WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE GREAT? SOME PEOPLE LOOK UPON OTHERS AS GREAT BECAUSE THEY ARE FAMOUS. MOVIE AND TV STARS, SPORTS CELEBRITIES, ELECTED OFFICIALS, BUSINESS TYCOONS ARE RECONGNIZED, ADMIRED AND OFTEN IDOLIZED. BUT ARE THEY TRULY GREAT?
GREATNESS IS MORE THAN FAME, IT'S MORE THAN WEALTH, IT'S MORE THAN JUST BEING AS ACHIEVER. A GREAT PERSON IS ONE WHO HAS EARNED THE RESPECT AS ADMIRATION OF OTHERS BY THE WAY HE OR SHE THINKS, ACTS AND LIVES HIS OR HER LIFE. YOU NEED NOT BE FAMOUS TO BE GREAT. INDEED, MANY GREAT PEOPLE ARE KNOWN ONLY TO THEIR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.
YOU SHOULD NOT ATTEMPT GREAT THINGS UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO DO THEM IN A GREAT WAY, IF YOU UNDERTAKE TO DEAL WITH GREAT MATTERS IN A SMALL WAY - THAT IS FROM A LOW VIEWPOINT OR WITH INCOMPLETE CONSECRATION AND WAVERING FAITH AND COURAGE - YOU WILL FAIL. DO NOT BE IN A HURRY TO GET TO THE GREAT THINGS. DOING GREAT THINGS WILL NOT MAKE YOU GREAT, BUT BECOMING GREAT WILL CERTAINLY LEAD YOU THE DOING OF GREAT THINGS. BEGIN TO BE GREAT WHERE YOU ARE AND IN THE THINGS YOU DO EVERY DAY. DO NOT BE IN HASTE TO BE FOUND OUT OR RECOGNIZED AS A GREAT PERSONALITY. DO NOT BE DISSAPOINTED IF YOU ARE NOT NOMINATED FOR OFFICE WITHIN A MONTH AFTER YOU BEGIN TO PRACTICE WHAT YOU READ IN THIS CHAPTER. GREAT PEOPLE NEVER SEEK RECOGNITION OR APPLAUSE, THEY ARE NOT GREAT BECAUSE THEY WANT TO BE PAID FOR BEING SO. GREATNESS IS REWARD ENOUGH FOR ITSELF. THE JOY OF BEING SOMETHJING AND OF KNOWING THAT YOU ARE ADVANCING IS THE GREATEST OF ALL JOYS POSSIBLE.
YOU DO NOT HAVE TO GO CHANGING ABOUT THE WORLD LIKE DON QUIXOTE, TILTING AT WINDMILLS, AND OVERTURNING THINGS IN GENERAL, IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU ARE SOMEBODY. IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO GO HUNTLING FOR BIG THINGS TO DO. ALL YOU MUST DO - AND YOU MUST TRULY DO THIS - IS TOO LIVE A GREAT LIFE WHERE YOU ARE, AND IN YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES, AND GREATER WORKS WILL SURELY FIND YOU OUT. BIG THINGS WILL COME TO YOU, ASKING TO BE DONE.

FOLLOW THE STEPS DESCRIBED IN THE FOLLOWING CHAPTERS AND IT WILL NOT BE LONG BEFORE YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL BEGIN TO DEFER, MORE AND MORE, TO YOUR JUDGMENT AND TO BE GUIDED BY YOU. SOON YOUR NEIGHBORS AND TOWNPEOPLE WILL BE COMING TO YOU FOR COUNSET AND ADVICE, SOON YOU WILL BE CALLED UPON MORE AND MORE TO TAKE CHARGE OF LARGER THINGS.
TRULY GREAT PEOPLE WILL LET THIS DEFERENCE AND RESPECT AFFECT THEIR EGO. YOU MUST CAST OUT PRIDE AND VANITY, AND HAVE NO THOUGHT OF TRYING TO RULE OVER OTHERS OR OF OUTDOING THEM. THIS IS A VIRTAL POINT, THERE IS NO TEMPTATION SO INSIDIOUS AS THE SELFISH DESIRE TO RULE OVER OTHERS. NOTHING SO APPEAL TO THE AVERAGE MAN OR WOMAN AS TO SIT IN THE UPPERMOST PLACES AT FEASTS, TO BE RESPECTFULLY SALUTED IN THE MARKETPLACE, AND TO BE CALLED MY LORD, YOUR EXCELENCY OR MASTER. TO EXERCISE SOME SORT OF CONTROL OVER OTHERS IS THE SECRET MOTIVE OF EVERY SELFISH PERSON. THE STRUGGLE FOR POWER OVER OTHERS IS THE BATTLE OF THE COMPETITIVE WORLD, AND YOU MUST RISE ABOVE THAT WORLD AND ITS MOTIVES AND ASPIRATIONS AND SEEK ONLY FOR LIFE. CAST OUT ENVY, YOU CAN HAVE ALL THAT YOU WANT, AND YOU NEED NOT ENVY ANY PERSON WHAT HE OR SHE HAS. ABOVE ALL THINGS, SEE TO IT THAT YOU DO NOT HOLD MALICE OR ENMITY TOWARD ANYONE, TO DO SO CUTS YOU OFF FROM THE MIND WHOSE TREASURES YOU TO SEEK TO MAKE YOUR OWN. LAY ASIDE ALL NARROW PERSONAL AMBITION - AND DETERMINE TO SEEK THE HIGHEST GOOD AID TO BE SWAYED BY NO UNWORTHY SELFISHNESS.
YOU MUST LEARN NOT TO LOOK UPON THE WORLD AS A LOST AND DECAYING THING BUT AS A SOMETHING PERFECT AND GLORIOUS, WHICH IS GOING ON TO A MOST BEAUTIFUL COMPLETENESS. YOU MUST LEARN TO SEE MEN AND WOMEN NOT AS LOST AND ACCURSED THINGS, BUT AS PERFECT BEINGS ADVANCING TO BECOME COMPLETE.
LET YOUR ATTITUDE IN BUSINESS, IN POLITICS, IN NEIGHBORHOOD AFFAIRS, AND IN YOUR OWN HOME BE THE EXPRESSION OF THE BEST THOUGHTS YOU CAN THINK. LET YOUR MANNE TOWARD ALL MEN AND WOMEN, GREAT AND SMALL, AND ESPECIALLY TO YOUR OWN FAMILY CIRCLE, ALWAYS BE THE MOST KINDLY, GRACIOUS, AND COURTEOUS YOU CAN PICTURE IN YOUR IMAGINATION. REMEMBER YOUR VIEWPOINT, YOU ARE A GOD IN THE COMPANY OF GODS AND MUST CONDUCT YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY.
STUDY CAREFULLY THE SECRETS OF ACHIEVING GREATNESS THAT YOU WILL FIND IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES. PRACTICE WHAT YOU READ. GREATNESS WILL NOT BE THRUST UPON YOU, BUT STEP BY STEP, YOU WILL INEXORABLY MOVE TO THE POINT WHERE YOU WILL BE RESPECTED, ADMIRED AND LOOKED UPON AS A GREAT PERSON.
