A few thoughts.

What makes a great person "great"? Is it the gestures that he or she does? The things he or she says? Is it the smile that captures one's heart that comes from his or her lips?

...or it is something else?

What makes a great person "great"?

A person is great because he or she does things for others out of love and inspiration, without asking for actions in return. He or she speaks out of the heart, not to sweep anyone off their feet temporarily, but to inspire and captivate one's mind to procreate and be proactive, without asking for words in return. A great person smiles, not only because he or she is happy, but because despite their own obstacles, they choose to be positive, in hopes that maybe...someone else will feel his or her energy and let their own light shine, taking one step forward with a curve that straightens everything out, without asking for any sunshine in return.

What makes a great person, "great" are the little things they do that makes such a big difference because of its cycle that continues to spread around. Once they do, say, and smile at another, it seems that the other generates some sort of positive energy and feels the need to share it to someone else. Instead of just one person being happy, now there's three.

If you come to think of it, it's a great thing, started by a great person...and that my friends, is a beautifully planned out subconsciousness, and THAT makes a person great.
