Thinking on those who've gone before me in the tapestry of time, each with their own unique story, I often think, well, what were they thinking? Most likely, given human behaviour, they were thinking some of the same things when you or I meet with adversity, challenge....A mix of 'oh, no, can I get through this?' using perhaps different words, or 'let's conquer this challenge'. But, really, what in your opinion makes a person great?
"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them".
- Shakespeare, Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V).

I'll come back to you on this.
There are many paths to greatness.
This is one I like :-)

Helen Keller
Anyone who dies is usually considered 'great' - I'm getting there!
Seriously though - I don't know - greatness, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. xx
Hi James,
looking forward to it
Cherry,
great quote, I may have to steal, er, use it. It is a good quote to try to live up to.
Mrs S,
och, yer nae sae auld
I think sometimes greatness is in the eyes of the beholder as in the little things that people do quietly for others, the eyes of a young child for its mother, the strength of true friendship.
Just some thoughts anyway. :)
