Action

“Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it - but sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor.”
~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

That's a great quote! Greatness is a direction, a movement, not a destination. It is an action and a motivation. Therefore, it is nearly impossible for those outside one's heart to truly judge greatness until the end result is fully realized. This quote eloquently speaks of the beauty of change, choice and character. Thanks, Erik.
