I think the contribution people make is not proportionate to their fame or success. In fact, I think the relation is often inverse.
Leaders of nations, and people whose wealth or fame gives them power over the lives of others quite often do more harm than good.
Since we cannot know too much about the long term effects of our particular lives, and since success and fame are not good measures of the value of what we have done, it should be enough for any of us that as far as we can tell, in some small way we have made humanity's future better rather than worse.
