Preface
Mother Earth is inhabited by approximately 6 billion people out of which more than one-sixth of the people are living in the Indian Sub-continent. Amidst this sea of humanity, there are only a handful of men and women who are able to achieve greatness. They start revolutions, create epochs, author the annals of history, discover new worlds and pioneer novel concepts. These men and women come to control the destinies of millions and give new dimensions to human existence. There are always some attributes that are responsible for making a life great. These may be either mental qualities or the qualities of heart, body or soul. This book is a humble attempt to identify the persons who possessed some of such qualities. If one reads it, it is certain that he/she will gather the self-confidence which is absolutely required to lead a good life.
GREATNESS is never the prodigy of circumstances, it is always the outcome of great thoughts and their strategic implementation with utmost confidence.
It must be clearly understood that “Great” in the apparent sense is not a synonym of “big”. A Great man can nevertheless be humble in mortal gains but his deeds may carry within him, the intrinsic value of greatness.
This book contains innumerable stories, instances and lives that have left for us the imprints for future life. Whatever we possess today is owing to the sacrifices made by those handful of men, women and events which have transformed the very meaning of life.
Whatever may be our endowments, background, situation or time, we must try our level best to comprehend and nurture our true potential. Why not explore it?
In my previous book Positive Self Transformation , I gave exhaustive indications towards the true meaning of life as well as its positive transformation. In this book, I wish the reader to catch hold of the impulses that will enable him to find the right slot in the whirlwind towards Greatness by enhancing level of SELF-CONFIDENCE to unattained heights.
Here we commence a breathtaking journey towards greatness and exploring a world of Self-confidence.

Journey towards Greatness through Self-confidence
The Benchmark of Greatness
If a man hasn’t discovered something that he will die for, he isn’t fit to live .
-Martin Luther-I
These words are as stirring and true as the life of its believer. In a few words, the very meaning of human existence has been summed up. Life is nothing more than a search - a continuous search for a cause to live and die to be governed by the thoughts and dreams and propelled by a concealed urge to achieve Greatness. In this vast sea of humanity, let us take a solemn pledge - a pledge to accomplish that for which we are born, to conquer our follies and failings and stand apart from the teeming millions, as the one who leaves his footprints for others to walk upon. But before we commence our journey towards greatness, we must contemplate upon its nature and try to find a coherence with it in our own short life.
Denning Greatness
Greatness can be termed as the measurement of the ‘intrinsic value’ of a person or his deeds. Greatness is never tainted with selfish motives. Rather, it is guided by a strong motive which is the ‘welfare’ of mankind. A man can earn lots of money, build palaces, provide the best to his family and wallow in the swamp of glory, but can’t reach greatness if his efforts are guided only towards self elevation. On the other hand, a soldier fighting for his country after putting everything at stake or a modest social worker dedicating his life for social upliftment without caring for his personal well-being, can definitely be termed as Great. Greatness has within its bosom, the central theme of “Giving” - giving knowledge, cultivating faith, giving solace, giving peace and above all giving up yourself for the good of others.
It has been truly said by Khalel Gibran -
You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give .
The benchmark of GREATNESS comprises the following virtues:
Possessing a worthwhile cause In the words of Swami Vivekananda “Life is short, Give up to a great cause.” It is only when a person rises above his own petty self and dedicates himself to a cause, that he sows the seeds of an enlightened life. He becomes an embodiment of an ideology and gradually loses his own tiny existence. This is the first benchmark towards greatness. He and his cause become one. The cause can be social, moral or patriotic.
One such man was Martin Luther. On October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther was nailing his thesis upon the door of the church at Wittenburg, criticizing the sale of indulgences, never did he realize that he was going to give birth to a new religious sect called the Protestants . Amidst turbulent opposition from the greatest powers in Europe, he kept his cause glowing like a radiant sun. What kept him moving was his unflinching faith in his cause which he believed was the voice of his conscience.
I can and will retract nothing, as it is dangerous to act against one’s conscience was his confident proclamation. Martin Luther was quick to recognize the spiritual fervour within him. He was grossly unsatisfied with religious abuses doled out by the priests. His strong religious convictions grew into a rage and he threw his entire life to the Reformation of Christianity. His contributions to religion helped to transform the medieval world into the modern.
Driven by a single obsession
Great men and women always live with “one mission”. Their minds are filled by an obsession to accomplish their mission. They are never daunted by circumstances or conditions, rather their eyes are fixed upon what they desire to achieve. Day and night, their thoughts revolve around their mission.
In ancient India, a little before the battle Mahabharata was fought, sage Dronacharya was assigned the task of teaching archery to his disciples-young princes of Hasti-napur among whom the name oîArjuna stands apart. As a young boy, he had only one obsession - to be the world’s greatest archer. One fine afternoon, all the princes were asked to aim at the eye of a clay bird. To test their concentration, Dronacharya enquired all the princes “What do you all see?” Some princes pointed towards the trees, the surroundings, some towards the well and the river. It was only Arjun who said “I only see the bird’s eye.” The surroundings made no effect on
