the person to follow

Last Saturday we had an exam. One of the task was to tell about the person inspiring you. I was thinking and realized that for me such a person is... my father.
Yes my father. And it doesn't matter that we have been talking once in a blue moon since my parents divorced when I was 12. He really does inspire me anyway.
Buddha said - "A true man hates no one." "The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed."
My father has no fear. He does what he does. He keeps telling me that he is like the frog in a heron's throat suffocating it to survive. That means he never gives up.
He was on his own since he was 16 working hard to become what he is now. Nobody tought him how to do things. He just did them . Because he had no fear. And I think that is great.
