Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said,"Everyone has the power for greatness, not for fame, but for greatness, because greatness is determined by service."Do you agree that everyone has the potenial for greatness? On your blog, state what you believe to be the qualifying features of greatness? Please dig deep! Don't be superficial. This is a concept that has actually made me wonder a lot.

I do believe that Martin Luther King Jr. is right in what he said. The reason that I agree with him is because of what I believe greatness is. Greatness is not determined by one’s fame or power but by a person’s character and the efforts that they put toward bettering the world. You can be great and still be unnoticed by everyone around you. For instance, there is a story in the Gospels about a woman. She was very poor, so poor that she only had two mites to her name. One mite is about a quarter of a cent, therefore she only had half a cent. When she attended church that week there were many rich men and women who dropped handfuls of gold coins into the offering plate while she quietly slipped in her two mites. While the rich men and women had given more money, proportionately they had given much less. She had given everything for the cause of the church and they gave enough to appear good to the people around them. Jesus saw all this and declared that she had given more. She was greater then the others even though only One noticed.
