Only one guy said he was lower then average while the rest say he was of average height. The first line of the article clearly states this you fucking mongoloid.

>His person is below middle size.

>Joseph Farington (The Farington Diary, New York: G.H. Doran, 1923-8) in 1802 observed Napoleon close up
One persons account of Napoleon doesn't mean jack shit when it's confirmed he was average height at the time.

Please kys you autistic anglotard.

Not him but he was wounded twice during his career. First time as a captain during the siege of Toulon and second as an emperor during the battle of Ratisborn.

As a supreme commanderNapoleon usually avoided mortal danger, but there were situations when he found himself at risk. He almost got killed in Italy in 1796 during battle of Arcole, it's almost a miracle he wasn't hit.

>>2613922
I'm asking for a source that Napoleon fought in Napoleonic battles. I don't see any sources. Maybe you're just wrong?

This is legitimately, absolutely true.

If you want to be fucking great, you have to, to some degree, give up "normal" life, and even dreams of normal life. You have to make the things the average person wants--a stable job, a loving spouse, children, cool and interesting social events--secondary things. They have to be useless to you. You have to shunt all the things normal people crave out of your life in the name of pursuing greatness in your field.

You also probably have to be a genius, but natural ability is only part of the story. You have to be willing to forsake the normal world and walk the untrod paths. This is the secret to every great man, whether he's an emperor, a saint, an artist, or a philosopher.

I spout 'head in the clouds' talk at work. Always have a new, edgy path charted out. Coworker called me out on it. "Trick is going out there and doing it". I sputtered. I see other older guys ending up doing nothing with their lives, and here I am, 35yo, it's happening. Need a trigger, non-anhero.

He chased an old woman and she rejected him.

>But when Stefanie, as happened just as often, coldly ignored his gaze, he was crushed and ready to destroy himself and the whole world

>Stefanie's maiden name, Isak, sounds Jewish, although she was not Jewish.

If only she had just gone on a date with him.

>>2615360
he only had to ask

Fight as in a soldier? He was a commander, and leader of a nation, he chose to avoid high risks, and yet he got injured, yet he was present in the battlefield.

>>2612695
All those boys who chose to chase girls fought and died in his name, being forever buried and forgotten in the ruins of his dream.

>>2613928
After he became Emperor, the best I can think of is him staying with his staff in the firing range of russian guns at Eylau.

>>2613945
I wonder how many people do this only to realize they are average. Nobody would write books about them, they'd just be forgotten.

It's an incredible risk to take and relies on a lot of faith in your abilities.
