My New Favorite....Person of Macedonia?

Most people don't tend to have favorite just laying around in their head for every little topic. But I do. My new favorite person from Macedonia has got to be Alexander the Great. The guy sounds.. from lack thereof of words.... great. He seriously sounded like some success story, alright! This guy was at the young age of 20 when he became the leader of the gigantic empire of Macedonia! Taking over at such a young age many doubted him. Alexander didn't even flinch! So what there are people plotting to overthrow me! He tortured them and showed his kingdom he wasn't one to be trifled with, that's for sure! What a guy! Even though he did brutally torture people (though it is technically justified) he did things that are more positive and even more note worthy! In about a 12 year span, Alexander conquered 90% of the known world - now imagine that on your resume! He was definitely a catalyst to his already developing world. Besides that, Alexander did so many other wonderful things to help advance the world. There is much to come about Alexander - after all - we haven't even really started discussing him yet.
