What is Past is Prologue

Before this series concludes, though, let me ask the Yankees a question, especially you young-ins. What was the difference between Alexander the Great and his greatest generals?

HInt: It wasn’t strength, or size, or skill.

No, it was belief. Leading the same army left behind after Alex’s father, Phillip died, any one of his generals might have led those Myrmidon-like warriors to magnificent victories.

But only Alexander believed he, and they could realize dreams undreamt of by mortal men. Only he knew for certain he could conquer worlds no one had heretofore conquered, powered by superhuman feats.

Before he accomplished any goals, before he was tested in battle, he already knew he would win. And it’s his belief that helped create a legend.
