On
his first day in the office, the President Abraham Lincoln entered in
the hall to give his inaugural address. One rich Aristocrat stood up and said, "Mr. Lincoln, you should not forget 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 mettle.
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, because he made shoes the way nobody else can."
He
was a creator. His shoes were not Just shoes. 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 struck dumb.The 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 hurt us. It is our response that hurt us".
