The Legacy of a Great Philosopher
Famous philosopher Plato once said, “Never discourage anyone... who continually makes progress, no matter how slow” (Moncur). Plato believes that you should never discourage someone which also correlates with some of his other philosophies. Although he is known for his great thinkings, there is a lot to learn about his characteristics. Plato and I share many positive attributes such as being leaders and helping others.

Clearly this means that Plato was into math and I also enjoy studying math. Plato was a strong leader. He created the Academy which gave others a great opportunity for an amazing education ( Brickhouse and Smith). I am a good leader too because I was an elected member of the Oakwood Junior High Student Council and step up when someone is in need. I am very happy to say that I share many positive attributes with a such an influential philosopher, but we have differences
