Alexander the Thrid - 1774 Words

I, Alexander III, was born the son of a great warrior, King Phillip II of Macedonia and Olympias, daughter of King Neoptolemus I of Epirus. I was born on the 20th of July in 356 BC in Pella Greece. I spent most of my childhood in Pella’s royal court. During my time spent there I hardly ever saw my father because he spent most of his time in military campaigns or with one of his many women. On the other hand, mother, was always there for me, even when I did not ask for her presence. From a young age mother and father wanted the best for me, even if at times I didn’t see it. Both my parents influenced me to become what I am today. To them my education was important. First, Leonidas tutored me; he was a very stern man. Of course, my attitude and behavior might have contributed to the way he treated me, non-the-less. I do have to admit that Leonidas helped develop my physical endurance; his harsh schooling was the foundation for my physical abilities. My father was not completely satisfied with Leonidas ways, so he saw to it that I would no longer be taught by force, but rather by persuasion. As a result, at the age of 13, in the year 342, Aristotle was assigned control over my education. He was a master of science and my father thought he would be the best for me. Indeed, it was one of the best decisions my father made for me, being that he hardly showed interest in me. With Aristotle my passionate love of Greek culture came to be; he made me entirely Gree k in intellect.Show MoreRelatedCorporate Identity10953 Words   |  44 Pages04/02 – Hafiz Mirza Axà ¨le Giroud Regionalisation, Foreign Direct Investment and Poverty Reduction: The Case of ASEAN 04/01 – Gretchen Larsen Veronica George The Social Construction of Destination Image – A New Zealand Film Example 2003 03/35 – Alexander T Mohr Jonas F Puck Asymmetries in Partner Firms’ Perception of Key Variables and the Performance of International Joint Ventures 03/34 – Hafiz Mirza Axà ¨le Giroud The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on the Economic Development of ASEAN Economies:
