'In the end, all that matters is what you've done'
Last night I saw Alexander.
The best part in the movie is when Alexander gives a pep talk to his soldiers, just before their attack on the Persian army (an army six times their size). He addresses some of the soldiers by name and reminds them of their past achievements, of their sacrifices in past battles. There’s many a leadership lesson in there. After all, how does one inspire so many to give their lives for a cause?
There’s a lot of philosophy in the movie. The tale of Alexander is an inspiring as well as a thought-provoking one.
I’m going to spend some time studying the lives of great men and women who have walked this planet. Some of them may be myths. Doesn’t matter.
