Inspiring Greatness!!!

    For awhile now I have been struggling with a paper on Inspiring Greatness in Others.

How do you Inpire Greatness?
 First you need to know what greatness it.

    If you really want to study greatness just go to etymonline.com It is a wonderful site that I get almost all my info from, it shows you the root words and meanings.

Anyway, so basicly greatness links to these other words.
Virtue
Wisdom
and Courage

    To be really great you need to show these traits. You need to show the world what these traits me to you.

Virtue- Moraly clean, freeman, courage, and hero.

    In this time area we usally only use the word virtue to mean moraly clean. But it also means faith, and action. It mean that you put action behind you faith and stand up for what you believe. It means having integirty and knowlege. It means knowing who you really are. When you really study Virtue you learn who you need to be.

Wisdom- power, self contole, and vitue.

    A lot of people dont understand the difference between wisdom and knowledge, it is very hard to explain, there is a very fine line. The difference is God, knowledge doesnt have God in it, its just a whole lot of facts and info in a brain. Where as Wisdom is knowing the difference between right and wrong, its knowing God and how to you the knowledge you have to help him.

Wisdom is defined in the 1828 dictionary as such
"the right use or exercise of knowledge: the choice of laundable ends, and the best means to accomplish them."

Laundable- Honorable acts.

Courage- heart, temper, hero, and comfort.

    This has such a broad deffinition its crazy. Each of the words listed right above have 10-15 words branching off of them, and then those words have 5-6 each. it looks like a very big tree when you draw it. Anyway.

    Courage is standing up for something, that we all understand, that I think is what everone defines courage as. I asked my friends what they thought of courage, or what their deffintions are.

"The abillity to do something even if your afraid to do it."

"Courage is when you stand up for what is right even if nobody else will stand with you."

    Greatness is in its self great, when you think about all the things that play into greatness you realize that you truely have to be a great person to be great, you have to have the courage to do something great, with the vitue and wisdom standing behind your actions and thoughts.

     "Let us consider the nature of true greatness in men. The people who can catch hold of men's minds and feelings and inspire them to do things bigger than themselvers are the people who are remembered in history....those who stir feeling and imagination and make men stuggle towards perfection."
