I may say that Napoleon is the Icon in terms of politics. Like what you said Antonio, he searched of more power, he was not contented, but he used it in a manner that could help France. Although, some people may see it in a different perspective, the efforts of Napoleon seems to work. His outstanding leadership brings Paris to what it is at present.

I agree with you on your idea about Napoleon, I mean he wasn’t known internationally for nothing! Though he may have done a few off ideas, you still cannot put aside the great works he has done especially for France. His leadership and his vision was excellent, and the fact that his code of laws became the foundation of existing French laws tell you something about his leadership and his influential rule over France.

I was able to study a little bit about Paris when I was studying there a couple of years back. Among all the political icons of Paris that I have read and studied about, my favorite would be hands down Napoleon Bonaparte. Though it seemed like he was a mad man in search of more and more power, you still have to hand it to him for his excellent leadership. To others, his ambitions and dreams seemed far fetch but to him he considered it as goals that like anything else can be achieved with hard work. That to me speaks of incredible character and something we should all admire, his life teaches me not to settle for mediocrity, instead always aim high.
