Life is not simply a marathon road from birth to death.
Emerson, in his famous essay "Self Reliance" said something like following.
(I do not recall the exact words.)
Look around and see what great people are saying. They are not saying anything new. We already all that they are saying. These thoughts and ideas were already hidden somewhere in us. The diffidence between us and them is, they have courage to speak and talk about it. Whereas, we did not have courage to speak and talk about it.
Look at what Leading politicians are today speaking on public platforms. They are saying same things which are already in our mind. They speak out it loudly. Whereas we simply keep thinking and sometimes we murmur about that.
This may be the main difference between them and us.... The courage to speak up.
