The innocence of youth! Castro, for those who aren't old enough to remember, tried to export revolution across Central and South America. His second in command, Che Gueverra, was killed trying to lead a revolution in Bolivia. Castro's army invaded Angola in the mid 70's.

could have been thought by many to be a Janusian moment. But obviously it wasn't as it didn't quite work out that way. Why on earth did Castro think he could improve on Russia exporting a revolution ?

A sportsman taken into a work context might concentrate more on team working and instilling belief in themselves and their cause.
Ask a sportsman what the point of being a 100m runner is, he might answer that he enjoys it, feels he attains something when a PB has been beaten. Ask a worker and he might suggest getting a motorbike if he wants to go faster..
As for politicians, I think they are born (unless you can think of any that have taken the Janusian route)?
