I think I defined great people as those who overcome adversity. I'm sure there's plenty of other types of great people out there. Some celebrities are. Some celebrities are pieces of s***. I think Emily blunt and Joe Biden are great people who have overcome the adversity related to stuttering. Most all of us have avoided speaking in front of class when we were younger. We've shied away from speaking our mind. Whatever avoidance is that we employed. Being able to get up and speak in front of 30 or 300 people is an amazing feeling for those of us who couldn't make a phone call. It's life-changing to be a different person in such a respect.
