Alexander the Great: The Macedonian Who Conquered the World

by Sean Patrick

Your dedication to your cause will be tested. Your wits will be forced to their limits. People will try to exploit your weaknesses and negate your strengths. The journey toward greatness is not for the meek.

But all barriers yield to one mythical quality: drive. The will to persist and overcome. To never give up. To never accept defeat.

Alexander’s adamantine will and belief in himself stemmed from the fact that he was willing to out-plan, out-work, and outlast anyone. He didn’t chase dubious shortcuts, and in some cases, purposely avoided them just to experience the glory of overcoming a great challenge. He didn’t beg for the favor of the gods; he strove to overawe them.
