It’s a well known fact that many of us lie about our weight in order to appear more attractive, so it is refreshing to come across a lady so accepting of her body shape as Kate Winslet. In 2003, when GQ magazine retouched photographs of the curvy actress to make her look slimmer, Kate – who claims to be completely comfortable with her body – publicly spoke out against the airbrushing procedure, claiming that she has “no intention” of looking that thin and that women shouldn’t feel that they need to be thin in order to be sexy.This attitude of hers is what makes her the inspiration for many people especially of women.

She has written a series of globally best-selling books, which have helped to spawn a series of award-winning movies and becoming the world’s first ever author to become a billionaire is pretty inspiring stuff in itself. However, when we take into account J.K. Rowling’s journey to where she is today,it becomes clear what an inspiration she is. In 1993, having separated from her husband, been diagnosed with clinical depression, contemplated suicide ,she was  jobless with a dependent child, Rowling saw herself as a failure. However, the writer found a determination to succeed – to create a better life for herself and her daughter – which spurred her on to finishing her first novel and achieving worldwide fame and success.

In an interview with MTV Britney stated, “I’ve been through a lot… And you  just cope, and that’s what I do.
