It’s more important to do something to the best of your ability. Greatness is something that’s up to others to drape on a person like a blanket, if they’ll accept it.
If that’s a general question then I guess everyone is great at something? Even if it’s boiling an egg, for me personally Yes! I can’t help it, I am much better now I’m older but when I was younger I was so competitive about everything ‘If I can’t win I won’t run’ Chariots of Fire lol. Apart from anything else if you take away the pursuit of excellence then the human race would cease to exist beneath a wave of apathy 😀😀
I believe everyone has something they are good at. Like stated already in the comments. I think it would be a better feeling if you were great at something that you had passion for, rather than just random little things. Being great at something makes you happy.
I honestly just posted a new blog, and the answer is in it. I have no idea, I don’t even know myself which is crazy. I am good at being a parent. I need to expand myself to figure it out because thinking about it now, I have no idea
I think everyone is brilliant at one thing, its finding that thing thats important. Mine is going to be ruler of the world. I am going to be brilliant at it
I was taught to do the best I can be. I’d rather be passionate about something and give it my best effort than to work at greatness. I may or may not achieve it, but as long as I have done what I can, then I am content with that.
Not particularly. Good enough is good enough. Besides, I can always remember that when Mozart was my age he had been dead for 38 years and still haven’t written even one symphony.
of course it is. I’m great at not letting what attacked my body killed my determination with trying to overcome it. come to think of it, you’re great at fighting back too.
Hey! that’s a beer round on me some day in the Carolinas!

I see greatness as a way for me to define myself. When I experience a job well done, then it builds to me doing something in a great way.

Everyone sees it a little differently and that’s okay.

Aye, I assume we might have the same problem here, our veterans leave the forces and have little to no support on the outside

I’ve never been the person geared to think “good enough”. It causes other issues but it does aim me to the stars.
