I have always liked history. When younger my favourite subjects were ancient states: Egypt, Greece, Roman Empire. In secondary school I wrote some essays on subject ” World War II in my country”. But as I grew older I got more and more interested in people: their life, their thoughts, culture and anthropology. Reading books and articles, watching movies and documentaries about historical personalities is a way how to deal with my interests.
Reading about Mussolini, Hitler and Stalin helped me to understand my boss – kind of dictator – better. Reading about Peter the Great showed me different Europe and way how to do impossible things possible, how to do business. It helps understand both past and today, and even maybe future. I`m just at the beginning of my way through this wide subject. I`m not sure for how long I`ll continue `cause my interests might change with a time.
For now I want to hear your thoughts, dear reader, on this subject. Maybe you have historical personality you got inspired from? And I`m not talking only about politicians or warlords.
