What does it take to be great?

What is the age limit to be great? I know there is none.
What does it take to be truly great?
And more importantly - how can you achieve greatness when you live a mediocre life, earning mediocre salary and have mediocre interests that are limited in comforts of some mediocre mall.
Does greatness also - like absolutely all other things in the world come from within? Because its actually very frustrating to know that ALL things in the world actually (peace, happiness, beauty, wealth, health) come from within and still are most times out of reach. Because, honestly - I want to be great !!.. I want to reach the top of my bell curve and want the top of that to be ABOVE that of everyone else. Is that too much to ask from self?
Many say that greatness can be achieved by thinking out of the box.. others say that greatness can be achieved in every action and to execute everything to perfection... many others are of the opinion that you are born with greatness in your destiny and nothing you can do will diminish or increase how great you are.
This is bullshit. Specially the last one.
I think - everyone is great in some way or the other. Its just how we see it as greatness. So - greatness doesn't come from within, but the certificate sure does.
