Standing on the shoulders of titans.

Spending time reading history you start to see that we stand on the shoulders of titans. Men who because of their deeds (righteous or evil) will be remembered for centuries. These men have left their words to teach us or warn us. Heed their words. Listening costs nothing and rips away ignorance.

Alexander the Great:
“There is nothing impossible to him who will try.”
“Upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.”
“An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by a sheep.”

Henry Ford:
“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.”
“Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young.”
“Don’t find fault, find a remedy; anybody can complain”
“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.”

Andrew Carnegie:
“As I grow older, I pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do.”
“People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.”
“He that cannot reason is a fool. He that will not is a bigot. He that dare not is a slave.”

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning; it is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

I’ve read a book on Alexander. When you look at the empire he created, how he made it, how he held it together and how short a time frame it took him its humblingly absurd.

Guagamela alone is probably the boldest tactical strategy ever enacted given the circumstances. Total masterpiece.
