What Is Great?

I first introduced this video in responding to an older blog post, "What is great?". I fell in love with this song after it was shown to me, and have found it very inspiring ever since. There are many level-headed, rational quotes within that have guided me through things when I have been neither level-headed nor rational.

Great is realizing your goals. Great is satisfying my viewers as well as myself. To be great, one must always be learning, always trying new things. To be great, one must be humble. In trying to verbalize my thoughts on this, I was reminded several times of Baz Luhrmann's 1997 commencement speech-turned-song, Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen).
