ExclusiveInspiring Leadership_ Lessons from a Great Motivational Quote

That's just a great motivational quote, not necessarily political. But it really says, what does it mean to be a leader? Should you be because you're powerful or you can force people to do things? No, if you could inspire others to be better themselves, to dream and to learn. And I think he got that example from his father, who, rather than telling him to do things, inspired him to be a great reader, to be a writer. He inspired him to start journaling at the age of 13, and he kept a journal to the end of his days. He also said, try and fail, but don't fail to try. That sounds like a more eloquent version of the famous Yoda speech from Star Wars. Do or do not, there is no try. But it's very true, and it's very indicative of what he did. He didn't always succeed. I mean, most of the things he tried to put past Congress were turned down. But that didn't keep him from passing more things. He just kept trying, because he felt it was more of a failure to not even try. And finally, he said, always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest retention that your vote is never lost. That reflects his own political background, in that he often was against members of his own political party, because he didn't want to just go with the popular vote or do what everybody else was saying.
