Although films are essentially a form of entertainment, certain movies also play an important role in inspiring and motivating us. Inspiration is a process that helps us gain interest in a famous personality who inspires us to be like him, while motivation encourages us to go for our aim.
I recently learnt the lesson when I saw the popular Hindi movie Bhaag Milkha Bhaag with my classmates. The movie was not only inspiring but it also left a mark on us.
Milkha Singh, India’s marathon runner popularly called Flying Sikh, had a very terrible past. His family was killed under his own eyes, but he tried to forget everything and live a new life as a hero. He took his past in his stride and emerged as a winner.
Many of us felt like crying at his story.
But I also realised that we should forget the difficulties faced in the past and go forward to climb the steps to the sky and grab success. Sometimes we may not succeed in our aim but we should not lose hope. We must keep motivating ourselves as motivation will never let us lose hope.
While watching the movie, I also learnt that pain is temporary and it will be over in a few moments or days. But if you withdraw yourself from a difficult situation, you may not get the chance again. It is aptly quoted, “Sometimes you wake up. Sometimes the fall kills you. And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.”
I have decided to become a great inspiration for the future generation just like Milkha Singh.
