The CEO of Merlin, Nick Varnay, was passionate for the business and had met or exceeded his numbers for the past five years. Varnay also shared the same vision with Baratta that the European attractions and theme-park sector will enter a period of consolidation. Merlin is in a prime position to take advantage of this trend through its experience in acquiring businesses. Surprisingly, Nick advocated for a management incentive package that spread down the organization while taking only a small percentage for himself, further supporting the alignment of management’s and Blackstone’s interests. * Consolidation of theme parks and the benefit of Blackstone’s brand name Before closing the Merlin acquisition, Baratta and Varney had identified a number of specific opportunities, with LEGOLAND as the top priority and most likely for sale.

As stated in book two, “Her [Doña Margarita’s] youngest child was only eleven years old, but he’d been fighting and twisting between the lines of the war for so many years that he was very experienced at the art of holding onto life and not dropping down death’s dark canyon.” (p. 119) Here, we see that even his mother notices that he was forced to grow up faster, in comparison to the average child. Juan had grown up in the time of war, and the forced him to become strong and he definitely kept that mentality of fighting death and holding onto life. Lupe also had to grow up fast because of the war. Although she didn’t have to be a sole supporter for her household, she had to work instead of going to school to help keep their family afloat. We can see her responsibilities start when she’s but a child.
Although both Alexander and Caesar developed leadership qualities at an early age and claimed responsibilities very soon in their lives, they differed in what led to the development of these abilities and how the outcome of these abilities contributed to their legendary status in this generation. Alexander and Caesar depicted extraordinary leadership abilities in terms of intelligence, daring and courage. According to the famous Greek historian, Plutarch, Alexander hosted a Persian delegation that visited Macedonia in absence of his father and impressed them by his intellectual capabilities (235). On another occasion, Roisman and Worthington explain that when Alexander was just ten years old, a horse trader brought a horse and asked Philip and his companions to try to tame it. They all tried and failed.
The fact that it was chosen to become the new capital was a strong influence on the development of Alexandria. In its earliest centuries the city was once the heart of the civilizing world, leading the way in intellect, trade and ethical acceptation. During his conquest over the known world, Alexander the Great temporarily settled in the coastal town of Rhakotis. He was attracted to the town largely due to its brilliant natural harbour that made it an ideal location for a port. From this relatively unimportant settlement Alexander’s vision of a glorious city took form.
A letter that represents the fortuitous beginnings of his life was written by Columbus to Luis de Santangel, a court official and financier of the first voyage (Norton Anthology, P 25, and FN1). In 1493, while at sea, Columbus wrote, “You will be pleased at the great victory with which Our Lord has crowned my voyage…” (Columbus, February 15, 1493, p.25) His discourse regarding the first voyage continues, “I have found many islands filled with people innumerable and of them all I have taken possession for their highnesses…” (Columbus, February 15, 1493, p.25) The fervent tone of his words is obvious. He is filled with pride for accomplishing the goal he had so ardently sought
In the Croesus story, reputation is considered a substantial component of living the good life. Croesus asks Solon whom he believes to be the most fortunate of all people. After Solon states that it was Tellus, Croesus questions him who he considers to have lived the next best life. He asserts that it was the Argives, Cleobis and Biton. In the story, the men drag a cart carrying their mother to the temple.
With this quote, it could be that Bismarck is implying that speeches and majority decisions can never really change someone’s mind, or stop them from rebelling. It is clear that he believes that only war will really bring someone down and solve a lasting problem. What do you think? I agree with this quote to some extent, but in another way I disagree. I agree with the fact that war does usually resolve problems by making it clear what is wanted, and enforcing it physically.
