Great People Are Made, Not Born Spiderman, ladies and gentlemen, yes, I said Spiderman. Well, even this web slinging Marvel super hero was stung by a spider and then became “your friendly neighbor spidey”. You may all  be wondering why I am taling about Spiderman and what he has to do with my topic. !his is to  prove to you that even a super hero was made, not born a super hero. !he truth is, no single  person in this entire world was born great, all of us here were made to be great by their own effort. !here is no such thing as a person who is genetically born great. If there was such a  person, ladies and gentlemen, I can guarantee you that it is purely a hoa". #nd so I begin my topic for today with a warm good morning $ afternoon to% &

last last but not least least my my great great audience audience presen presentt here here today today..

“(reat )eople #re Made, *ot +orn” is the topic of my speech today. irst of all, the word -great figuratively means those who have achieved importance and recognition that are meaningful for him, his family and the people around him. When people say, he is a born leader, do you seriously believe it/ I dont and so comes my first argument. 0adies and gentlemen, I believe being passionate is not innate and so, great people are people who are passionate about what they do. !hey tae great pain and effort in maing their dreams materiali1ed. !he base of  being passionate is to have an interest and en'oy what you do. !hese people too this point p oint very seriously seriously and leaped forward to be acnowledged acnowledged as great people. people. When there is no passion passion for anything, thus there is no achievement. !he most successful people in the world wor day and night to achieve what they want in life and this goes to show that they have passion. 0ets tae for e"ample, *elson Mandela. 2e is considered a hero in the hearts of not only #fricans but also worldwide, when he fought for the eradication of slavery and rebelled against the #partheid government at that era. 2e then became South #fricas president from 3445 to 3444. 6ven though *elson Mandela was sentenced to life in prison and had to perform hard labor at a lime 7uarry, his passion for fighting against the #partheid government did not tae a  brea. 2e pushed through and wored from inside prison walls, which comes to show you how  passionate he was to fight for human rights and freedom. *ow, thats an evidence of a hero made, not born.

Moving on to my ne"t argument, my respected captive listeners, 8etermination is also an added value that great people possess. !he -never give up attitude of these great people has taen them to a new height in their live. !his is a vital 7uality in maing great personalities. When life is hard for them and it presents a mountain of challenges, their  pure determination eeps them going further. 8etermination is something that in nurtured through hardships and hard hitting moments in life. 9ne does not ac7uire determination as soon as they are brought to earth, it comes as they build their character and find their true self. !he  best instance that I could 7uote you for determination is Steve :obs, the co&founder of #pple Inc. !he best part about his success is that he was a college dropout from the ;eed
