Invictus Games Underway

Why and how is he a great person?

Has he done anything great?
 
The fact that he is active in charity works AIDS and orphans, and while in Africa he cared enough that he created awareness documentary about Lesotho victims.
He was only 19 when he comforted these kids in Lesotho. what were you doing at 19?

creating Invictus after serving in Afghanistan is another example that he is thinking of others
not only himself - is what making him great person. good enough for me.

Every time I see this thread title I think of the movie. And the song 9000 Days. I have it on my phone. I have the lyrics somewhat memorized.
 
Invictus is Latin for “unconquered.”

INVICTUS

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

A very apt choice for the game name, don'cha think?
