Peace, Love and Prosperity

The two people that I am about to talk about are resilience are very inspiring and they always will be. They both are extremely peaceful and they can do anything if they believe it. The first person I am going to talk about is Bob Marley. He is resilient because he was shot and he recovered within a couple days and still spread his message.

Bob Marley was shot one day before his concert while he was on tour. He recovered 3 days later and he continued his tour. He talked all about peace and love. He was a laid back guy and he always fought for what was Just. “Don't gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver or gold.” That was one of Bob Marley’s famous quotes and he is basically saying live above and don’t loose your virtues. Bob Marley inspired our nation through something that we all listen too every day. The radio. His music was broadcasted through the radios and millions of people heard him. They hear his words of love and peace and most of all prosperity. “Herb is the healing of the nation, alcohol is the destruction.” That quote right there is one of the things that bob Marley found worn with our nation. Our nation had a serious alcohol problem as well as many other problems and Bob Marley was one of the few that actually tried to help. There are also less famous civilians that tried to help by just believing in the right things and making their fare share of contributing.

One of those people was my grandfather. He was a man of peace of prosperity and he always told me “ if you don’t do something, nothing will happen.” What that meant to me is that if you don’t act or contribute the world will be helpless. He also said, “ if you don’t care then you have no heart.” To me that is so true because an average person drives a car at least a couple times a day and they are forgetting about what that is doing to our world. They are leaving a small carbon footprint but since almost everyone else is leaving a small carbon footprint they all add up. My grandfather has gone through rough patches and smooth patches but whatever the situation is he has always learned something and has gained knowledge from whatever has happened. He is kind of old but he is extremely wise and he sees what everyone else doesn’t see. He sees our problems and he tried to do something about it, just like a famous singer named Bob Marley.

Both of the men that I have been talking about have changed my life either in a small way or maybe a big way but the important thing is that they both believe in peace and love. They both definitely have a great soul and amazing hearts. You can learn a lot of inspiring things from these men and as I continue to study them I will see better and better things each day. Just don’t forget that these men may have affected your life and you may just take it for granted.
