Does anyone here, other than me, have any celebrities that inspire them? You know, actors inspiring you to act, singers inspiring you to sing, Barack Obama inspiring you to try and help make change, even if you are a colour other than the ones that are believed to do so. Discuss.
To me personally, there is not one celebrity that really inspires me to do anything or be anybody. I'm sure there are people who believe that there is one person i.e. a player on a sports team or a singer that either encourages them to work hard/ never give up. But I hear that all the time "try your best". I don't really need a celebrity telling me to "reach for my dreams and never give up". People who have money or are in a position of power certainly hold the upper hand when it comes to influence, but I still think that a lot of what they say is redundant. Barack Obama drills the word "change" into people's heads, and Al Gore/ a lot of others say "Go Green". Doesn't really inspire me. There's a lot of hypocrisy out there which can deduct from what we all think they mean. I think the people that really have the most influence are people who aren't in direct positions of power or wealth. Just normal people who do good things, which tells people that this world isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. As for musicians, it's more their lyrics that are inspiring than them telling their fans "You can be anything if you set your mind to it". Especially the artists that write their own songs. ^Sorry for the rambling, no one probably read this. Just answering the question. :3
