the poet Rupi Kaur has inspired me with many of her works but mostly whit a poem of her first book "milk and honey", that said
"“most importantly love
like it's the only thing you know how
at the end of the day all this
means nothing
this page
where you're sitting
your degree
your job
the money
nothing even matters
except love and human connection
who you loved
and how deeply you loved them
how you touched the people around you
and how much you gave them”

Greta Thunberg is a swedish enviromental activist that is facing the climate crisis. She became very famous because, when she was only 15 years old, she started going every friday to the swedish parliament with a sing reading "School strikes for climate".
She has really made an impact on my life, with her activism she inspired me, to try to save the earth. Here I quote a phrase from her speech at the UN climate conference 2019: "We will not let you get away with this, right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up and change is coming whether you like it or not."

Hayao Miyazaki is one of the greatest and well-known animators in Japan. He works for an animation studio called Studio Ghibli, which has created awesome movies such as "My Neighbour Totoro". He is also the director of one of my favourite animation film "Spirited Away".
One peculiarity that I like about his movies is that he designs characters that at first sight might seem evil or courageous, but when you get to know them better, they are so much more than that.
Apart from being a very creative person, he is also extremely wise, and inspires me with his unique way of seeing the world.
Here is one memorable quote of Miyazaki: “You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.”

Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, political leader, and philanthropist who served as President of South Africa from 1994 to 1999. He was the country's first black head of state and the first elected in a fully representative democratic election.
He has inspired me since i was young in many different ways. Nelson showed to the world that nothing was impossible and that we need to fight for the people we care about, in order to finish the injustice in this world. It´s very important we never forget what he did every time we feel we need to fight for the others.

Her thinking is framed in the philosophical current of existentialism and her work "The second sex" (1949) is considered fundamental in the history of feminism.
Here is a memorable quote of Simone: "Only after the women begin to feel at home on this earth do they see a Rosa Luxemburg appear, a Madame Curie. They demostrate that it is not the inferiority of women that determined their insignificance."

Albert Einstein was a well known scientist that has made huge discoveries that have made the scientific industry more aware of the meaning that some unexplainable phenomenons have. But he also was a great speaker, he has inspired and taught a lot of people. One of the most interesting quotes that he has is: "Leading by example is not the main way to influence others; it's the only way", I truly believe that we must be responsible and aware of aour actions because we`re always someone`s example, and even if we weren`t, we need to care about our behaivour.

Kim Namjoon is part of the Korean band BTS. He is the leader and the main rapper of the group. He debuted with the band on June of 2013. I´m honestly inspired by every member of BTS, but I chose to talk about Namjoon because he was the one to deliver one of my favorite speeches. In 2018, he gave a speech at the United Nations Secretary about how we should love ourselves. One of my favorite quote from the speech is "Maybe I made a mistake yesterday, but yesterday’s me is still me. I am who I am today, with all my faults. Tomorrow I might be a tiny bit wiser, and that’s me, too. These faults and mistakes are what I am, making up the brightest stars in the constellation of my life. I have come to love myself for who I was, who I am, and who I hope to become.”

I decided to write about this punctual event but all the member of BTS have been motivating their fans into loving themselves through their music and words for many years now and that is truly admirable and inspiring from them. -Martina Alarcón

Frida Khalo is a person who I really admire. She is known as one of the faces of feminism because of the artworks she painted in the 20^th century. The paintings represented things like abortion, sexuality and maternity. To show people that she didn´t care about feminine stereotypes, she let her body hair grew and she practiced “masculine” sports like boxing and football as a child.
She makes me feel very proud because although what she did was part of feminist movement history, she didn´t need the movement to do it. She was alone and she didn´t need anyone to do what she really wanted.

Lionel Andrés Messi is an Argentinian footbal player who plays as a forward and captains both Spanish club Barcelona and the Argentina National Team too.
It is considered one of the best in history and is currently in the top three of the world.
Although he is having an incredible present, footballingly speaking, at the age ten while he was playing for Newell´s Old Boys, he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency that will change his life; His current club, Barcelona, accepted to buy him and pay his treatment but this implied to leave his country, friends and culture among other things.
One of his phrases that inspired me the most is "In football as in watchmaking, talent and elegance mean nothing without rigor and precision" which for me means that it´s not all about apearance but having a good personality to reach your goals and not pretend to be someone else not being yourself.

Jorge Drexler is a Uruguayan singer-songwriter, actor, doctor, musician and composer born in 1964. He began to study music at the age of five, first with the piano and then with the guitar, later he continued with musical language, harmony, composition and vocal technique. In 1987 he won the first prize in the literary contest of the University of the Republic of Uruguay for the best short story, as well as a mention in the poetry genre. Two years later he would start making songs, always as a soloist.

He is a person who really inspires me since he is one of the few who with his poetry gives me a peace that I never found anywhere else. When I’m sad I listen to Drexler and all the sad things, I'm not saying they turn into happy, but it makes them a little less sad. Also, he doesn’t need to be world famous to be who he is and to make the music that makes, to me that is phenomenal.

When I grew up I would like to continue making music, and to be able to offer peace with my compositions is one of my dreams. Therefore, Jorge Drexler, in addition to being a person who inspires me, is also an example to follow.

Seemed a harmless little fuck

Gnashed his teeth and bit the recess lady's breast

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (October 1869 – January 1948) was an Indian lawyer, anti-colonial nationalist, and political ethicist, who employed nonviolent resistance to lead the successful campaign for India's independence from British Rule, he also inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world.
He has insipired me in many ways. He thought me that to achieve something you have to fight until the end, even if it's the last thing you do, you have to sacrifice time and soul in order to achieve your goals.
The most important thing is that he was able to liberate his country and many others in a non-violent way.

Galo Blasco, also known as "Pimpeano" is a very famous Argentinean Streamer. That means he live streams whle he talks to people or plays games. He inspires me because he was just a teenager with not a lot of money an only his computer who just started playing games and peolple started watching him because he was really funny. So with only his computer and his charisma he became famous. I consider him a speaker because sometimes, all he does is speak in front of the camera by himself and makes people laugh. One time he won an award an said, refering to his followers: "You didn´t change my life, you saved it"
