Wow... That's deep. Really really deep. Then I checked the internet and found "Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." Guess who said this. William Shakespeare.
Well, what do i make of this? I believe that some people are indeed born great. With great talents or abilities or maybe born in great families. Lucky for them then. Some achieve greatness. For these people being great is not as easy compared to the ones born great. But with shear determination and perseverance and commitment, they are able to achieve this greatness.
What I am more concern is with the last group of people. People having greatness thrust upon them. In the movie, Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), an ordinary person, has greatness thrusted upon him. He is given the opportunity to be great. In which he took the chance and eventually became a great night watch, a great father.
Which group do we belong to then? Not all of us are born great. I dont know about you but I am certainly not. And not all of us can achive greatness by ourselves. You know with all the shear determination and perseverance and commitment, it still wont confirm greatness. So our only hope of being great is to have greatness thrusted upon us. Here comes the tricky part. Are we able to recognise this opportunity? And if we did, are we going to open the door and welcome it or shy away from this chance to be great.

Hehee.I shall comment on GREATNESS.Now tt i noe what u meant behind the post.
Well,they say oppurtunity knocks once.And like u said,the hardest part is to KNOW its an oppurtunity.
I think that u need to FEEL,if its the right thing for u to take up or not.Like,when u exit tt phase of ur life,do u imagine yourself saying
a)Sheesh!I shud have done it!
b)Well,heck,it doesnt matter.
So think of the outcome ah.Then u noe if tt is an oppurtunity of a lifetime or not.And whether u shud take it up or not.
Lastly,only fools regret.Never regret something after you have accept/turn down tt oppurtunity.
Chehh.Bebual banyakkkk.Hehe :)
