Alexanders Uniqueness he never became Complacent

Post by kenny »

Companions HiIve just finished reading a concise book about great boxers and world champions. One thing that comes evident about great winners is the appetite and hunger they begin with and achieve greatness.Then a situation arises with money power and opulence they lose the edge that made them great. Then they take fights without the hunger they had and start getting beaten. Some end up with nothing.With Alexander we have the guy that started witrh the same ingredients and kept them regardless of wealth he still remained hungry with what we call the killer instinct. I just wondered what gave him this ingredient till the end. Perhaps he was indeed vent on the conquest of the whole world so indeed right to the end he was still aiming for that goal that kept him in the number one frame of mind to do it.Any thoughtsKenny
