greatness
TRANSCRIPT
Not every person is destined to greatness,
but you are the one who defines what greatness is.
Everyone starts at the
bottom, but it‘s what you do
that will make you great.
Abraham Lincoln Mahatma Gandhi
Babe Ruth
Leonardo da Vinci Mother Teresa
But what makes someone great?
Do they have to be known by the world?
Do they need to change the world ?
Do they need to stand for something?
Do they need to impact the masses?
Or is it something much more simple?

third degree burns. The doctors said he had a 10% chance
