Lincoln Leadership Lessons
Lincoln
Leadership Lessons
Every Success Story is also a story of
great Failures
This was a man who failed in business at
the age of 21,
Was defeated in a legislative race at
22,
Failed again in business at 24,
Overcame a death of his sweet heart at
26,
Had a nervous breakdown at 27,
Lost a congressional race at 34,
Lost a senatorial race at 45,
Failed in an effort to become vice
president at 47,
Lost a senatorial race at 49,
And was elected as the president of
United States of America at 52,
This was Abraham
Lincoln…
Would you call him a failure ?
He could have quit, But to Lincoln –
Defeat was a detour, and not a dead end.
The next time you find disappointment
and failure staring you in the face, think of Lincoln. In fact, think like him.
His life and his words of wisdom could be excellent allies as you prepare to
embark on your journey to greatness.
1.
‘I am a slow walker, but I never walk
backwards.’ We all tend to worry about our
inadequacies. We are concerned that we are not good enough. The trick is to
focus not on how good you are, but on getting better. It is a good idea to
ensure that you are moving towards your goal at all times. You may make slow
progress but make sure you re making progress at all times.
2.
‘I will study and get ready, and perhaps
my chance will come.’ Someone once said that the luck is
what happens when preparation meets opportunity. If you sometimes feel that
Lady Luck is not smiling on you, may be it’s because you are not preparing hard
enough. The opportunity is there, but you are not quite ready to grab it. Don’t
let that happen. Work hard. Your time will come.
3.
‘Whatever you are, be a good one.’ Your dream must not merely focus on becoming something – but on being
good at whatever you choose to do. Whether you are a salesman or a software
programmer, be a good one! Too often, we spend all our waking hours dreaming of
being someone else or doing something else. Whatever you do, do it well.
4.
‘I do not think much of a man who is not
wiser today than he was yesterday.’
Learning is never-ending. Stay focused on learning new skills, new tricks. You
probably are busy pouring over word lists and learning the meanings of new
words as you prepare for an entrance exam. The exam will come and go, but the
habit should stay forever. Remain curious about learning new words and
expanding your vocabulary. It’s not about the words- it’s about the habit of
learning.
