The teacher was Aristotle and the student was Alexander.
Aristotle being a wise sage, ask Alexander, about his ambition.
Alexander told him that, he would like to conquer the world.
Aristotle pursued him further on his ambitions.
Alexander told him that he will conquer Asia Minor, Asia Major then the whole world.
Aristotle, ask him "what will he do, after that."
Alexander proclaims that he will enjoy the luxury of life and enjoy quality life with his family.
Aristotle asked him to do it now, as he will be king of Macedonia. As for Aristotle, it is the end that makes the means.
Alexander was dissatisfied. He wanted to pursue on.
So, Alexander took over Asia Minor and proclaim himself Alexander the Great.
Later, he tried to take over Asia Major.
On his war expedition in India, he succumbs to Malaria at age 49.
Alexander the Great left a legacy, but with a hefty price to pay.
Moral of the story: Neither be too foolish or too wise, for both die young.
Be Bless,
Dr. Lion.
