He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered as one of history's most successful military commanders.

Once he was returning home after conquering many kingdoms. On his way back, he fell ill. Physicians tried their best to cure him but couldn't, which resulted in his death at age 32.
Legend says these were Alexander's last 3 wishes. Over 2300 yrs later these are still applicable.

1) I want the doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal.
2) I want the path to my graveyard to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, stays on earth.
3) When my casket is being carried to the grave, my hands should dangle outside. For empty-handed, I came into this world, and empty-handed I shall go!
Our #health is our biggest treasure. Our belongings are only so good if get to enjoy them while we are hale and hearty. Nothing goes with the individual when they leave the earth.
