Alexander the Great

Greatness is relative: even Caesar and Edison felt behind

Shaan draws the lesson that no matter how successful you are, comparison never ends: Edison felt behind looking at Faraday, and Caesar despaired looking at a statue of Alexander the Great. There is always a bigger, faster version of you.

“No matter who you are, no matter how much you've made it, you sort of— you can always— it's all relative. You'll always find the bigger, badder, faster, uh, you know, version of you.”
