Sebastian Vettel : Impressive


A highly philosophical quote from Sebastian Vettel upon winning Indian Grand Prix, the man impressed me even more with his attitude towards life and how he enjoys what he is doing and what he is best at - "If your life comes to an end it is more the thoughts, the emotions, the friends, the friendships you take with you rather than whatever you have in your bank account." Though his other impressions of India are somewhat debatable (I still feel that they are largely true) - "If you look at where we come from, it's hard to imagine things if you haven't seen them. For us we sometimes measure happiness in our lives, in our world, by what we have achieved, what we have, etc. But for the people here, it doesn't really matter. They're happy with what they have, even if you compare and they have so little, but they are happy, friendly, helpful and respectful. Obviously I haven't spent a lot of time here, but it was very inspiring, with a lot of things making you appreciate more than you probably do. It opens your eyes, it was an inspiration and something you should never forget."
