“There are persons who leave an indelible impression in the history of the world. They make it compulsory for the future generations to remember them for the things they have left behind. They are great. Greater are those whose memory rightfully stays for ever in the minds of posterity for the lessons they have left behind; the lessons that are capable of enhancing the quality of life; that stimulate you when you feel crestfallen; that motivate you to move towards your goal come what may; that enlighten you when you grope in the darkness; and that convince you about the invincibility of human faith and effort. Greatest are those who have inspired others while they lived, and continue to inspire the posterity even after death to live as great persons, by their own personal conduct and achievements. A greatest person lives as a shining lighthouse for ever and facilitates for a number of great persons to emerge.”
