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?

Arthur Sowatsky Jr.

Father and soldier in World War II. Arthur Sowatsky

served in the Battle of Iwo Jima and survived. After

returning he worked in a foundry where he was caught in

an explosion where over 50% of his body was covered in

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

of living at 49. He lived to be 83. Is this not great?

Courtney Stanley

Michigan University and was awarded the

international 2011 MPI Young Professional

RISE Award. Only one other person has

received this award this young before.

Is this not great?

Wanda Mrozinski

Mother of five who also lived through the

Great Depression. Her entire life was devoted

to her family and she sacrificed to help them

in any way she could. Is this not great?

All of these people did what they wanted to do. They followed their

dreams and did what they thought was right. That’s what made them great.

If you just get to where you want to go in life, you will be great.Because it matters to you, and no one can take that away.It doesn’t matter how big your action is.

Not every person is destined to greatness,

but you are the one who defines what greatness is.
