Population Growth

I reflected on a social‑media commentary that linked Napoleon, Steve Jobs, Vladimir Putin and Joan of Arc through their habit of barely eating. The author highlighted minimal eating as a signal of intense focus or obsession, quoting Napoleon’s claim “If you want to dine quickly, dine with me” and noting he would finish dinner in 15 minutes to return to work. Steve Jobs was said to have periods of eating only apples for months, while Putin reportedly limited himself to “a boiled egg a day”. Joan of Arc was included in the group, though no specific anecdote was provided.
