But, we fail to remember that the greatest leaders and revolutionists in history have also been given the same amount of time as we have; they day was still 24 hours long, and the week was still 7 days.

Martin Luther King Jr. was an instrumental figure in the civil rights movement where he worked endlessly towards securing rights for coloured people. He dedicated his time to work towards ending racial segregation and racial discrimination.

Albert Einstein changed the face of science; deriving many theories that have helped us understand how the world functions today, he spent a lot of time working towards the advancement of modern science.
Alexander the Great lived 32 years, but he built the largest empire in the world at the time.
