Learning a bit about Lincoln as a boy, would make these 3 reasons why he was \u201cgreat\u201d so clear. In fact, if you have ever seen someone just<strong> NOT<\/strong> give up, then you know full well that they are destined for greatness. There are tons of details to his life, but he was raised poor, didn\u2019t know how to read, and he continued to fail at everything he did when it came to getting elected for office. Finally, the day came, and no more failure. Lincoln had it in him to be great, and ultimately, the people had no choice \u00a0but to agree!<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Lincoln respected all views<\/strong>. If you were to think about how Lincoln handled political parties, you would realize that yes, he treated everyone the same. His goal was to avoid division, and naturally because he was working to keep the North together, the South together, and abolish slavery to keep all people together, he was well respected. The core of his <a href=\"https:\/\/empowernetwork.com\/blog\/category\/leadership\/\">leadership<\/a> was unity, and that is another great quality of one that holds the office of the President!<\/p>\n<p>3. <strong>He was self made<\/strong>. It has been said that the true millionaires are those that are self made, not handed their parent\u2019s fortune, right? Lincoln decided that ultimately, he was responsible for learning how to read, and becoming who he wanted to be. As a result, he chose to work on those things so that is what he could do. How many of you would make your passion your sole focus to the point where you just created your life, the way you wanted it?
