Greatness

Speaking on greatness this weekend and hope to show a clip from Amazing Grace CD of John Newtons life- took real character to hang in all that time to see parliament change the laws of slavery-greatness that took 20 yrs in the making.

Just looked at Michael Jordans quote on what made him 'great' in his basketball career:

" Ive missed more than 9000 shots in my basketball career,
I've lost almost 300 games , 26 times I've been trusted with the shot
that would have won us the game and I've missed it.
I've failed again and again and again and that's why I succeed.
I just cannot accept not trying "

Looks like greatness takes along time and a lot of hard work-keep going,we need a lot of great people.
