I personally like this quote from his inaugural "In reaffirming the greatness of our nation, we understand that greatness is never a given. It must be earned."
This is a very admirable quote it stood out to me. I think what Obama was trying to say was he knows he has big shoes to fill and he knows that its not going to be given to him, that he has to prove himself to be great. How this relates to everyday life is that we can't always expect things to be given to us we have to earn it, just like Obama has to earn respect because not everyone is rooting for him succeed, so he really has to prove himself.
