Greatness

Abraham Lincoln used to visit every day and during this time he used to talk to each person with utmost love.

One day, Abraham Lincoln was on his way to a horse-riding tour that one of his friends arrived.  Abraham Lincoln first greeted his friend and then asked his friend to follow along.

Friend obeyed Abraham Lincoln. Both of them set out on horse riding. On going a little farther, another laborer of the road was seen standing.  The worker bowed down and greeted Abraham Lincoln.

In response, Abraham Lincoln bowed more than he greeted. His friend was surprised to see Abraham Lincoln doing this. He thought in his mind that 'said Abraham Lincoln, who is the president of such a big country and said this laborer?' Then why does Abraham Lincoln need to give him so much respect?

After all, Abraham did not stay with Lincoln's friend, so he asked Abraham Lincoln, why did you greet the worker so much? Then Abraham Lincoln said, "I don't want to see anyone more humble than me." Upon hearing this Lincoln's friend bowed to his greatness.

This is to say that one who, despite being special, considers himself to be normal and treats others well, he is called great. Greatness lies not in living big, but in becoming small even when growing up.
