GRACE UNDER PRESSURE

Wednesday, August 30, 2006

Ernest Hemingway reduced his definition of courage to three words, “Grace under pressure.”

Charles Swindoll has written that Abraham Lincoln had four ways of responding to criticism.

First, and most often, he simply ignored it, calling it “petty.” Second, he answered back only when it was important and would make a difference. Third, he formed the habit of sitting down and writing lengthy letters in defense of his integrity and reputation, venting his anger and emotions…then tearing them up and never mailing them. Fourth, he always looked on the brighter side of life and kept a good sense of humor.
