Holiness of Character is the key to be #MadeofGreat

Personality analysis is a complex subject to understand. Nopes! I'm not encompassing the professional psychologists who are trained to evaluate our behavioural patterns at varied instances. I am just talking about those unheard names n unknown faces who can challenge us to perform the way to make life become a lush productive experience and can exaggerate one's capabilities to potential growth.

Usually parents and teachers have such great influence on us and they help us have a better grasp on reality of life. Yes, I also do acknowledge whatever I gained under their guidance. But today I am taking time to make a reference to one of my neighbour, Sushila Aunty, who nurtured my immature inferences into wise decisions to act smartly in many ways. Since my early childhood days, my sweet but spineless behaviour always put me down as I had a false sense of imperfection for myself. 

This lady, who had come to stay in adjoining building to my house with her family, became a caring companion in my wholesome actions in very few interactions. Can't decide clearly whether I had something in me to attract her or it was some unapparent aura in her that held us together.
With an intelligent brain, I could go great lengths to live up to someone's expectations. But I never knew that I had that encapsulated courage in me. Sushila aunty led me by example and channelized my potential in the direction to make me understand how I could participate in life's unplanned events. She gave me the courage not to fear from mistakes or feel inferior, rather bounce back quickly with a lesson learnt. Her constant boost helped me believe in myself without feeling sorry on my little mistakes. My confidence definitely rose up, but of course, not to the other side of the scale that leads to destructive over-confidence. Even my family could not ignore noticing a positive change in their timid child. God had been kind to bless me with her company for many years to come...

I still recall the days I was preparing for my MCA entrance and used to have scary nightmares of not getting selected in a college of good repute. It was again aunty's motivational words "Nothing in life to be feared, but conquered" that I still imbibe. She made me realize that I needed not to be an expert in a subject necessarily, but just need to be passionately involved in fulfilling my dreams. I know this has been one of the most cliché advice since eternity, but resulted really miraculous for me. Because I always believed that we all are connected to each other in one or the other ways and one of the most influential way is 'our thoughts'. To me, Sushila Aunty's words seem spoken in harmony with God's wish, so had that hypnosis kind of effect on my conscious thoughts which mysteriously heightening my personality with a positive difference. She actually built a better world for me making me master of my thoughts, without which I could have shattered due to my "I am of no value" thoughts. 

Now, as I've narrated my Aunty's saga with so much of passion, I better acclaim that she is #madeofGreat admirable traits of captivating brilliance.. You would be surprised to know that the lady who changed my perspective for life with her considerate behaviour never had any formal education; but is the most learned and clear-headed person. Just few days back during my visit to my hometown on Diwali, I met her for some time and my lowering spirits soared high once again seeing her in same zeal for life at the age of 75+. She has ultimate art to help people heal and in turn repair their future. Her thoughts articulate so intense deep inside my soul that from a weaker & unrealistic personality, I graduated into a personal with firm will and holiness of thoughts.
She may be an un-noticed face to the world, but is an ideal for me. She deserves my regard no less than any famous personality.

  4. Very well penned, Shilpa. :)
    It was good to know something about your 'Aunty'.

    As for the expression of views towards the question, I would like to answer through a stanza or two of verse:

    ---

    'What drives us from within is what makes us great'
    Belief in oneself, the zeal to put up a brave face,
    In the face of adversity, to stand strong against fate,
    That's how life is - it's an excellent goal to chase!

    To create a name for oneself, from the soil your feet dampen,
    To let critics enhance your effort, not let your spirits dampen,
    It's the journey that counts, more than having scaled the peak,
    To persevere so that it's your actions that have the loudest shriek!

