If you are a significant figure...

you will get what you want
your word will be heard
your job will be done
your ideas will be considered

if you are a nonsignificant figure

you would hardly get what you want
you won't be given a chance to utter a word
(so don't dream of being heard)
you won't have a job,
so why to worry of getting it done?

your ideas won't even be considered as ideas

so how can we be significant?

it depends in what they want to be significant
if they want to be significant in this materialistic life only, then they may easily have it
life is paved with easy-getting delights

if they want to be significant in faith, then I think you know the way very well:smile:
they have to be armed with patience
