Alexander the Great became one of the biggest rulers of ancient history. He conquered most of the world of that time just at the age of 32. Although being the king of ancient Macedonia for less than 13 years, he changed the course of history.

He was one of the greatest military generals who stretched his empire all the way from India, through Egypt up to the northern border of Greece.

He was taught by one of the greatest philosophers of all time, Aristotle. This might have helped him have fundamental traits of an ambitious commander and a successful leader.

He was not an ordinary man as he never lost a single battle in his entire life. His ability to plan and strategize on large scale helped him win many battles even when his army was outnumbered. He motivated his army to be part of the greatest conquest in history. He was charming, inspiring, and courageous.

After conquering hundreds of kingdoms, Alexander was heading back home. On his way back, he fell seriously ill. While lying on his deathbed, he realized that nothing was worth it even after living a successful life conquering most of the known world.
