My Father is Made of Great

Greatness is not something what we feel lies within us. Greatness is something that others sense within us. The way they tread their life overcoming all the difficulties, the way they stand out from others and the way the live their lives. That is what makes them great. A person who knows the obstacles yet has the courage to defy the conventions and come out as a winner in life is someone who is made of great.

While we all idolize celebrities, superstars, world class athletes all for the right reasons and they deserve to be revered, we forget those who made us who we are. The one who is made of great is selfless in all his endeavours and tries to make our life better with their greatness. For me, it has always been my father.

Guidance with freedom

Most parents are either too independent of their children or snatch away their freedom and want them to do everything their way. Either way is the wrong way, one needs freedom to make their own choices yet guidance on what those choices would lead to. I have been extremely fortunate to have parents who raised me exactly the way one should, I now realize it how important it is in our upbringing.

We need to be sensible enough to make our own decisions and know that there are people who we can rely on if it doesn’t works out. Our parents are the closest people we have. My father has always given me freedom to do what I desire to yet guide me at the right places and protect me from being hoodwinked into something wrong.

An epitome of success

When you are among people who have achieved a lot in life, you want to become like them. If I ever become a person like my father is, I would be more than happy for it. During my days of growing up, I have seen his hard work and the change in the life he gave us. We were from an extremely modest background and now, we are way more than how we financially were a decade back. All because of his hard work and resilience. One needs grit to support his family and achieve spectacularly in life.

I have known the importance of failures from him, nothing has happened overnight, he is successful because of overcoming and being persistent through all his failures. I am hugely inspired by this and wish to inculcate it in myself.

Unconditional love

I have learnt to love because of my parents. My father has always taught me to love without any conditions, and I can see the testimony of it in the way he loves our family. If we love someone for a reason, we have other motives behind it but when we love without any need for a reason, it is true love. And I have learnt what true love is through him. Being happy in my happiness and supporting in all good what I wish to do, is the sign of his love.

He never demands something in return for it, he says that his family’s happiness is what brings him happiness. And for me, that is what true and unconditional love is.

All that I am and shall ever become I owe it to my parents, they’ve had the most positive impact in my life and that is what shapes me as a human being to lead a good life. My father is truly and undeniably Made of Great for all that he is and makes us to be.

Tata Motors

This post was inspired by Tata Motors, who believe that only someone who is Made of Great can build trust, simplicity and a sheer commitment to innovation. With this, they’ve also associated with Lionel Messi, who in himself is made of great and resonates with the brand Tata Motors.

Would love to hear who in you life you know is #madeofgreat, tweet it with the hashtag to @tatamotors. If you’re on Facebook you could like and share their page Tata Motors. And watch this brand new association of Lionel Messi and Tata Motors on what drives them from within us what makes them great.

  4. The story of a Legend in himself – that’s how I will describe it in a short sentence. Very well written with words which enhance the simplicity yet greatness of the Person. Salutations and very happy for you to have got inspired and bringing out your best in life.

    My answer: Tata is a name which any and every person can rely on for its honesty, commitment and perseverance. Lionel Messi is a legend who has carved his name in history books with total dedication to the game, simple living and improvisation which is seen with each game he plays. The association of Tata Motors and Lionel Messi as their Brand Ambassador will definitely give an edge to the Tata group over its competitors solely because the brand Ambassador also holds the same reputation of not letting his fans down ever, like Tata Motors who have given the best to the world over the decades. Its an exemplary association par excellence.

  5. Dads are truly #madeofgreat and our first heroes. Your post conveys this relationship beautifully!

    As for what I think of the collaboration between Messi and Tata Motors, it is absolutely one of the most awaited partnership in recent times. Lionel Messi and Tata Motors, both are extremely successful and sought after in their respective fields. The coming together of these two supreme brands, if I may call them would be a game-changer. Messi is a youth icon and he is going to be the brand ambassador of an Indian brand for the first time. So kudos to Tata Motors for that! I'm really looking forward to their accomplishments as a team as well as individually.

  10. It's a great blog and truly our fathers are made of great, keep up!

    The best part about the association is that the values of Lionel Messi and that of Tata Motors highly resonate each other. Not everyone can become what Messi today is, and for Tata Motors no other brand ambassador would have justified the core purpose they want to convey through their brand. From a very young age, Messi had made it to the big league fighting all the odds and the same goes for Tata Motors, who have proved their mettle ever since they had been into car making. This is sure to be an association that honours the spirit that Tata Motors stands for.

Both believe in excelling in whatever they do and set examples for others to follow. They compliment each other as both are reliable trustworthy and leaders thus Lionel Messi is the natural choice as the brand ambassador of TATA Motors
