About this Quote

This quote by Sid Waddell is a contrast in between two terrific conquerors, Alexander of Macedon and Eric Bristow. Alexander of Macedon was a terrific conqueror who, at the age of 33, had dominated much of the recognized world. He was so successful that he was stated to have sobbed salt tears since there disappeared worlds to dominate. Eric Bristow, on the other hand, was only 27 and had yet to attain the exact same level of success as Alexander. Waddell is recommending that Bristow has the potential to become a fantastic conqueror like Alexander, but he has yet to reach his full capacity. The quote is a pointer that age is not a barrier to success which great things can be accomplished at any age. It is likewise a suggestion that success is not guaranteed which effort and devotion are required to achieve success.
