A wise man said, if you fail to inspire yourself, you will soon expire. There are no successful self-made men or women as many are made to believe. Everyone that has attained any extra-ordinary feat gets some spark - light, insight, motivation, wise sayings, encouragement from someone or somewhere at one time or the other, that eventually contributed to a major or definite turnaround. Isaac Newton said, "If I am able to see afar, it is simply because I stood on the shoulders of giants" . Motivation and inspiration doesn't come naturally to people and that is why Zig Ziglar rightly asserts, "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily." You must see yourself in a constant state of being inspired and motivated to be able to navigate the vicissitudes of life. In the words of Marian Wright Edelman, "You can't be what you can't see." The book, In the Company of the Greats highlights over one hundred quotes from more than 50 highly influential and inspiring individuals ranging from artist, politician, athletes, clergy, entrepreneurs, revolutionists, educators, inventors to mention a few, whose lives and contributions have transformed our world.
