Greatness... all people want to achieve it, but few people have the qualities that can make it happen. Here, I would like to list for you some of the qualities that make people great.^ To start off, Id like to tell you about courage. Brave people, like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mohandas Gandhi, faced threats and violence. Both men were killed as a result of the struggles they undertook. They knew that they could be killed, but this didnt concern them very much. They didnt back down. And neither do great people today.^ Next, theres commitment. Great people are serious about their work. They focus on it, and they dont allow themselves to become distracted. TV shows, parties, leisure gatherings, nothing distracts great people when they are working.^ And finally, vision. They foresee important needs, for example, the need for communication over long distances. And they meet that need by inventing technologies, such as the phone and the Internet. ?

Song: Running Down a Dream 尽管成名已经超过二十年，汤姆·佩蒂(Tom Petty)与他的伤心人合唱团(The Heartbreakers)乐队独特的风格，仍然有如一股清流，在歌坛有着极高的评价。现年逾六十岁的佩蒂，高中学业都没有完成，就开始投入歌坛、自组乐队。经过一再地变动后，他们在1976年正式以Tom Petty the Heartbreakers的名义出击，凭着Petty鼻音浓重、近似于Bob Dylan的南方口音，以及他相当单刀直入的创作方式，描绘着中产阶级美国人的失落与梦想，引起了广大的注意。 It was a beautiful day, the sun beat downI had the radio on, I was drivinTrees went by, me and Del were singinLittle runaway, I was flyinYeah, runnin down a dreamThat never would come to meWorkin on a mystery, goin wherever it leadsRunnin down a dream Lyrics: Running Down a Dream (追逐梦想) Song: Running Down a Dream Lyrics: Running Down a Dream (追逐梦想) Im runnin down a dreamThat never would come to meWorkin on a mystery, goin wherever it leadsRunnin down a dreamYeah, Im runnin down a dreamThat never would come to meWorkin on a mystery, Im goin wherever it leadsIm runnin down a dream I fe
