Friends who study western history will be deeply impressed by American politician, strategist and 16 President Lincoln. His most famous event was the abolition of black slavery in the United States during his term of office. This result has a great influence. The United States is mainly divided into white races and black races, but blacks in that period were completely under the rule and oppression of whites, and there was no freedom at all, and countless blacks were persecuted and killed.

First, never give up.

Lincoln's road to the presidency is extremely difficult and dangerous. There are countless setbacks in his life. He failed in the election eight times, failed in business twice and even had a nervous breakdown, but he never gave up. Lincoln was driven out of his place of residence at first, and then his mother died. Later, he failed in business, lost the parliamentary election, and his fiancee died suddenly. Fortunately, however, Lincoln finally won the presidential nomination, which shows that his life is full of thorns and obstacles.

Second, Lincoln's integrity.

Lincoln was a grocery store clerk when he was a teenager. Whenever the customer pays more, no matter how far the customer's address is, he will return the extra money to the customer. If the goods sold are short of Jin and Liang, he will send the goods short of Jin and Liang to the customer's home regardless of the distance, even if the snow closes the mountain and the flood growls. Therefore, he won the favor of nearby villagers. As an adult, he became a lawyer, regardless of rank, only defending the just side, without taking a penny. He is honest and trustworthy.

Third, be good at controlling emotions.

One day, Lincoln's subordinates found him and accused him of favoring some people, which made him very angry. Lincoln said, you can scold him or write him a sharp reply. Hearing this, the subordinate suddenly realized, yes, I didn't expect it, so I began to write a response to that person. Just as the man was about to put it in an envelope and send it, Lincoln stopped him and said? It is often unwise for a person to act impulsively when he is angry? Burn it and write a second letter. This story tells us to face things calmly and never be impulsive.
