Inspiration

While working on my dissertation, a friend and fellow graduate student from my undergraduate university sent me an out-take from a greek tv talk show. The show was about the (notorious) $100 laptop (a.k.a. one laptop per child). The main talker of the show was our professor books have been awarded with software productivity awards, in spite of him being a big contributor to the open source community, it was his appearance on TV and him being referred as a "guru" on the subject in front of million Greek TV viewers that made me appreciate his contribution to the computing community even more. Maybe the reason underlying is the TV-centric model that my generation has grown up with. Maybe the reason was him being advertised on TV for his contribution. Whatever the reason, the outcome is one: Be inspired. Love what you do. Be passionate with what you do and good things will come.
