Alexander of Macedon

Until his early death at the age of 33, Alexander the Great was known throughout the world as a great leader and commander who succeeded in conquering vast parts of the world. Like him, you also have the qualities of leadership and the ability to conquer goals with relative ease, which makes you a self-confident person. Besides, your personal charm makes many people want to be close to you and even admire your unique character that can’t be found everywhere.

Napoleon Bonaparte

The great French commander managed to conquer many targets despite the low chances he was given to do so, all thanks to his far-reaching strategic thinking. Like Napoleon, you can see ahead not because of prophetic qualities but because of progressive and revolutionary thinking that allows you to experience more successes than failures. You know what you want and are willing to do what it takes to achieve it, which makes you sometimes isolated, but you can also achieve successes that not many can.

Nelson Mandela

Library of the London School of Economics and Political Science

The great African leader spent 27 years in various prisons, where he continued to develop and nurture his unique worldview. Like Nelson Mandela, you too have a patient character and the ability to wait a long time to see your efforts bear fruit. You are a compassionate, peace-loving, simple person - three qualities that make people get carried away by you and want to adopt your unique attitude to life, where you can achieve more things with positivity than negativity.

Moses

Moses led the Israelites in the desert for 40 years, and in the end, he could not even enter the land to which he led them. Moses’ was not quick to accept this role of a leader, and like him, you sometimes find it difficult to see the positive aspects of yourself, the ones that make people give you responsibilities. You are an unselfish person who is often willing to sacrifice your desires for purposes that are not necessarily self-satisfying, so it is no wonder that people want to spend time with you and enjoy your both humble and fascinating nature.

Sun Tzu

The true identity of the leader Sun Tzu is a mystery, and to this day it is not clear when he lived exactly and what it was he actually did. One thing is certain, and that is the effect of his famous book "The Art of War" on leaders and people from all over the world throughout the years. His words in this unique book, which can be applied to any field of life, reflect the power of the word, the power you have. You have a sharp mind and sharp tongue, and through short and precise sentences you manage to attract people around you and at the same time keep an air of mystery that intrigues them.
