Dare not to be great
If a man has love of someone he is a great man. When a man has love of his wife and family he is a great man. When a man has friends that love him he is a great man. When a man looks not for greatness and maintains humidity he is a great man. When a man knows that God has blessed him and his gratefulness brings him to tears he is a great man. When being great does not matter to him he is a great man.
