You can't place a dollar on true brillance, maybe value. Some of our greatest minds in the world ever didn't exchange their innovation for wealth, but self-fulfillment. Leardership used to be the same way. People used to stand for something instead of monetary return or title. Most people use their minds to deceptively to control, others to empower. It is in what way, I believe can be the true desire of an individual. One of the greatest was Einstein, his involvement with electricity that sparked a wave and fast jump into the future. He could of used it to his own benefit to bring a lifetime of super wealth and power. He obviously saw it as something that could in the future benefit medicine, technology, and everyday business to business, also the way interaction can be productive. George Washington Carver, a great civilizer who started with peanut butter then to hundreds of other uses from peanuts. What would later define industry and agriculture to this very age. So is greatness defined by what we do or gain? It has to be by what is long-term, generational. Quick schemes to get rich only get us rich, but not prosperous. The thing about the Olympics is how their is a torch lit that is passed from individual striver to the next. In a sense one generation of world people to the next. It is necessary and beneficial. A good example would be if you were going through something personal in your life and someone came to be with you and encourage you through this time, you would feel appreciated. Then the next day you find out it was because they did it for something in return or recognition, you would feel manipulated. How can we be of purpose now to have impact later should be our cause.
