People often like to share stories of great people. Great men and women that had displayed exceptional behavior, intelligence or moral values. They are, most of the time, meant to be inspiring, so we, as average human beings, would be inspired to do well, or just better.
Somehow I often feel depressed when seeing them. How amazing they seem to be able to go through life and come out ahead. Media seems to convey to us that each and every one of us has something special, that perhaps we've yet to discover.
But they, just like us, not know where or how to find it.
Greatness? Born with it, or discovered from within? I guess I'll never know.
And I'll never seem to fail to remind myself how, irregardless of how great people may be, I'm still just the simple average me. To be better than me is no longer to be me, yet it is the me I would aspire to be.

Thought invoking incident.
So one fine day I was watching SNSD on radio star, and Sunny said something very interesting to TaeYeon. She told her not to be so sad, not to feel so sad after listening to sad music(namely ballads).
What if, to be a good ballad singer like TaeYeon, that is the price to pay? To be able to sing so soulfully into ballads, is due to the fact that the soul of the singer is sad? Would an ordinary person like me willingly pay it?
I mean, singers are celebrities, they do it for various reasons, such as fame and money to quote a few. What about us? What about mortals like me? Does that mean we can never be able to sing ballads well just because we don't experience as much sadness?
Do we need to be sad before we can sing a sad song?
