The greatest defence of every human is his mind;when it is captured,the whole temple is vulnerable.

Reading 'profile in audacity' by alan axelrod.
Talks about great historical decision,and how they were made,even in a most precarious of situation.
Julius caesar(the rubicon factor)
Cleopatra and the romans(the decision to save egypt)
Elezabeth 1 and the spanish armanda(the decision to save the nation)
Beethoven and deafness(the decision to overcome)
Edmund hillary and everest(the decision to conquer) etc. .


A great decision always has two characteristics. First,it is a choice between or among high-stakes alternatives. Second,it is a decision that must be made,that cannot be avoided. As Harry S. Truman once observed,"presidents have to make decisions if they're going to get anywhere,and those presidents who couldn't make decisions are the ones who caused all the trouble."
He believed that if a president made wise decision,that was "good for the country," and if he made an unwise one,"that is too bad"-but it was still much better than failing to make any decision at all.

We admire, we aspire; we thresh the earth looking for something we desire. Now that we aquire all that we require,it gets dawn on us that we are yet to achieve success,cus we often build our fortress while leaving others in distress.
