Alexander was an ancient Greek King of the Macedon. He was one of the most successful military commanders in history, and was undefeated in battle. By his death, he conquered most of the world known to the ancient Greeks. Alexander was perhaps one of the greatest Kings born till now. He had strong and clear aim in his life to conquer the whole world. Not only was he a strong King he was also a great person as he was well educated by the famous Greek Aristotle. He proved himself to be a king hearted yet strong King of that time, so that was the reason he was able to win both lands as well as the hearts of the regions he raided. He was kind to the families of his enemies and took proper care that they are not insulted and are dealt in the same manner as they used to be before his rule. He was brave and fought many battles leading his armies so his army had full confidence in him and they were ready to lay down their lives for him.
Alexander had a strange thing struck in his mind that he had to conquer the whole world and earn both name and fame so that this world remembers him long after he is gone. He is raised in a bit different environment than other rulers were. He was filled with all kinds of hatred and doubts in his mind and sometimes he felt helpless and could not decide the right and the wrong all by himself. Still he managed to be educated by the Greek legend, Aristotle, which helped his thinking to become great. Considering myself in Alexander’s shoes I would have never gone for such a race for conquering the world. Instead if I was so smart I would have paid attention in my own region as to how I can make my area grow more rich and peaceful. I would have encouraged practices like trading and other forms in order to avoid such brutal battles and killing lives of plenty of soldiers. His dream was a bit strange to me and in no ways I would have believed in such a dream. Another thing was that in his whole life he was never shown confident enough as far as his family was brought in picture. So may be this could have been the case that he never wanted to stay close to his homeland and was traveling far and far. But by doing so he was conquering whatever was coming his way.
Sitting in Alexander the Great’s shoes I would have taken full advantage of the study that I would have studied from Aristotle. In the early conquests he made friends in the regions he raided. But that was of no use as his own men started hating him and revolting him which was also a cause of the breakdown of the Alexander. Leaving aside all odds I admit that he was the best rulers of all times as it was at that time a culture to fight for the nation’s pride and hardly anyone would have believed in the peace things. So altogether he was a ruler with an exceptionally tender heart and sharp brains.
