lionel Messi being the pioneers here. While the very name Tata is enough to make us go back to all our history books where we have seen there hardly is a comparable name that has contributed so much to the society in such an ethical manner, the very name Messi conjures up images of a boy-man who has turned the world upside down with his talent, determination, discipline and never-give-up spirit. The compatibility between the values they both share is intense and that is the reason this partnership works perfectly.

    With a concern for the society at large,everything that Tata has done has inspired us to dream big, conquer the world and pour all our energy back into the society to do good and inspire good. By facing his demons, Messi has done the same. He enjoys a God-like status in the world today because he dared to dream, achieved the sky and still hasn't lost his humanity a bit. He is still a child at heart and he gives back with his multiple philanthropic activities just like Tata does!

    Talk to any person in India, ask them about the companies they admire the most. Tata is right there at the top. This name is beyond bottomline, spreadsheets, return on investment and share price. It is equivalent to soul of India-soft, kind, diverse, dynamic, eternal. Just like that Messi has emerged as not just another football player but someone whose very life is an inspiration, whose personal struggles are a template for others to emulate and who has morphed into an eternal legend.

    While it would take eons to write about what makes Tata Motors and Messi great, as their list of achievements is too long for us to even skim over, suffice to say that this partnership is for the ages. As they say, some things are made in heaven :)

    Thank you for this opportunity.
