Crossing the rubicon

“Crossing the Rubicon” is a metaphor for deliberately proceeding past a point of no return. The phrase originates with Julius Caesar’s seizure of power in the Roman Republic in 49 BC. Roman generals were strictly forbidden to bring their troops into the home territory of the Republic in Italy. On 10 January, Caesar led his army across the Rubicon River, crossing from the province of Gaul into Italy. After this, if he did not triumph, he would be executed. Therefore the term “the Rubicon” is used as a synonym to the “point of no return”.

There are certain steps have to be taken at right time and right place. Julius Caesar took an initiative even if he had less forces and it did pay off. If you hesisate your position may become more risky. So crossing the Rubicon means that there is no turning back from your decision. But quick decisions saves time. Time is once again our most valuable element in decision making. As our heroic leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk suggests that confront the enemy as soon as possible and ahead without looking at the size of your force. By doing that marching enemy immediately be stopped because they will hesisate and try to understand your strenght. By doing that you save time for reinforcements to come to support you and aşso ypu gather information about the enemy marching on to you. You shall be death but the important thing is the time that you have gained for reinforcements. One brave step seemed small but great advantages gained by this act.
