Napoleon Bonaparte birthday celebrations should occur today, if that is your thing.

Born August 15, 1769 Napoleon Bonaparte is remembered as an emperor, politician, and French general.

What does he have to say to us today?

Do his thoughts still hold true?

Let’s see!

Sometimes coming to conclusions when you have lots of information to filter isn’t easy, but it is an important skill. Napoleon is quoted as saying, “Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.”

Don’t stay frozen sitting on the fence. Take action. “Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in,” said Nopoleon Bonaparte.

Shake it up to stay fresh and competitive! “One must change one’s tactics every ten years if one wishes to maintain one’s superiority,” he said.

Let it go when day’s done. There is wisdom in recognizing that what’s past is past: “Throw off your worries when you throw off your clothes at night.”

The most dangerous and elusive enemy we have is the clock. Another bauble from Bonaparte is, “Throw off your worries when you throw off your clothes at night.”

Women are inferior? Oh mercy, if Napoleon Bonaparte really said this, he would have a hard time finding dates in today’s society: “Women are nothing but machines for producing children.”

Like all strong personalities, Napoleon is alternately revered and reviled according to your point of view.

The only thing everyone might agree on is something non-controversial like that he was born. LOL!!

Napoleon Bonaparte– great general or great jerk because he’s said to find women, as a group, to be less than men?

I’ll let you decide how we regard him today.

It was a bit uncomfortable being in the theater that day Read the full story
