The Makings of Great People Various factors will be taken into consideration when define the phrase Great People. It is true that everyone holds different views on it. As in my part, the following three factors will help to, if not definitely leads to , form a great people. Great people usually keep positive attitude towards any difficulties or setbacks, and spread this way of thinking around. In their eyes, nothing wastes more energy than worrying, the longer one carries a problem. Those people have the ability to find the happiness even when the whole world seems to wearing a frown. It is not that worries never find then, it is that they have the strong power to keep worries away, and that power is the positive attitude. Besides, the great people never keep this magic power along with themselves, they spread it, to exert influence on every people around them. Great people are like shinning sun, brings warmth, sunshine, hope to everyone. Being a friend of them is quite lucky. In difficult times, they will see you through and keep you on path that leads right back to all the blessings in your life. Another character commonly shared by all the great people is the confidence. They view any impossibility as possibility. This strong will keeps them along through any dark times or cloudy days. They have deep belief that their abilities, their potential, their competence will help to realize their dreams. James Cameron once said: “Never set limits to yourself, coz other people will do that for you.” Without the confidence, there wouldn’t be Titanic, Avatar ,which brought huge impact and sensation to the world. The last character deserves mentioning is the perseverance. Albert Einstain is definitely the definition of genius. But he himself viewed his success the other way around: “ It is not that I am smart, it is just that I stay with the problem longer.” Although we can interpret is as modesty, it still offers us some lessons. What is your reaction to your first failure? or the second, third one on the same thing? Did you give up in fear of overwhelming failures or carry on until having a taste of success? Ask yourself, how many things would have turned out success if you keep it up? I am sure you will realize something, and that little something may change your whole life! To sum up, these three precious characters are indispensible in building up a great man
