What Inspires?

Its been one of the common debates of us guys, what is that "inspires" us to do something better? A lot of things do come up when you talk on such matters. With the same company crowd, its generally company bashing. With the same industry crowd is generally industry bashing and with same country crowd its country bashing.

What comes to my mind as the single most important factor which inspires is - knowledge. Anywhere you see a steep climb of knowledge you get a kick to do something in that field. It is sans boundaries and hence its not about which field you have the knowledge but someone having loads of it surely inspires you. Obviously interest is a big factor in that. I mean the knowledge which is inspiring you, should be in an interest area.

So when the gap between you and another one with the interesting knowledge, that you felt you were quite competent at, is yawning, then you are on your toes to get to that new mark which is shown possible to you.

To draw from Shakespeare's line: "I'd love to have fat men around me", to grow steeper than self motivation, have knowledgeable men around you.
