On Leadership and Popularity:


"If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what's said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference."


- Abraham Lincoln

As it happens, I have someone who can hold his tongue, and I admire him to bits!  If you can do that, you're alot stronger and wiser than I am!  I don't gossip or whine, but I'm very verbal.  I admire someone who can get the message across without a word.  Excellent post, Todd.
