Most of us feel envious of famous and successful people in the world. We do not understand why they are so popular and honored while we are mere simple common folks. We all have a misconception that these people are prosperous just because they are especially gifted or because they are just "lucky".
But the fact is that most great persons have minds which are the same as, or perhaps even simpler and duller than that of ours. Yet, we refuse to believe so because our misconceptions have taken root in our stubborn minds.
Why, then, are their triumphs so great? It is because they are apt to fighting with difficulties with perseverance, without fatigue and undergo sufferings without minding the wounds. They are aware that the road to their destination will be filled with hardships. Their endurance is more powerful than that of ours for the simple reason that they submit without complaint to each storm in life. To illustrate this, let us take Columbus as an example. What difficulties and courage he had had before he discovered the New World. Had he fallen into despair, America might not have been discovered so early.
All of us wish to have a bright future. Those who remain in idleness and think that great people are different from us will never fulfill our ambitions. Those who think we are the same as great people, and believe in hard work will make our dreams come true.

Michelangelo was an Italian Renaissance painter, sculptor, architect, poet and engineer. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and fellow Italian Leonardo da Vinci.
Michelangelo's output in every field during his long life was prodigious; when the sheer volume of correspondence, sketches and reminiscences that survive is also taken into account, he is the best-documented artist of the 16th century. Two of his best-known works, the Pietà and the David, were sculpted before he turned thirty. Despite his low opinion of painting, Michelangelo also created two of the most influential works in fresco in the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling and The Last Judgment on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. Later in life he designed the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in the same city and revolutionised classical architecture with his use of the giant order of pilasters.
In a demonstration of Michelangelo's unique standing, he was the first Western artist whose biography was published while he was alive.Two biographies were published of him during his lifetime; One of them, by Giorgio Vasari, proposed that he was the pinnacle of all artistic achievement since the beginning of the Renaissance, a viewpoint that continued to have currency in art history for centuries. In his lifetime he was also often called Il Divino ("the divine one").One of the qualities most admired by his contemporaries was his terribilità, a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur, and it was the attempts of subsequent artists to imitate Michelangelo's impassioned and highly personal style that resulted in the next major movement in Western art after the High Renaissance, Mannerism.
Micheangelo was a profound perfectionist. If he found the tiniest flaw in one of his works, he considered it ruined.
