Be great like Alexander with these seven tricks! 
1) Have a rich father. Alexander made a bet with Philip about Bucephalus and, according to his biographers, precociously managed to ride the horse, but never forget the importance of dad being able to buy the horse!
2) Inherit dad’s company. Alexander conquered Persia with Philip’s men.
3) Live to survive your stupid mistakes. Like leading your men through a desert.
4 and 5) when in doubt, hit it with a sword. Or a spear. Any weapon will do. Knotty problems or your friends, violence solves all your problems!
6) Read only a very narrow list of books. Or don’t just carry them around and leave them under your pillow to absorb the wisdom by osmosis.
7) Engage in the sort of performative behavior that make people years later think you’re pretty cool. Bonus if you can use it to coerce your subordinates to keep following you.
