Then some of us think that greatness is having number of girlfriends or boyfriieds or being Sharukh khan or Salman khan. Greatness is defined as our response to challenge.Greatness doesn 't happen when life is smooth. Greatness usually happens when we hit by an obstacle. Now that doesn 't mean that if you are running in a crowded place and you get hit by a beautiful girl or you purposely go and search for a beautiful girl around and go and bumped into her and you be like " Hey. whatsup?. Are you Greatness. I was eagerly waiting for you to come in my life.
