“Greatness is not measured by what a man or woman accomplishes, but by the opposition he or she has to overcome to reach his [or her] goals.”
–Dr. Dorothy Height
yes its true. i also believe that one should welcome critics because these are like mirrors that tell you who you are and one can grow even more when a person change from the comments and or critics of the people. its not bad to be corrected but rather its a gauge for your accomplishment.
What can be said about Michael Jackson whom we think as a Great man, yet he was unable to overcome his challenges in life that eventually ended in an undesirable climatic way.
There are countless ways of attaining greatness, but any road to reaching one’s maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity.
For me, I believe that Greatness can only be measured when a man is able to face the hardest situation in his life and is still standing up. Never gave up and managed to be a successful and better person.
