What I thought today.

Today I was doing some reading. I have a wide genre when it comes to books and music. Anyhow, was reading quotes from William Shakespeare and one quote in particular stood out to me. That quote is "Some were born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." Now, I'm not entirely sure why but that quote hit me hard. It made me stop and think about my life and everything in it. Maybe it was jus the word "great" that really got me thinking. Let's be honest, I'm only 22 (in two weeks) so I haven't gotten to that point of "greatness" in my life. Does anybody though? Are people, who are older and have lived their lives, are they at that point of "greatness?" Is "greatness" just a feeling you get when you accomplish goals in your life? How do you know when you've reached that "greatness?" And can it really be achieved? See, I've thought about people in my life, now mind you I come from a very simple background, but I'm not sure if anyone has or will achieve that "greatness" or if they already have. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong though. Maybe "greatness" is in the joy of your family or your writing or even just waking up everyday knowing that it's a new day. Maybe I've got it all wrong but I feel "greatness" can be achieved in small ways. For all I know I've gotten all of this wrong, but it's just food for thought. Let me know your thoughts.

Well, Martha.. you bring out a very deep point from that "quote". And, I really do appreciate it & your deep insights ov`r such matters of facts`re, to be frank, as glorious as you are across the world. You even make me aware to know `bout the word 'great' or may be, you just made me feel think, "how great I`m..Oh is it really true? Am I really great? What I`ve done, what I just did and what I just do with time which makes me great?" So, when I asked such questions to myself, I really have had not an exact answer to my questions & now I think, this`s why I only think that i`m great but don`t even know `bout it anything that what makes me great. And, I do emerge such thoughts with the whole wide world & crack a wee bit smile & say to myself, "Oh.. so, that`s why the people`re still "UNSUCCESSFUL"" in their lives cos, they too only know how great they are but when it comes to their practical life then they, in real, come to know ... how unknown they still are to themselves. Martha, congress... a pat on your back, sweetheart... you really write a very cool blog. I enjoyed it even yeah.. I just feel an every drop of your ink which shown me the truth of 'greatness' & even yeah.. in inspire me to think .. think.. think .. and just re-think ov`r the life to walk ahead and always keep moving ov`r the roads to reach out the doors of success. Btw, We`re young.. aren`t we? I meant, you said.. you`re 21-22 ..ummm, probably so, yeah.. me too literally around .. the same age, Martha. *smile*
