The late Heath Ledger who got noticed in 1999 with the hit teen movie 'Ten things I hate about you' had it tough as he received movie offers which he felt will not advance his career and he refused them at a time when he was short of cash and apparently survived on instant noodles to sustain himself when he ran out of cash. He felt strongly that the roles he chooses now for the monetary gain will be doomsday and his patience eventually paid off when he received good movie roles like Brokeback mountain and Dark Knight.

The late Tupac Amaru Shakur strongly believed in himself and his ideals and refused to compromise on them so much so that I would say he died at a young age due to his unwillingness to compromise on his beliefs. There's a beautiful quote in one of my favourite 'Only God can Judge Me' song by Tupac which sums up his entire life which is 'I rather die like a man than live like a coward' He stayed true to this quote by living life on the edge and never held back his words and I truly respected him for staying true to his ideals.

These two men are some of the people whom I hold in high regard as they believed in something and never let go of them even when their ideals or beliefs were against their advancement but if they did not believe in themselves, I don't think they will have risen to such a great level.

Many people have doubted me. Many people have cast their reservations about the decision. Some people may be skeptical. Some people may not be down with my decision but all I can say is that I believe that the decision that I have undertaken was made with the strongest intention and I will stick to it through thick and thin. I have never felt strongly about an issue and this is the first issue that I have such strong feelings. I know that this decision is going to impact my life in one way or another but if the Godfather did not make the decision to enter into Mafia, I don't think he will have become the Godfather and realised his potential. I believe in what I'm doing and do not give a fuck about what people might say because they have to first respect my decision before I can bring myself to hear them out. As Tupac said, I rather die like a man than live like a coward.
