The Bullet of Leadership: Seek Greatness
The man who lives immersed only in his own interests, pleasures and sorrows is empty. As Cowper so well put it, “The miserable are nearly always selfish.”
Among the many things which are worse than a shortened life is the person who has become reconciled, adjusted, adapted, programmed and satisfied with failure. We must determine that the complacency and foolishness of others will not diminish our own personal passion for greatness.
A thousand deaths would be sweeter than perennial, perpetual defeat, or its close counterpart, mediocrity. God grant that each of us in these days of darkness will resolve to make them … in our homes, our church, our work, our community … our finest hour! There is no alternative it greatness!
