Inspiration is a matter of understanding , what you want to understand , Seeking out what the mind seeks , finding the one that satisfies your sense of satisfaction , and more often then not , it is the simple truths of life that are the hardest to grasp and imbibe in , but as is said , advise is always available , so is solicitation but inspiration has to be sought after .
I found some words of comfort and energy in the words of Christopher Nolan , who in his epic Batman Trilogy , spelled out and brought out the character of Batman so well that he is no more a comic hero but a source of strength when the chips are down, a ray of hope when the light fades , for he may be a hero but he is a hero who can be achieved and emulated , coz for all his heroics , he too is Mortal and Human.
The will to do what is necessary , the strength to accomplish what must be done . When someone points a gun at you , will you stand watching or do something , it is the will to save yourself that makes you do something , what ever, may , it be .
2) Actions Matter More Than Intentions .
“It’s not who you are underneath, it’s what you do that defines you.”
Nobody remembers what you meant to do, they only remember what you do.
The famous words , “Actions speak louder than words “ are a testimony to the wisdom of the past and the understanding of the present , What you do will define you in the time to come and the time that went by , your intentions would only be “your “ intentions unless you act on them .
3) You Need To Risk Failure In Order To Succeed .
“You do not fear death. You think this makes you strong. It makes you weak … How can you move faster than possible, fight longer than possible without the most powerful impulse of the spirit: the fear of death?” [ This is a quote from The Dark Knight Rises ]
To Stand a baby must fall in his days of learning , to fly high the Eagle must learn to take off from a ridge.
The element of risk is what sharpens us , steels our resolve , fortifies our will .
In adversity is the secret to success , only in failure do great men find victory , every fall is a rising step to success . Only if you have the will to rise again – Rise , Rise , Rise Again …
5) “Theatricality and Deception are powerful weapons , you must become more than just a man in the mind of your opponent “
The ability to understand your enemy , or for that matter your adversary , your challenge , the obstacle to your way up counts as an important ability and skill in your armory of weapons in your battle for success , you must always know what when and how about what you’re up against , Never let your target get the better of you .
“you must be more than a man in the mind of your opponent”
6) Organizations and Success Need To Be Built Around Ideas, Not People .
“People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can’t do that as Bruce Wayne. As a man I’m flesh and blood. I can be ignored. I can be destroyed. But as a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.”
To inspire people , inspire with yourself but with an idea , an idea that is insurmountable , it is always said , an idea whose time has come is unstoppable , be that unstoppable force let that idea take seed in form of inspiration , because you me and everyone is and will be gone one day or another , but your idea will never be . “As a symbol, as a symbol I can be incorruptible, I can be everlasting.”
When I Go through these Words , these sentences that are so much more than mere words , I don’t see why I can’t do a thing that I set my mind at .
It is in the minds of great men that victories were forged first , it in the will of men that insurmountable challenges were tacked upon . If you want you will .
Steve Jobs learned to pick himself back up. So did Bruce Wayne, and So can We.
For those of you who would want a read better and farther into how Nolan inspired people by his batman character , do read the article from Forbes.
Ideate to lead; Keeping the hope alive no matter what ; Knowing the fear you are fighting against; and picking up the pieces even when you are crashed and burnt…are depicted in the sagas of Nolan, in an outstanding manner.Your interpretation and views.. and the zeal to achieve success you found from it, is an impressive read. Keep it up buddy.

Well Kam , who else than you to speak on a movie and on a directors line of thought , true to what you've said .. the movies are always about the fight and battle in the mind. About winning and overcoming our own very fears .. I'm a huge fan of Nolan , adore his movies! Thanks a read and your insight on it !
