The Trojan Horse

The Trojan horse is not always a believable story, there are some aspects that are true and some that aren't I have found the the fact that the city was in fact destroyed is in fact a true story, but that the Greeks destroyed it isn't so true. According to nationalgeographic.com the horse did not happen at all, but it could have been a metaphor for Poseidon because the remains show that is could have been destroyed by an earthquake, but it for sure wasn't burnt down.

Great Leaders

The lives of great leaders show a mixture of achievements and setbacks, they show this just through their decisions, the decisions they make in what to do in a situation can either be the greatest thing they do or one of the worst things they do. The thing that is complicated though is that is depends on who you speak with to what they feel are achievements and setbacks. I think that people do think less of leaders who show weakness and encounter failure because it shows that they aren't doing something right which is not something you want to see in a leader. there are many great leaders but two are Franklin D. Roosevelt and Steve Jobs. Roosevelt made the New Deal which in turn brought the United States out of a Depression but also turned the world economy south because everyone's economy's had deteriorated. Steve Jobs developed the electronics world beyond anyone's imagination, he also died at a very young age and could not help keep developing this part of the economy.
