Abraham Lincoln
On his first day in office as President of United
States of America entered the
hallowed chamber to give his Inaugural Address.
A Rich Aristocrat stood up and said: "Mr. Lincoln,
you should not forget to tell us that your father
used to make shoes for my family"....And the
whole Senate laughed. They thought they had
made a fool of Lincoln... But certain people are
made of a totally different gene.
Lincoln looked at the man directly in the eyes
and said:
"Sir, I know that my father used to make shoes
for your family, and there will be many others
here too, because he made shoes the way
nobody else can. He was a creator. His shoes
were not just ordinary shoes cos he poured his
whole soul into them. I want to ask you, have
you any complaint? Because I know how to make
shoes myself. If you have any complaint, I can
make you another pair of shoes. But as far as I
know, nobody has ever complained about my
father's shoes. He was a genius, a great creator
and I am proud of my father".
The whole senate was dumbstruck. They could
not understand what kind of man Abraham
Lincoln was. He was proud because his father did
his job so well that not even a single complaint
had ever been heard.
Remember, no one can hurt us without our
consent.
It is not what happens to us that hurts us, it is
our response that hurts us. There are people out
there whose only job is to hurt others. Don't give
them a reason to have so much work on their
hands. I pray that after reading this piece LET no man on this earth ever intimidate u or whatsoever. Be proud of who u are and never ever be like someone .
May your days be blessed.
May all ur days be blessed
