No, not all people "DARE TO BE GREAT". Some people simply take drugs or sit in front of the TV getting stoned. They are not trying to be great. They are just stoners. Some spend their lives trying to succeed, some don't try at all, and most of us are somewhere in between.

Some people try to be great and fail. Others succeed even though they don't try very hard. Yes chance has a lot to do with it. But you know - in my experience, the harder I work the luckier I get.

Funny isn't it?
