Three People I Look Up to

Someone in my life that inspires me is my elder cousin, who has a very strong social skill, which I admire. My elder cousin studied university in Guangzhou. While she was still in the university, she was a famous student. Her friends even said that “You have might not heard of a professor in a institute, but you have definitely heard of her.” And that’s true because my elder cousin was the leader of several students’ organization, and the originator of a student movement. Besides, she can also make new friends in just ten minutes. When my elder cousin finished her study in Guangzhou, she wanted to study in an academic program in Hongkong. Unfortunately, her English was not very good, which was a disadvantage of her application for the further study in Hongkong. However, she happened to know that the person in charge of this academic program came from Guangzhou, who can only spoke Cantonese and English. And because my cousin had lived in Guangzhou for four years, she could speak Cantonese fluently and knew the hometown of the person in charge very well, thus she got the chance to study in Hongkong.

Someone living and famous that inspires me is Tom Ford, who is a successful fashion designer and a good film designer as well and I admire his diverse talents. He is not a best fashion designer and is not even as good as Marc Jacobs. However, he is still a successful fashion designer and an invisible CEO of Gucci as well. His talent of design and skill of operating company pulled back Gucci from the edge of bankruptcy. Besides, his first film “A single man” is also a reason why I admire him. This film, which has won several prized worldwide, also reflected the elegant taste of music, clothes, and life. I hope I can be as diversely talented as Tom Ford, and live a high quality life just like him.

A great leader or thinker from the past that inspires me is Beethoven, a famous classical music composer and pianist from Germany. He lived a rough life: he was born in a poor family, whose father cared about nothing but alcohol; at age of 8, he was sent on concert tour by his father, who wanted to make him another Mozart; at age of 26, his hearing became more and more weak, and finally became completely deaf at middle age. However, he still composed many famous music pieces, such as The Third Symphony, and The Ninth Symphony, though his hearing was very weak. His perseverance of fighting against destiny inspires me.
