Re: Classic Reg, keeping it classy
Today we need to be grown up and face up to the reality that heroes are often anything but
I'd suggest that the necessary drive and determination to achieve great things almost always means that the doer will be a ruthless bastard in aspects of their personality, and that will always spill over into other behaviours that they won't be lovingly remembered for.
If we're going to have a list of great leaders and high achievers who were all round nice guys or girls it'll be a bloody short list. Who can you think of that fits the bill?
