“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
William Shakespeare is traditionally believed to have been born on April 23, 1564, and to have died on the same date in 1616. He may have succumbed to the “birthday effect,” a phenomenon where the risk of death appears to increase on one’s birthday. Suggested explanations include heightened reckless behavior and misadventures due to excessive drinking.
Very interesting!
