"Who is truly great? I hope you can develop the ability to discern true
human greatness. A great person is someone who forges unity among human
beings through sincere dialogue, armed with a solid philosophy, feet firmly
planted on the ground. A great person is one who lives among the people and
earns their unshakable trust. Fickle popularity and temporary fads are
nothing but illusions."
