Sign of Success and Greatness

Is a large crowd of followers a sign of success? 
When a Madaari (stunt man) goes with his monkey to a village, all children in the area start to follow him and gather around him. 
Is that a measure of his success
Are the recognition and money he gets symbols of his greatness
The real measure of success is what one feels within his heart and mind - What he has achieved in his own life. 

Moreover, the children do not follow the Madaari for what he is - they follow him because of his monkey and the dance or tricks it performs. 
Similarly, People follow someone either because of their knowledge, money, or power - or their charismatic personality and leadership qualities. Nevertheless, some people may follow someone simply because of blind faith. Just because they see a multitude of people following someone, they also start following them. 
However, it's not the number of followers that makes one great, nor it's the applause, acknowledgments, and awards one gets. 
It's what they have actually done for society or humanity in general, which makes them exceptional and Great.  

Do not follow someone blindly. 
Find the real heroes - and try to follow - not just them but their deeds as well.
