The famous English playwright William Shakespeare wrote a play about Richard Ill, a king who ruled England from 1483 to 1485.In the play, Richard is portrayed as an evil man who secretly orders the death of his two young nephews. There has been some controversy over whether Shakespeares portrayal of Richard Ill is historically accurate. However, many historians agree that the real Richard Ill did in fact have his nephews killed. This view has been supported by several arguments.
First, Richard had a strong motive to kill his nephews. The nephews were the sons of the previous king, Edward IV, who had died. They, not Richard were next in line to become king. Richards desire to be king was well known; but he could become king only if the nephews were removed. Just that happened. Shortly after Richard was appointed as the boys guardian, they disappeared, never to be seen again. With his access to the children, Richard could have easily arranged to have them murdered and so achieve his ambition to become king.
Second, it was not only Shakespeare who took the View that Richard was guilty. Most writers at the time maintained that Richard Ill plotted his nephews disappearance. Foremost among these writers was the famous historian Sir Thomas More. In his History of King Richard the third, More stated that it ascertain that Richard had ordered the deaths of his nephews.
Third, there is even physical evidence supporting the view that the boys were killed while In Richard’s care In the 1600s two skeletons were found at the Tower of London-the place where Richard had the nephews housed. These skeletons belonged to children approximately the same age as Richards nephews when they disappeared.

We’ve been discussing business strategiesand the attitudes of businesspeople toward riskand opportunity. The scientist Albert Einsteinonce said that a person who never made amistake never tried anything new.He wasprobably referring to physics, but l wonder howthis attitude might apply to the business world.Do you think it is a good business strategy totake continual risks even though they mightresult in mistakes that could affect a companynegatively?
Paul
I think this strategy can easily backfire on a businessperson. I’ve seen companies conduct endless cycles of product enhancements in an effort to capture some other market share. But in reality, they just damage their own brand by sacrificing too much of the original content that made the product in the first place.
Claire
I disagree with Paul. Most profitable businesses have used the strategy, or they would never made it to the top. lf you want to grow a business aggressively, some mistakes along the way are inevitable. Too much caution or too much emphasis on avoiding mistakes can really prevent growth.
