lol insecurity is something everybody shares. it is to what degree that they are insecure that truly matters. i am insecure in very exspansive areas, some are insecure in society, others in love. most great men saw their insecurity, and moved past it by becoming the greatest in something that their insecurity would not affect.

I don't think it's common to all great achievers, but certainly in lots of cases insecurity can make a man strive to prove himself.
Napoleon, of course, was insecure about his height so they say.
I think everyone has their hangups though. I constantly have doubts, and it's making me work harder than ever to achieve my dreams and objectives. Although I'm not a great man, that's no barrier to being one in the future.

all great men rose above some type of adversity.. for some that adversity was insecurity... for others a physical deformity... for others it was another nation... each has their own story... but ADVERSITY, not insecurity is what links them.

How did they come to be great men if they were insecure?
