What inspires you?

Sir Ken Robinson tells us what inspires him:

Who made you the person you are today? As Sir Ken says, it is important we recognise our own talents and see the role that other people play in helping us discover them.

This got me thinking about the people that inspire me. Happy people inspire me - just yesterday a lady walked past me in the street singing...My mum is the happiest person I know, she is bundle of energy with a smile that never fades.  I am the person I am today because she taught me how to be confident being myself. When I was little my mum taught me about communication; how to stand up tall and tell my story. This has inspired me to be where I am today. Who inspires you?
