Did you know Alexander the Great conquered an empire before age thirty-two?
First, Aristotle taught Alexander philosophy, science, and literature before he became king.
Second, as a teenager, Alexander personally tamed Bucephalus, a horse others feared.
Third, at twenty, he inherited Macedonia and launched his invasion of Persia.
Fourth, Alexander never lost a recorded battle, defeating larger forces through speed and surprise.
Fifth, he founded Alexandria in Egypt, which became a major learning center.
So his empire came before thirty-two: victories and cities outlasted Alexander's brief life.
