In my last post,i talked about greatness, and told you that its in you,hmm,this may seem different from what people,and your environment has told you, but what is greatness?
Unlike what we normally think, the greatness of a man or a thing is not in how rich the man is, or in his fame, or his academic success and achievements. Even though greatness attracts these things,they don't define greatness.
Then what is greatness? Greatness is in a man's or things ability to add specific value in a way that's unique,and scarce.
You don't have to be a millionaire to be great,

Mahatma Gandhi wasn't rich but he influenced and changed the lives of thousands of people especially Indian's around the world
You don't have to be famous or have a degree,

Srinivasa Ramanujan changed the world of mathematics,and he didn't even have any training in pure mathematics or any degree,he became as great as Isaac newton,giving us a way to understand phenomena in the world like the black hole.
So how does one add this value which leads to greatness?
You add value by solving a problem or meeting a need,not just meeting any need, but meeting it in a way no one has.

Have you ever heard the saying that greatness lies in every man. I have come to realize that this is true,every man is born with a solution in form of a gift,Which he has to serve before he can become as great as he was made to be.
The bible supports this
A man’s gift [given in love or courtesy] makes room for him And brings him before great men.

Those men mentioned earlier became great because they discovered their gift (solution),where it was needed and served it,simple shekina.
What got them to make this discovery,and how can you discover it?
Every great man had to successfully answer 5 fundamental questions that every man must answer, if he is to ever live a life of dominion or greatness.
These five questions are the reason,we have great men and women trapped in 9 to 5 jobs,or labour even though they are more than that.
These five questions are the reason people sleep under bridges,join cults and sell their bodies in the street.
Its because of these five questions that nation like Nigerian with all its potential,is still behind.
These five questions are what changed my life,from a broken and lost boy,to a man who is bold confident and is on his way to self fulfillment.
The answer we give to these questions can stifle stagnate and destroy or it can grow develop and glorify a man.
So what are these five questions?
I will give the answer to that question in my next post,thanks for reading and do well to stay tuned more great stuff is coming your way.
i believe so much in you and the fact that you are have taken care to make time for greatness by reading this.
Greatness is in me, wow thanks sir,can wait for the 5 questions sir
