Abraham Lincoln
My father used to tell me, “When Abraham Lincoln was your age, Abraham Lincoln had a job. When Abraham Lincoln was your age, he walked twelve miles to get to school.”
I said, “Dad, when Abraham Lincoln was your age, he was President, okay?”
Someone is trying to buy us out
The chief executive officer of an electronics company called in his public relations director. “Listen, Wilson. Someone is trying to buy us out. It’s your job to get the price of our stock up so it’ll be too expensive for them. I don’t care how you do it, just do it.” And he did.
When asked how, he replied, “I started a rumor Wall Street obviously liked.”
“What was that?”
“I told them you were resigning.”

Made For Something More
“Identity” is a buzz word in our world – that question of what makes us who we are. The world tells us our identity is determined by a bunch of different factors, including:

- How we feel, and
- What others expect us to be.
But if you’ve tried to define yourself based on those factors, you know they’re ultimately hollow; they shift around like sand, leaving us with nothing solid to hold on to.

They Are Jealous
Pete was telling a friend that he had just lost his job. “Why did the foreman fire you?” the friend asked in surprise.
