I do not say I am a great man.
Simply I strive to do the most good in the painfully short and constrained period of life I am provided.
The truth lies in the mediocrity of human behavior.
Life is not a series of miracles and unusual events.
Simply by definition they have to be uncommon to be unusual.
That being said, 99% of ones life is the composite of normal, usual, ordinary, typical, and respectfully boring events.
Yet, we all hope to make a lasting beneficial impact on those we surround ourselves with and those we love.
It is the evolutionary struggle of human endurance.
