Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
Emerson
Caesar was different than leaders before him in the fact that he strove to prove himself through innovative means. Instead of following the conventional paths of major Roman political figures before him, Caesar undertook tasks that set him apart from his contemporaries and predecessors. He proved his ingenuity through means seldom seen before; his feats of engineering (the bridge he mentions in his writings), his treatment of men who had once fought against him (Brutus, during the Civil War), and his ambitious conquests (Gaul and Britain) distinguished Caesar as a man of insurmountable vision. Caesar was definitely a leader who rejected the path well-worn and instead chose to forge his own destiny.
