Give Your Greatness All that You Have
Going for broke is a popular phrase that is used to indicate going for something in an all out effort. In any known successful endeavour we know that there are no half-hearted champions. To unleash greatness once we know what we are about we have to go for broke – to give our all in pursuit of our purposes.
Everything that we do is a risk. To sit and wait for change is to risk things never changing. To doubt and vacillate is to risk the loss of our dreams. To procrastinate is to risk losing precious time. True greatness comes when we throw all that we have got to our dreams and we pursue them until they are begging for mercy.

They feel that the great are mean, proud and arrogant. Usually, however, this is not the case. My experience has been that most great people are humble, warm and caring people. It is simply that a lot of people do not know them well enough. Read more
