A Tip from the President

5 dollar bill 

Actually – 5 tips from Abraham Lincoln16th President of the United States, who was born on this day in 1809. 

Lincoln left us with many words of wisdom  that can help those of us who want to be better managers…those of us who want to get 2 goal…those of us who feel pressed by 2 little time.

Here are our top five favorite quotes from Abraham Lincoln:

1.  “Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”

2.  “Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends with them?”

3.  “You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.”                 

4.  “In the end  it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.” 

5.  “You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish,  if you can hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.”
