Sometimes in life we have people that say or do things that motivate us. Often this can be a coach, a parent, or some other role model. There are times though when this source of motivation comes from someone or something that we didn't expect. In some cases it not only motivates us but also teaches us that our preconceived ideas or thoughts about that someone or something could have been misconstrued and way off base in the first place. Like when a truck gets stuck under an overpass because it's too tall and didn't make the clearing so it's wedged in pretty tight so it can't move on its own power...Tow trucks can't budge it and city engineers are scratching their heads and a little kid comes up and asks, "Why don't you just let the air out of the tires?" and at first nobody even listens to "a kid" but then everyone has that "DUH" moment and all of a sudden there's a new found humility.
Well, as silly as it may sound, the advice I pass along comes from a 1989 movie called UHF. Before Michael Richards was ever known as Kramer, he was an unsuspecting janitor named Stanley Spadowski. In the clip below, he teaches us never to quit and to stand up for yourself.
And if that's not motivational and inspiring, I don't know what is. God bless America!
