Great post. Nice to hear a new angle on Abe. Our history does tend to get into ruts with little inspiring stories, whether true or not, with Lincoln's being tales of perseverance against all odds.

I love the mention of his hat. Between the top hat and his height that must have been one imposing figure. And it occurs to me now that this was the original GTD hat. Why aren't we seeing the giant top hat hack on our GTD sites?

#2 is where we are losing the young people today! A respectful work ethic is what will take you places in life. Waiting for good things wil just leave you waiting!

I live my life by #8. And I don't call them failures, but learning opportunities. When something doesn't work, that just means you must change direction in some way and move on to another idea. It took Edison 10,000 tries (or something like that) to get the light bulb to work. That says something about his persistence and determination.

I really liked this post very much , pretty close to my current state of life , failed in a startup , failed in relationship etc but life is about how you handle your failures to pay way for success and it happens when you have perseverance.