    ---

    To sum up, I feel that this age-old adage rings true whenever I think of this beautiful alliance of an Indian Global Brand - Tata Motors and a Global Argentinian Sportsperson - Lionel Messi

    "Our Similarities bring us to a common ground; Our Differences allow us to be fascinated"

    That realization is truly #madeofgreat. :)

  5. When two big brands merge, it will come out a GRAND AMALGAMATION.

    These two brands act like wheels of a same car, whose motive to get success jointly, to accelerate the popularity of the product jointly, to make a special place in customer’s heart jointly, and to pump up the zeal and craziness among people.
    Here I am talking about TATA Motors and Lionel Messi. Tata Motors , its name is enough to calculate the esteem of this company in the market and on the other hand if you talk about Lionel Messi, the youth is crazy for this super fantastic person, as he is the fantastic and the most energetic player in the world of football sports.

    Let me start the association of Messia and Tata Motors with an example : they both on the board are like the Lord Krishna and Arjuna. The excellence of Arjuna was commendable and when his chariot leaded by Lord Krishna , Arjuna’s success was for sure or you can say its already declared. Same as the Chariot of Tata Motors when droven by Messi , the success is definite and blasting. And this is the main motto of this association to show the world that when the amalgamation of two excellence happen, the world have to head down and the accept that Messi and Tata Motors are omnipotent.

  11. The story of a Legend in herself - that's how I will describe it in a short sentence. Very well written with the pics which enhances the simplicity yet greatness of the lady..Salutations to her and very happy for you to have got inspired and bringing out your best in life.

    My answer: Tata is a name which any and every person can rely on for its honesty, commitment and perseverance. Lionel Messi is a legend who has carved his name in history books with total dedication to the game, simple living and improvisation which is seen with each game he plays. The association of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi as their Brand Ambassador will definitely give an edge to the Tata group over its competitors solely because the brand Ambassador also holds the same reputation of not letting his fans down ever, like Tata Motors who have given the best to the world over the decades. Its an exemplary association par excellence.

  12. Tata motors, the name speaks power, patronage and patriotism to we, the Indians, as this is our very own arena of trust and belief loaded with performance and excellence. When Tata motors got associated with the living legend Lionel Messi, this association has become the merger of Tiitans, the coalition of two power-packed performers.

    • Leo Messi, the football maestro, is the performer par excellence on the football courts while Tata motors is the makers of masterpieces to conquer the roads. This is the one union that is #madeofgreat power and perseverance.
    • While Messi is being counted for his winning stride, Tata Motors is the reason for Indians to feel pride. This is the one alliance that is #madeofgreat quantum and quality.
    • While Leo Messi is the personification of panache, Tata Motors is the portrayal of perfection. This is the one amalgamation that is made of great presentation and practicality.

    So, for The Style Symphony, Tata motor’s association with Lionel Messi is #madeofgreat value that is indeed going to benefit the automotive industry with a new zeal to touch the zenith.

  15. Tata motors being the first Indian brand to associate itself with an international sports icon is truly being envied!. Yes! When two people with identical qualities merge, the brand power increases enormously. Just as expected Tata Motors is tasting it by the reach and vibrations it has created with its association with Lionel Messie.

    With both's determination, dedication and power to conquer in their respective fields- their collaboration is surely a big hit and #madeofgreat indeed

  16. Some people are natural healers. They don't have to do magic to make things better. Just a little note of love and care would be enough. That's what Sushila aunty sounds like. Amidst neighbours in India who constantly wait to pull down each other, I am glad that you happen to meet someone like her. Good wishes for the contest!

    Of course, a football legend, that's what all of us know about Messi. The little known fact about him is that he is also the ambassador for UNICEF for he has worked for the betterment of children across the globe. I feel, the humanity that drives him from within makes him great, greater than the football player in him. His association with Tata Motors marks a touch of humanity in the Indian auto industry. Exactly as how Tata came up with the world's most affordable car, Nano, making several middle class dreams alive.

    Love,

  17. "Nothing in life to be feared, but conquered" - what an inspiring quote. You are indeed lucky to have such an amazing soul aside you. She is awesome. Interesting read Shilpa.

    For the question,
    Passion is a driving force behind both Messi and Tata motors. It energises the former to be a passionate footballer, scoring goals and winning matches for his country and pushes the latter to come up with innovative yet technocratic machines enabling the racers to hit the roads with unexplainable happiness.
