Health and preservation of life,food ,sleep,money,life in the hereafter.Almost all of these wants are usually gratified.Except one "the desire to be great","the desire to be important".Well,y'know the deepest principle in human nature is the carving to be appreciated.For me,I always dream that I am now so sucessful that everyone is respect me .But I know it's not true .It's a reflect of the human nature. How about you ?Have you ever dreamed to be great?

I do not want to be great, i just want to proud and comfortable with who I am. I also have problem with self confidence, that's why I have this thought, but it doesn't make me don;t want to achieve greatness in life.

I always dream to be great in everything in school, at home, with my friends. I strive to excel in school, at work, and I do my best to do the chores in the house and I also want to be a great friend. I know what I have done is not enough for everybody because we cannot please everybody. Sad to say that even though I achieved enough, some of my relatives are degrading me. Am not looking at it in a negative side, I made it a motivation to make a step higher, not because I wanted to revenge, I just want to show them that I need some respect.
