There are various foreigners whom I know and admire because they contribute a lot to the society. If I have to pick one of them, I will definitely go with Cristiano Ronaldo. The reason is because he started his journey from scratch. I came to know about him because one day I was recording my Instagram and one of his deal of getting an award for best footballer came in my field. Then I searched his name on Google as well as on YouTube. I got to know a lot about his background. He was talking about his qualification. He didn’t even completed his education because he was raised by a single mother. Her dad was died when he was young. The whole responsibility and financial burden was on him. After that he struggled a lot in his field by overcoming all the struggles he became footballer. If I talk about the things that he is doing for the society, he is working in an agency who raised funds for the involved rights to people as well as students who are not able to get full education. Apart from this, he is a renowned footballer. Her work is quite eminent. He is a source of motivation. One line of him always reminds me of what he is. When he said that talent without hard work is nothing. It’s important to polish your talent as well as do some hard work to let the society know who you are and what you are capable of. If I have to become like him, I know I need to work more and need to polish my skills. Apart from this, if I talk about how motivating he is, he has grown up from the scratch and built his name by himself. He didn’t take anybody’s help. He didn’t take anything for granted. He took every opportunity and made his name by his own hard work and by working in factories or working as a cleaner. I have seen a lot of his videos after this. Now he is a motivation for me. Whenever I am about to give up, I just see his video and see his podcast and look at his videos.

There are various foreigners whom I know and admire because they contribute a lot to society. If I have to pick one of them, I will definitely go with Cristiano Ronaldo. The reason is that he started his journey from scratch. I came to know about him because one day I was recording my Instagram, and one of his deals for getting an award for best footballer came into my feed. Then I searched his name on Google as well as on YouTube. I learned a lot about his background. He talked about his qualifications. He didn't even complete his education because he was raised by a single mother. His dad died when he was young. The whole responsibility and financial burden were on him. After that, he struggled a lot in his field, and by overcoming all the challenges, he became a footballer. If I talk about the things he is doing for society, he is working with an agency that raises funds for the rights of people as well as for students who are unable to get a full education. Apart from this, he is a renowned footballer. His work is quite eminent. He is a source of motivation. One line from him always reminds me of what he represents. When he said that talent without hard work is nothing, it's important to polish your talent as well as do some hard work to let society know who you are and what you are capable of. If I want to become like him, I know I need to work harder and polish my skills. Apart from this, if I talk about how motivating he is, he has grown up from scratch and built his name by himself. He didn't take anybody's help. He didn't take anything for granted. He seized every opportunity and made his name through his own hard work, even working in factories or as a cleaner. I have seen a lot of his videos since then. Now he is a motivation for me. Whenever I am about to give up, I just watch his videos and listen to his podcasts.
