+Let’s put this one through the syllogistic wringer. This means one of two things, either:
-:(a) not everyone ''is'' a game-changer, but everyone ''can be'' a game-changer even though some — most, even — ultimately are not, in which case, so what? What use is someone who could be, but eventually isn’t, a game-changer? And if we are being [[deterministic]] about it — something the [[JC]] is not usually minded to do, except to prove a point like this one, but still — if it turns out you ''aren’t'' a [[game-changer]], then it was as true then add it is now, that you were ''never'' going to be one, you just didn't know it. In which case in what sense was it ever really true that you ''could'' be a [[game-changer]]?

In which case, was it ever really true that you ''could'' be a [[game-changer]]? We say no.
+If not that, then it must seek to draw a distinction between a “[[game-changer]]” and a “person who makes a game-changing impact”. But the latter seem, to your correspondent, to be the very definition of the former. Building in our previous learning, we can extract the following:
-P1 Not everybody is a game-changer,
+:P1 Not everybody is a [[game-changer]].
-P2 Everybody can make a game-changing impact and contribution
+:P2 Everybody can make a game-changing contribution.
+:P2(a) To make a game-changing contribution is to be a game-changer.
+:P2(b) A person who ''can'' be a game-changer, deterministically, ''will'' be a game-changer.
+:P2(c) A person who, deterministically, ''will'' be a game-changer, ''is''  a game-changer.
+:C Not everybody is a game changer, but everybody
