Great people or great challenges?

I loved this quote, tweeted by Leigh Carter via Ben Watson

There are no great people in this world, only great challenges which ordinary people rise to meet. – William Halsey
It saddens and frustrates me that some of those ordinary people spend the rest of their lives trying to bolster the notion of heroism as inherent in their identity. I imagine you can all think of a few examples.
