There are 6-7 billion people in the world. How can all those people achieve greatness. Isn't that a little unrealistic. Isn't greatness a privilege of the few? Wouldn't it be better if some, if not many, lived in so-called 'mediocrity', but they act as the grease that keeps the wheels of society moving forward? Don't we need better leaders, rather than more? Do you really think it's possible that everyone can be great? I'm looking forward to your thoughts. Note that I'm not too great myself. I'm speaking from a position of confusion, and disillusionment.
