The GREATs

Recently I saw movie 'Invictus', as often happens, the story, the characters in it has inspired me towards pouring out these cluster of words. The movie is about Nelson Mandela and the 1995 Rugby World Championship. Its my habit to go on to Google if something touches my heart, search and read all about it. So I did the same with the keyword 'Nelson Mandela'. And I am left wondering ....
How do some people turn out to be GREAT. What are they made of. What was different in  Mandela. There are so many in his league. Gandhiji, Mother Teresa, etc etc. These people were not intellectually genius as Stephen Hawking or Bill Gates. Nor as rich as the kings of countries or healthier as Mike Tyson or even Dhara Singh then what was it! After mints of wondering I realise ...
It has to be their guts, dedication towards supporting a cause and the way they do it.
Obviously I could not have stopped there, had to support my finding with examples. I connect this theory to lives of other greats.
Remember Lady Diana,she was just another married to a Prince women like so many still alive. All of them are supposed to do charity and stuffs but why was she everyones favourite and I guess still remains to be. It was the grace and beauty on her face while she did it. The extra leap she took. Take Mother Teresa what was the need to come all the way to poor India set up a missionary. 
I have to mention this one example which flew into my brain.
Raj Thackeray, not one of the GREATS great but still he is going to be in the minds of people for times to come. That is a greatness in itself. The cause he supports and the way he does it ;) 
The thought story doesnt end here. Why am I not GREAT. wondering wondering and wondering.... Three days later... no answer found yet :D Maybe that 'not GREAT' is not true. May be I am GREAT :D
I think everyone is great in ones own sense. World wont be the same without me or even without any singles person less from you.
