I don't think that Great Person is a myth. Yes, everybody is a product of their environment, but some people manage to seize the opportunity and place their stamp on history that we can still see centuries later. I think history would be massively different were it not for: Cyrus the Great Qin Shihuang Alexander the Great Julius Caesar Arminius Mohammed Charles Martel Genghis Khan Queen Elizabeth I George Washington,Abraham Lincoln Napoleon Bonaparte Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Winston Churchill Mao Zedong And in computers: Bill Gates Steve Jobs Richard Stallman Linus Torvalds Not only do I think that the Great Person is true, but it also very inspiring. Many times we feel we are just a cog in the machine, looking at the lives of these Great People can remind us that an individual can place their stamp on history and be talked about and studied centuries later.
