What inspires your child - does visual inspiration work?

Ok, so its a big bad and wonderful world out there, but what really inspires your child? food? money? sports ?

Is to have a goal, regardless of what it may be is the key to success, be driven be focused and make the most of your years? and can visual repetition help with this?

I'm not saying become a national super star, simply have a goal, a light at the end of the almightly tunnel. 

Now we all know that visuals/photographs in particular connect with the soul and tick the memory box better than anything else, we can blurb and blog on until we are blue in the face, the simple fact is that an image has the power to IMPRINT INSPIRATION!

Think back to your posters and prints, laying in YOUR world (or pig-sty as mum may have called it) and recall who made you THINK, TICK and CLOCK your thoughts and fantasties of a bright future. 

Now, mine was Anna Kournikova smashing the net, yes ok,  because I wanted to look like this russian american beauty , but mainly because she had achieved her goals through hard work and perserivance, this image on my wall was a constant reminder that I could achieve something if I really wanted to. 

What are you thoughts of the effectiveness of visual inspiration?? could it help the children of tommorrow reach new heights or is it just a poster, simply that, simply does.
