| "'Failure is not fatal. But failure to change might be.' What I get from this is, you are not necessarily going to be great right away, this is no problem. However, if you are not great initially, you have an opportunity to change your practices. If you do not make the proper changes, or if you make no changes at all, you will never achieve greatness." - William Versaw |
| "The points on greatness made in this article concerning achievements are interesting. They mention that striving for the best will get you your best and failure to change is a fatal error. However, I disagreed with the overall message of the article. I do not believe that achieving greatness guarantees success or survival. Anyone can be brought down or bring down themselves once in that position. Nothing is final." - Nick Sturn |

| "Greatness takes effort. It is not possible to be natural good at something. Everyone can improve their skills. It is an interesting article because it touches on how players are criticized for not working hard. But in reality they do work really hard, a lot harder than they expect to. Players have to constantly be practicing in order to improve or at least to keep their skills from declining. Without hard work greatness will never be achieved." - Liz Kantner |

| "Work ethic is something that takes drive and determination and is fueled by motivation. When you work at something hard enough you can become great at it. I think most that college basketball players were probably stars on their high school team so they have the mentality that they have already achieved greatness. So when they get to college they think that they do not have to work as hard. But when reality hits them they are completely unprepared for the harsh truth that, with greatness comes?s sacrifice and dedication. This article shows the truth about greatness, and how most players don?t achieve greatness because of their small work ethic. I think it is good for many people to read not just basketball players." - Stevland Polite |

| "I believe that Reggie Bush has worked his way up the path of greatness. He was from humble backgrounds. He was raised by a single parent during a crucial section of his life and he still came out on top. He gets heckled for taking the time to wear nice clothes. If I didn't have good clothes as a child, I would definitely wear the best clothes that money could buy if I became a millionaire. Reggie Bush went from an impoverished child to a top pick running back. His hard work and skill have definitely helped him achieve greatness." - Amar Brambhatt |
| "Reggie Bush achieved greatness at the collegiate level while playing football for USC by winning the Heisman Trophy along with a National championship. He also shows greatness by being a humanitarian for victims that were affected by Hurricane Katrina. Bush has built numerous new football fields for different high schools in New Orleans. In the NFL he demonstrated true composure as a running back while led the Saints to the NFC Championship." - Anjum |
