When you face a problem impossible to solve, you may need some wisdom or clear
thinking to help solve it.
You may need an idea that cut through the confusion.
In other words you may need bold thinking to cut through that "Gordian knot "
"Gordian knot" is a term that comes from ancient times.
A wise man had once foretold that the city 's new king would be the next man to arrive in a wagon.
When the peasant Gordius and his wife rode into that city in a cart pull by an oxen, Gordius was
proclaimed king of the city and the city was named Gordium.
The wise man's prediction had come true.
Gordius then tied the pole that connected the oxen's yoke to his wagon using an intricate knot.
According to legend, the man who could untied the complicated loop would rule over Asia.
In 333 BCE, Alexander the Great was marching into an area that is now a part of Turkey.
