The Fall of Great Empires

My dad loves his history. One thing he likes to point out is how the greatest empires in history have all fallen. Consider, the Egyptian, Persian, Ottomans, Mongols, Byzantine, USSR, Roman, British Empires and a bunch of others. At the time of their reign it seemed like they were unstoppable beasts that would never falter.

Big companies also do not sustain their position forever, and with the Internet the world is moving faster.

This lack of a constant might be slightly depressing but I quite like the world this way. It is from this chaos that we adapt and opportunities arise.

The world is interesting because no one (even people/companies that seem big and confident) really knows what they are doing and everyone is making it up as they go along. The only thing that matters is that you have confidence in what you are making up and aim to make something big enough. So let the games begin :-).
