We all had times in life when we lost our hope and could not find any purpose in life . In these cases , we think that we can ’ t deal with those problems and our life won ’ t be great again . However , if we take a look around us , we can understand that there are so many reasons to enjoy life . Sometimes we get bad grades in exams , sometimes our friendships do not turn out the way we want but even in our worst times there are things that can make our lives more livable . There is no need to look far for these . A baby who is taking its first steps , a person suffering from vision problems undergoing surgery and seeing her family for the first time or our mother who never leaves us alone when we are sick , no matter how tired she is are actually sources of inspiration . Inspiration is not something that only writers or poets need . Contrary to popular belief , inspiration is found in every person , but we must know how to use it . What if Isaac Newton had not paid any attention to the apple falling on his head or if our Turkish national volleyball team had given up when they fell behind in scores ? The successes we have achieved throughout our lives and the level we have reached in human history have been achieved through the thing called inspiration . Inspiration brings curiosity , curiosity brings research and research brings success . We must not forget that inspiration is always there , and we should use it in the correct way while we have the opportunity .
