The Path to Greatness
All of us have the potential of greatness, waiting to be developed. However, till we have models greater than ourselves, we seldom improve. Thus, we need to adopt a few.
The only fortune worth finding is finding - then developing our rich - inner talents - those seed of greatness that God plants inside every one of us, awaiting our discovery.
“Responsibility is the price of greatness.” - Winston Churchill
“Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.” - William Arthur Ward
"Deeds, not stones, are the true monuments of the great." - John L. Motley“Man's greatness lies in his power of thought.” - Blaise Pascal
You are great man if you leave the world better than you found it. Put your heart and soul into everything you do, including the little things and that is the path to greatness. However, this road is not always smooth. You'll need a lot of courage, persistence, and great attitude in this journey.
Well, are you still on the path to greatness?

I love what you said, that : If we live properly, once is enough!
I have always thought of making something out of my life, and not just be a person that passed through the wind time.
Now I know what to do, finding how to live properly is the key.
