The Essence Of Profound Insight Is Simplicity.

No Matter What. Wherever Your Mind Wanders, It Seems To Turn Up At The Same Field Of Dreams. It's The Vision You Wake Up With In The Morning, And It's The Last Thing You Picture Before You Fall Asleep. Everytime You Think Of It, The Idea In Your Head Seems To Get More Vivid, Filled In With More Detail: You Not Only Want To Win A Gold Medal At The Olympics, You Not Only Can See Yourself Standing There On The Podium, But You Can Also Feel The Goose Bumps As Your National Anthem Is Played; The Tears Are In Your Eyes. (that's How Real A Dream Can Be And Should Be)

Perhaps Your Quest To Be Part Of Building Something Great Will Not Fall In Your Business Life. But Find It Somewhere. If Not In Corporate Life, Then Perhaps In Making Your Church Great. If Not There, Then Perhaps A Nonprofit, Or A Community Organization, Or A Class You Teach. Get Involved In Something That You Care So Much About That You Want To Make It The Greatest It Can Possibly Be, Not Because Of What You Will Get, But Just Because It Can Be Done.

The Only Way To Remain Great Is To Keep On Applying The Fundamental Principles That Made You Great.

If We Only Have Great Companies, We Will Merely Have A Prosperous Society, Not A Great One. Economic Growth And Power Are The Means, Not The Definition, Of A Great Nation.

...the Question, Why Try For Greatness? Would Seem Almost Tautological. If You're Doing Something You Care That Much About, And You Believe In Its Purpose Deeply Enough, Then It Is Impossible To Imagine Not Trying To Make It Great. It's Just A Given.
