About 30 years ago, I was a very young technician employed in a 
sales and marketing position selling the very latest (at that time) 
in electronic communication equipment.
 
I had an appointment with a very powerful man - the Managing 
Director of a large multinational corporation - who had shown an 
interest in the product. I was very nervous about the upcoming 
interview.
 
My Sales Manager sensed what was going on, and called me into his 
office.
 
"Christopher", he said .. "first thing in the morning when we are all 
sitting with our pants down on the thunder box evacuating our 
bowels, we are all very much equal .. and we are all getting rid of 
what was not palatable to our bodies .. even the Great Ones. This 
man you are seeing is, in essence, no different from you or I."
 
 From that day on, I saw my Sales Manager in a different Light.
 
Later, in the interview, I reached a point where I was struggling 
.. and suddenly a picture came in my imagination. I burst out 
laughing.
 
The Great One asked me what I was laughing about .. so I told him 
what my Sales Manager had told me .. and then what I saw.
 
There was a stunned silence in the room .. and the Great One's 
disciples .. his technical assistants observed a very embarrassed 
silence ..
 
finally broken by The Great One asking me for the contract so that 
he could sign his acceptance.
 
"Yes", he said .. "underneath, where it really matters, we are all 
very much human .. and equal. It is everything else, the position 
we hold, the idea of who we are and who the other person is that 
leads to our perception of vulnerability. In my own way, I am as 
vulnerable as you are."
 
He continued .. "None are born Great .. some achieve Greatness 
through the stint of hard work .. others have greatness thrust upon 
them .. the ones I can't stand are those who grate on me"
 
Until he died, that man and I were the best of friends ..
