Problem

Every great leader-Christ, Confucius, Buddha, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela-inspired his or her followers. The very word "inspiration" has to do with air and life. It comes from the Latin word inspirare, to breathe. To inspire is to infuse with an encouraging or exalting influence; to animate. Inspiration is stimulation by divinity, a genius, an idea, or a passion, a divine influence upon human beings; inspiration is the breath of life.

From where do you draw your inspiration? Find a piece of writing from a religious tradition, a philosophical tradition, or perhaps a person or leader you admire. Choose one paragraph from this source and share it with the class. First, you'll read the text to us, and then you'll briefly explains what it means to you. Perhaps you encountered it a time when you needed to hear the lesson it imparted, or perhaps the sheer beauty of the words touched you. Explain your connection to your chosen text.
