to be great is to be misunderstood, how come?

Answer 1

To be great means that you stand out to be seen by many. Your actions will be analyzed and interpreted in many different ways.
A great mind will be treated the same. Whereby leading to misinterpretation and misunderstanding.

The more we perceive, the more questions we have. The person next to you may not know what it is that you are perceiving. Until they see what it is that you see, they will not understand what it is that you are trying to explain.

See?

Answer 2

there might be a situation that you interpret on a whole different dimension then the person next to you.you might have the answer to this situation on hand. the person next to you might not grasp your take on things because your level of thinking is much different then the other guys.eventually your wisdom comes through and the other guy who previously thought that you were of the rocker can see very clearly your path!This makes you misunderstood but also great for thinking the way you did.So, depending on your level of thinking and the others ability to understand and/ or follow you, end up with your question.

Answer 3

In order to achieve that (greatness), one must need to get through the risks, consequences, obstacles, etc and sometimes to reach your goal, a few may get their 'feet' stepped on - not literally of course, lol=P
Ask any great millionaire/ entrepreneur on how they got to the place they are right now.
It may seem that they have it all... but it surely wasn't easy gettin' there either.
Sacrifices had to be made; hard work is required as well.
The point here is, nothing comes handed to you unless you're a trust fund kid.
The cause for misunderstanding could be due to the ruthlessness one puts in to be great. If they weren't they wouldn't be who they are now, would they?

Answer 4

spidey said it all.
