Lionel Messi, My inspiration

            Lionel Messi is a professional football player from Barcelona club. His life and his struggle inspires me so much. He is a talented football player. He started his career when he was 16. His ex-coach trusted him that he could be a great young football player. He won many times of football match. He has a big spirit to be a successful football player.

            The thing from Lionel Messi that make me amaze of him is not only about his ability in football. He has a physical weakness, but he chose not to give up and stop to chase his dream. His physic does not support him to be a football player. He suffered a growth human deficiency. It makes his body become short. Although I never suffer any serious disease, I can see that nobody wants to be sick. Everybody wants to be healthy. I feel it too.

            Besides all his physical weakness, he has some strength that make me admire him. He has a fighting spirit. He never gives up to chase his dream. He keeps doing the exercise. He does it extraordinarily.  His persistent of doing exercise make him become a famous football player. Now I realize, if I want to be an extraordinary person, I have to give an extra effort.  Although he is famous, he is still kind and helpful. He established Leo Messi Foundation, a charity supporting access to education health and care for vulnerable children. He helps many people. He is a humble man. His popularity doesn’t make him to be arrogant. He teaches me that popularity is transitory and it is just God’s gift. So there is no use to brag.

            I learn many things from him. He teaches me a lot of things. He never stops to chase his dream although he found many obstacle. He teaches to do the best as I can and never give up to chase my dream. He can be so successful because he always do his best and even give an extra effort. Messi’s struggle reminds me a motto “no pain no gain”. He gets his success because he has paid it with an extra effort.
