As humans we
find inspirations from a lot of different sources, and since I’m both hugely
into sports and eSports some personalities usually ends up having a larger
impact on you then others, I never really seen anyone as being a role model or
someone to inspire to “become” but rather tend to look towards different ideas,
methodology and ways to think about stuff for inspiration, one of these people
are Sean Day]9] Plott.
Sean does a
lot of different stuff in regards to esports, daily shows teaching people about
startcraft, how to train and become better, he does a lot of casting of professional
games, Launched large scale tournaments for competitive players, and companies,
he worked with large partners like Redbull, Blizzard etc. quite significant feats.
There are a few specific key aspects that i find inspiring
Work ethic, One thing you hear from a lot of people is that you don't need to be the most talented, or the best at something, to become the most successful, instead be the one with the best work ethic, Work harder then anyone to achieve your goal. be tenacious and keep at it even the days where you don't feel like it., and he leads by example, at the time of writing he have done 692 Daily Starcraft shows with a length of more then 1 Hour each, plus a tone of other shows tournaments etc.
Learn by doing: Some times life is just easier if you just do stuff, and afterwards evaluate on your mistakes and try to fix them, and then go at trying it again, for me personally i suffer a lot from being very self conscious about doing stuff Where i have no experience or knowledge, and feel like in order to allow my self to do something i need to know what i'm doing, Day[9] Does takes a bit of a different aproach, taking on a challenge he haven't done before because it sounds fun, and when he decides he wants to do it, he just does it, regardless of prior experiences, and instead of looking for obstetrical that prevents him from doing it he finds challenges to conquer and with his work ethic just push though it.
Being relentlessly positive: Sean actually did a Short Video / Podcast on this topic, which i found inspiring, although for me personally extremely hard to follow the video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCqwwTfXr1Q
Indulge in your own Nerd'iness: One of the things that sparked my interest in Day[9] was how he portrayed himself as being a huge nerd, and making it look cool, but the fact remains he wasn't cooler then many other nerds out there, but instead of trying to play it down, he indulged / embraced in it
There are likely alot of other things that are worth mentioning but in order to not make this wall of text too huge ill end it here :-)
