Christopher Columbus had to be passionate about what he did. there was no one before him to tell him it was possiple. Plus, there were many people around him telling him it was impossiple. His passion to prove his coniviction drove him to accomplish the "impossible". He did not listen to the normal person, but had to do what he believed. If he had not been both a person of action and passion we may not have had this country we have today.

one thing that great people have in common that seperates themselves from the rest of the world is that they see things differently and refuse to give in to what everyone else believes just for the sake of being accepted. Hannibal saw rome even though he was still in the alps, Columbus saw land while his crew was starving and ready to make him turn around, Churchill saw victory while walking the streets of london during the bombing of london.
Greatness is not seeing who or where you are but who or what you have yet to become.
