Music as a Source of Inspiration

There are a lot of great stories pertaining to music stars that shows how much successful or how failed their careers have turned out. And the common ground that links both of them comes in the form of the music.

Music has always been called the universal language, not a lot of people know that it is also a common link that bridges any type of gap that exists between each individual. These individuals can appreciate good music no matter what type of language it is based on. It also bridges people regardless of race, color or preference.

Some celebrities that have the typical Cinderella story or the rags-to-riches story are guys like Tupac Shakur, P. Diddy and even newcomer Jason Derulo. Check out and Jason Derulo pictures in the Internet to see how this guy came from the poorest areas and came to be one of the rising stars in the music industry today with hits like “In My Head” and “Whatcha Say”.

There are a lot of success stories even outside the hiphop scene. From country music to other genres of music such as RnB there are a lot of people who have tales to share about personal triumphs, tales about overcoming the odds and stories about making it count and facing down obstacles. These celebrities always find a way for giving back to the have-nots.

Sadly not all people who have been given the opportunity to shine in the spotlight have given back to other people in need. Some of them would most likely spend their millions in lavish hotel rooms or homes or buy cars worth millions with brands such as Porsche or even in bikes like Ducati. Some celebrities who have experienced getting a change in lifestyle have done their best to change and touch the lives of other people either through music or through education.

A lot of celebrities do their share of charity giving discreetly or with the dozens of cameras pointed and flashing while they help and share their good blessings with people who have so little. To people who are new in the business like Jason Derulo charity is a powerful way to give back to society in their own little way.

Aside from charities there are other music stars and movie stars who give more. Just recently one of the Black Eyed Peas member, APL de Ap whose real name is Allan Pineda Lindo returned to his home country, the Philippines in order to fund and officially open the music room that he specifically built for his old alma mater.

This is his own unique way of giving back to the school that he has considered home. Another classic inspirational story comes in the way of NBA Star Gilbert Arenas who often gives back to fathers and sons who he would usually pick from the crowds in order to give them some special things autographed by the NBA star himself. This is his unique way of returning to the people that have less than what he has.
