Summary

However, it implies that it takes a truly exceptional individual, often referred to as a "great man," to document and effectively communicate these historical moments and make them known to future generations. In other words, it emphasizes the importance of not only making history but also leaving a lasting mark by documenting and shaping the understanding of that history through effective storytelling or documentation.
