As a human being, each individual excel in something. If you think that you are not great then maybe you did not discover it yet. For me I can say that being a full time mom makes me great! Why? Because I do a multitasking job alone, doing household chores and taking care of my kid. Not just simply taking care but I need to make sure that he's eating the right food, drink milk in time and teach him to develop his IQ.
How about you guys, what makes you great?

Hi Jenith,
If there could be a tagline for an individual also as much as for a company or business, my tagline is 'I crave excelling in everything I do'. I try to give the best for anything I undertake. I don't brook under performance of any sort. I do make sure I perform beyond average is by complete dedication and close application. As an example, just yesterday I took an online skill test for freelancing in US English vocabulary test about which the site indicated that it is meant for native English speakers and non natives might find it too challenging. The site advises a separate test test for non natives. Yet I decide to take the challenge. I'm delighted to state I scored 95% [top 10%] and won a performance bonus!
I believe in constant & continuous improvement of humans throughout existence, which I propagate through my blog Evolve-Forever. I have been able to write some 118 articles and have been successful in establishing an average 100 visitors daily.
I find that you are almost doing the same. Doing what you do with total dedication and involvement.
I can quote that famous saying "Some men/women are born great, some achieve greatness through hard work, while others have greatness thrust on them"! I think we belong top the second category.

like the other user said about, and i agreed, alot of us don't realise how great we are. i didn't think there was anything "great" about me, but my partner says i'm an amazing singer, and listener. that i always make her laugh, like no one else ever has, and she can always count on me to make her feel better about things.. so i suppose we are all great in someone elses eyes, even if we don't believe it ourself.

Oh so you are not only a good singer but an amazing one. Do you have any youtube post? How I wish I could be a good singer or dancer. Every time there's a gathering I need to hide myself 'coz I don't have any talent to share. Maybe I wasn't trained to be like one and now it's too late to start. I just realized it lately. hehe

The reality is we are all great because we are here! A lot of us do not recognize just how great we really are, we only see our flaws and what we are missing instead of what we have and what we have the potential to bring to the table. I and so glad to see you applaud yourself for being a good mother. That is one of the toughest jobs in the world and one we have to be dedicated to. I really am hard on myslef as a mother because i have my daughter late in life after I had a few medicla problems, so I don't feel I am there for her as well as the younger more active mothers. Nut I give her my best, and I spend time quality time with her everyday. I spend time at her school helping out and I make sure she has lots of play dates and I have her in a few extracurriculars to give her a broader range of activities and exposure to the arts. I hope to be a really good influence on her as she gets older. I am now in the process of going over what I like about me, and what talents I do have so that I can bring out the other great qualities that I have, such as being a good writer and listener.

Thank you guys. It's so nice to hear positive comments from you. Really helps me from being pessimistic to become optimistic. I was a negative thinker before. I always have this fear....fear to be neglected, rejected etc but now I already have this confidence to prove to people and to myself that I can do things that others can't.

I'm great because i'm a special creation of God. I really find myself unique and simply authentic. Though there are people who thinks i'm not, that doesn't bother me. What's important for me is how God sees me as a person and as His child.
I'm great and i want to be greater by doing my best everyday and doing better than what i did yesterday.

You are right! being a full time mom makes you and me great! no one more greater job than ours... A mom thinks about her kids, even if they're not with her, a mom loves her kids in a way that they will never understand, a mom will be there for her kids when no one else will, a mom will catch a grenade, take a bullet, stand in front of a train and ask God to take her instead of her child. God bless all mothers all over the world!

We are great because we can think,we can do something for others.We are great because the social think we are great,if you think you are great,you are crazy,you are Hitler.So I think we only can do in the world is do sth for society,not for ourselves.Then whatever you do little,you are great.

Most of the qualities i have only make me more like a warm blooded human being and a decent man, none of them has make me GREAT ! I go about my life by working hard, serve my country, pay my tax, fed my family, doing and Obeying God words, treat other with respect and honesty. Really, there is nothing GREAT about me at all. I am just an ordinary Joe like most of the people on earth that don't lie like the politicians, cruel like the communist, greedy like the tycoon, and doing all the household chores like a great mom.
