(April 18, 2015 at 8:26 pm)Quatermass Wrote: One common denominator that I find interesting is that many of the 'Greats' were outside of their field (at least in the area of invention). The Wright Brothers, for example, were bicycle engineers, while Alexander Graham Bell was a Philologist.

I have no problem with those who want to do anything in life big or small. I simply hate the word "great" being used to describe people. The famous people we like are still just human beings like us.
