- DON'T MISS: The 'women I admire' series on Rediff!
I admire my mother as a woman who has utmost will power; she is unmatchable.
She has the will power to stand like a rock -- whatever circumstances be -- with a sturdiest belief to win.
She has the power to overcome emotions, the power and belief to achieve what she truly desires.
She is an idol of perseverance, self-dependence, punctuality, courage, dignity and self-belief.
She has always been an inspiration for me.
Whenever in my life, I have faced challenges, I look at her life and inspire myself to win irrespective of the situation I am in.
Like her, I never let myself down.
Some of these qualities I have inherited from her are the reasons behind whatever success I have achieved in my life.
Dear mother, may the rest of your life also be dignified as you are.
