None Can Hurt Us Without Our Consent

On his first day in office, as President Abraham Lincoln entered to deliver

his inaugural address, a man stood up- he was a rich aristocrat.

He said, "Mr. Lincoln, you should not forget that your father used to make

shoes for my family".

The whole senate laughed, they thought they had made a fool of Lincoln.

But certain people are made of a totally different mettle.

Lincoln looked at the man directly into his eyes and said:

"Sir, I know that my father used to make shoes for your family,

and there will be many others like you, because he made shoes

in a way nobody else could. He was a creator.

His shoes were not just shoes. He poured his soul into them.

I want to ask you, have you any complaint about his work?

And because I know how to make shoes myself, I can make you another pair.

As far as I know, nobody has ever complained about my father's shoes.

He was a genius and I am proud of my father".

The whole senate was dumb-struck.

They could not comprehend Lincoln's personality.

Remember: None Can Hurt Us Without Our Consent.

It's not what happens to us that hurt us..

It's our response to a situation or stimulus that hurt us.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more,

do more and become more, you are a leader.

Our ATTITUDE determines our ALTITUDE

Thanking you,
