Whenever you can, when you think that you can do enough damage to him or possibly even cut the head off the snake.

Because if he's bogged down, the Macedonians lose.

If he's dead, the Macedonians lose.

If they lose one, two battles, the Macedonians lose.

No, I think that, and I agree, I mean, we could just keep going on and on.

I feel like we've hardly even scratched the surface of the different arguments that we could make.

I mean, I'd give one piece of encouraging advice to anyone who is a history teacher.

Consider what Levy does is really important, and the idea of

exploring how things could have turned out differently.

When you teach, think about putting yourself in the mindset of, say, for example, a George Washington and what happens if he doesn't keep the Revolutionary Army in the field.

Bring your students into that and always have that mindset that you're putting yourselves in the situation of whoever it is the person is

that you're teaching about.

And what you'll discover is your students really get in touch with what matters and with the drama and the emotions and the dangers of the moment.

And that's the best thing you can do because history is just stories about people like you and me who live before us.

And it's the best stories that teach us the best things.

Oh, it's been wonderful being here.

Thank you so much for asking me to come.
