Those who know me personally will tell you that I am not a very upfront person as far as sharing my feelings are concerned. I am really comfortable in talking about every possible thing on this earth but not my feelings. So, to write a post where I have to put my heart out is a bit difficult for me.
There was period in my life when nothing was working for me. I have left a top IT company job to pursue my own dreams of being an entrepreneur. The venture which I started with my friends saw a really bad phase and my friends gave up on that idea. It was a tragedy.
In that bad phase, I also met with an accident and I could hardly move out of my bad for few months. That time I was totally shattered. The only thing that I had was that my mother still stood by my side and trusted me. She believed that I would get out of this miserable phase and will bring my life on track again. In that situation when I lost faith in my myself, my mother was the only one who had faith in me and that faith was the only thing that got me going.
Today, with her blessing, I have everything that I require and still see that trust in her eyes that I could do better and even today that is what keeps me going every single day.
I remember that in my childhood she always used to tell me not to give me and always believe in your dreams. She made me confident and believe that everything which we aspire to achieve, can be achieved. If other people can achieve it then you can achieve it too.
My mother has been the pillar of my life, my backbone. She gave up lots of things in her life, just to provide me a good life. She sacrificed even her basic needs and requirements so that I get what I want.
I feel she is the person who is actually #madeofgreat. I feel what drives her from within is her soul. She has such a pure heart. She always have a positive outlook and wishes good for people. She is a epitome of love and sacrifice.

This post tugged at the strings of emotion, Gaurab. Well penned.
ReplyDeleteAs 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. :)

These are not mere words but a part of our soul. Not just the ones that we carry around in our individual bodies but that supreme soul that binds us all together in this universe. That is why we teach our children values and morals so that these little pockets of our souls do not die away. But when we look around at our modern day lifestyle and society,it leaves a lot to be desired, right? Wrong :) I would say,as long as we have even 1 shred of humanity left,there is a ray of sunshine and that is what we see here.
I am inspired by your story just as I am inspired by the stories of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi. As I said above about humanity and ray of sunshine, it is very few icons left in this world who make me feel that way. Both Tata and Messi definitely make it to this short list.
When we talk about Tata Motors,we talk about the pride that every Indian feels because this is our truly global brand, a brand with a soul, with every product made to help us fly. This is a corporate behemoth that has not amassed its fortunes at the cost of the little man but by being a part of the very grassroots. The legacy of excellence and giving back to the society selflessly is so ingrained in Tata DNA that it has become part of folklore. Even today,in any Indian home, the moment a son/daughter gains employment in a Tata company, nobody talks about salary or CTC, they just thank their lucky stars that they are a part of Tata family. The very soul of India resides in Tata. Tata Motors has taken these very same values global, making Indians proud of what they represent. 'Look,we represent excellence, with a dollop of old world values, with love and respect' !
When we look at Messi, we see a boy with dreams in his eyes and a man who has put everything he had in making them come true, and he did! With singleminded focus,dedication and hardwork, he has managed to outdo every obstacle he faced since his birth personally, healthwise and family financial situation wise. Every obstacle became just another step for him to grow and reach up the sky. And still, every time he walks out on the field, he plays with the same agility, alarcity and a a hunger to prove himself as if it is his first game! He hasn't achieved his demi-God status without superhuman efforts.
When these two demi-Gods of their respective fields come together, there are bound to be fireworks and that is exactly what it is! Purely from a corporate point of view, there are rare instances when we see such a perfect fit form. It can be called a divine sign that a symbol of vibrancy and dynamism like no other has taken shape with the partnership of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi. More than a mere advertising gambit,it is an amalgamation of those perhaps 'lost' values that the world needs more of,now more than ever. Maybe the Gods are finally happy!

When it comes to impact and impacting millions of lives, Yes, we can see both Tata Motors and Lionel Messi being the pioneers here. While the very name Tata is enough to make us go back to all our history books where we have seen there hardly is a comparable name that has contributed so much to the society in such an ethical manner, the very name Messi conjures up images of a boy-man who has turned the world upside down with his talent, determination, discipline and never-give-up spirit. The compatibility between the values they both share is intense and that is the reason this partnership works perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWith a concern for the society at large,everything that Tata has done has inspired us to dream big, conquer the world and pour all our energy back into the society to do good and inspire good. By facing his demons, Messi has done the same. He enjoys a God-like status in the world today because he dared to dream, achieved the sky and still hasn't lost his humanity a bit. He is still a child at heart and he gives back with his multiple philanthropic activities just like Tata does!
Talk to any person in India, ask them about the companies they admire the most. Tata is right there at the top. This name is beyond bottomline, spreadsheets, return on investment and share price. It is equivalent to soul of India-soft, kind, diverse, dynamic, eternal. Just like that Messi has emerged as not just another football player but someone whose very life is an inspiration, whose personal struggles are a template for others to emulate and who has morphed into an eternal legend.
While it would take eons to write about what makes Tata Motors and Messi great, as their list of achievements is too long for us to even skim over, suffice to say that this partnership is for the ages. As they say, some things are made in heaven :)
Thank you for this opportunity.

Well, Mothers are truly #madeofgreat, Gaurab. Whatever little greatness we have inside us, its all because of our loving and caring mothers. :)
ReplyDelete‘What drives us from within is what makes us great’, This is the founding principle behind the overall brand association between Argentinian Football Maestro Lionel Messi and Automobile Giant Tata Motors. The overall #madeofgreat campaign is made upon a clear cut vision of seeking excellence along with self-belief.
Tata Motors and Lionel Messi, both are the ones people look up to get inspired. Lionel Messi is an amazingly renowned player with huge fan following across the world While Tata Motors is an Indian company which has achieved global distinction in past decades and appeals as a company with immense potential. Tata Motors stands at a path defining phase of its evolution story with some overwhelming produts planned in future. Lionel Messi with a global appeal complements Tata Motors.
Thus the association is truly #madeofgreat. Legend and Talent have come together to make a truly fantastic combination. The collaboration will be a win-win for both.

Mothers are truly made of something great. Almost God like. A very well written post.
ReplyDeleteAs for the answer to your question I think that Tata motors couldn't have chosen a better global brand ambassador. Lionnel Messi is the epitome of hard work, dedication, self belief and perfection which comes as an outcome of hard work and dedication. Tata Motors is a company which personifies these very qualities. The company and its ambassador both are dreamers who have showed us that if we believe in our dreams there is nothing that remains impossible.
This association of two stalwarts coming together is truly something great.

Mothers are indeed #madeofgreat. From the very beginning she makes so so so many sacrifices for her kids and her family. Mother is the greatest gift of God to the universe. A mother is the greatest teacher, a teacher of compassion, love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower, then a mother is that sweet flower of love. A mother's arms are made of tenderness and children sleep soundly in them.
ReplyDeleteAll the best for the competition.
Here is my entry:- https://confusedmango.wordpress.com/2015/11/13/142/
TATA MOTORS & LIONEL MESSI are two perfect examples of greatness.
Tata is a brand known for honesty, commitment and perseverance. They have been a part of so many charitable trust. Lionel Messi on the other hand is an exceptionally great player with his natural technique and creative skills. Facing all the hardships on their journey, both of them has emerged to a great success. The association of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi as their Brand Ambassador will definitely give an edge to the Tata group over its competitors. Also TATA will find it easier to connect with the youth as the company is focusing on more youth-centric products globally.
They are two sides of one coin. Perfect combination for a great success.
