British admiral Jackie Fisher (1841-1920) said there were four things for a ‘big life’. What were they?
Answer: In the early years of the last century, legendary British Admiral Jackie Fisher revolutionised the Royal Navy.
Brilliant and unconventional, his letters and notes were littered with multiple under-linings and exclamation marks; he would sign letters with valedictions such as ‘yours ‘til hell freezes over’.
He was a remarkable visionary, and a real eccentric.
In typical flamboyant but astute fashion, Fisher said there were four things needed for, what he termed, ‘a big life?’
One. A great Inspiration.
Two. A great Cause.
Three. A great Battle.
Four. A great Victory.
