Can a Customs Guy Have an Inspiring Story ?

In my life, I have watched good number of movies. I have equally read good number of books too. There are some movies and books that I didn't like. But however there are many books and movies that touched my heart.  They made a lasting difference in my life and hence I liked them more. All of them had an inspiring stories in them. 

For now lets deal with Movies here. For example, a movie called a "Freedom writers diaries" told me a heart warming story. Its about how a lone lady sacrifices everything in her life (even her marriage) for the cause of her destitute and poor students. Find out more about this movie here. Like wise "3 Idiots" is a classic move of its own kind. Read about this movie here. 

I must have probably watched those movies over hundred times already. But still, each time I watched them, I tend to get new meaning and inspiration all over again. In a normal situation, the former is a movie about how a teacher can inspire and latter is a movie that is suppose to inspire teachers!  To me, those movies also tell a lot about profession, career and life. It tells us at length about giving the best and leaving the rest and in the process making a story, unique in its kind. To summarize, they are all nothing but a stories of ordinary people who were little extraordinary than others! 

I do not intend to say that I am an extraordinary person. Not in anyway!  As has been fittingly put up by Erin Gruwell, The Author or Freedom writers diaries; -'Every person have their own stories to tell'. So do I. I do have my story! But I sometime wonder whether I can also have a space to tell my story to the world someday.

Now that I have already spent seven years in Customs, I do feel I have a lot of stories to tell too! I would't say they are all inspiring or pleasing. But nevertheless, if a movie be made or a book be written about a Customs Officer, then how would it appear?  How would people react to it? Can a Customs guy at all have an inspiring story to tell? These were the first questions that came to my mind.
