Why does it even make sense to study the biographies of “great people”? Besides the fact that this is, simply put, interesting, besides the fact that it is an effective way to study history, culture, psychology, and much more, it is also simply useful for our practical activities. Firstly, some considerations, thoughts, the practical steps of the “greats” can be directly borrowed. Secondly, we may get reinforcement for our own thoughts, practical steps, etc. that we were not sure were correct. Thirdly, by comparing our own life observations with what we read, in many cases we can be convinced that life is structured naturally, that events are not random, that our observations are not useless. And, thus, strengthen yourself in the idea that life must be observed, that life must be analyzed and understood. Studying the biographies of “great people” makes sense. And even study it repeatedly - life goes on, our experience grows, the tasks facing us change, and what did not resonate in our soul a year ago may well attract our attention today. Not to mention the fact that new people come into history...Leonid Ashkinazi.
