A master, about to embark on a long journey, called his servants together and gave to three of them five, two and one talent, respectively. The parable of the talents has some application here. What separates some people from the mundane and the mediocre - from people like me? Do some people just have more drive and motivation to do outstanding things? I’ve felt inspired as I’ve listened to the Men’s Chorus, been awed at the performance of BYU’s Ballroom Dance Company and motivated at the instruction of my public relations professor. Then there are the two students who always wanted to do something great, and are now halfway through their bicycle trek across the USA to raise awareness for cancer. I recognized greatness during the conversation I had with the first Rhodes scholar from BYU, who, at age 85, still remembers the names of the professors who taught him at this university. I talked to a man who won the Nobel Prize for discovering the mechanism of the action of aspirin, a BYU faculty member whose research is aiding the crusade against cancer and a BYU law professor who directs an organization that provides strong defense for family values at international conventions. I’ve interviewed some great individuals during my experience as a reporter for The Universe. Maybe it’s easier to recognize greatness than it is to define it. According to the above statements by two great men, greatness is not defined by awards or worldly acclaim. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish greatness from great accomplishments. I might not have the capacity to dunk a basketball, and I’ll most likely never win a Pulitzer, but I can be great doing common things. Hunter expressed his admiration of “those who are doing the commonplace work of the world but are wondering about the value of their accomplishments … who are furthering the work of the Lord in quiet but significant ways.” Smith said that “to do well that which is the common lot of all mankind is the truest greatness.” President Howard W. There is something great within me - I can feel it. My dream of playing in the NBA will never be realized. I’m only six feet tall, my vertical leap can be measured with a slice of bread and I have the quickness of cold tar. With a few years experience in this real-world environment of BYU, I’ve realized I have my limitations. When I was a kid I’d watch the Olympics or a pro basketball game and say to myself, “I could do that!” I really believed that if I wanted it bad enough and put in the time, I could achieve whatever I desired. I’ve read stories of those who have gone on great quests, conquered harsh environments, led the masses to social justice, sunk last-second shots and cranked record-breaking home runs. As you found though, reloading your profile will temporarily fix them.Is there any hope for me to be great at something? Excellent examples of greatness are common in textbooks and newspaper articles. In regards to the Perth quest, map markers are a separate issue that we are working on. didn't include a screenshot for it, but did you get the key for the mines from the house to the south, or did you find another way in? I am including screenshots of each location I got any kind of quest updates. I have not modified my profile, but I have had this same issue. There is an issue with this quest where the note in question disappears if you exit and load your save file after starting the quest.įortunately, doing this works in this case, but there are cases where modifying your save profile can cause other issues, so we don't recommend it, but if you do choose to modify your profile, make sure you make a backup beforehand.
