<p><span>Do you want to build something great? How do you define great? Is it a company that makes $100,000? Sells for a billion dollars? Is it a charity that affects 20 people? 20 million people?</span></p> <p><span><span><span></span></span></span></p> <p><span>What I hope to illustrate is that greatness isn’t tangible. Greatness is simply the highest order to which you aspire. Depending on your aspirations greatness could have very different rewards and repercussions.</span></p> <p><span><span><span></span></span></span></p> <p><span>If defined solely by wealth, greatness can do the world a disservice. If defined solely by an impact that fulfills your needs, greatness may never amount to more than an aspiration. Greatness by definition should be the way you think you can change the world, for the better, while adding enough value that others see it as a worthwhile proposition.</span></p> <p><span><span><span></span></span></span></p> <p><span>We as human beings should aspire to doing something great. And great should never be defined as the same thing across the board. <br/></span></p> <p><span id="docs-internal-guid-294ccee1-a60a-af7c-b604-4f69b1e12bbb"><span>Don’t aspire to greatness because you believe you will be compensated, or because you will change the world. Aspire to greatness because it should be the only standard that you measure yourself by. Not against others’ accolades, or by others’ definition. Greatness should be your aspiration. </span></span></p>
