Question from a reader:
Who do you think Zelensky is most similar to among historical figures? Personally, I have an image of Ashikaga Yoshitake.
Zelensky and Historical Figures
Recently, I was discussing Zelensky with a friend, and the topic came up about which historical figure he resembles in terms of leadership and response to crisis. My friend pointed out the similarities
with Ashikaga Yoshitake, and I couldn’t help but agree that there might be a resemblance in their struggles.
The Struggles of Being Underestimated by the Powerful
Zelensky’s desperation as he seeks help from those around him resonates deeply. We all have moments, whether in work or personal life, when we want to reach out for assistance while making significant decisions. When we find ourselves in situations beyond our control, it’s natural to want to rely on someone else. I completely understand that feeling! Just the other day, I arrived too early for a friend’s wedding and ended up waiting in front of the venue for an hour. In the end, I found myself in a rather odd situation, eating snacks alone before any other guests arrived. I intended to help with the wedding preparations, but it turned out I was the one most relaxed about it all. Through experiences like this, I really feel the importance of connections and mutual support.
Zelensky’s Struggles and Growth
While we may not yet consider Zelensky a “great man,” I believe his attitude and decisions are inspiring courage in many people. Historical figures also started with small steps, and perhaps Zelensky is taking his first steps too. I look forward to seeing how he continues to grow. What do you think? Who do you believe Zelensky resembles among historical figures? Also, feel free to share your moments of needing help or instances when you assisted someone else in the comments! I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
