For some reason, in my middle age, I've grown curious about the US Presidents, and often read their biographies. I read with a highlighter in hand to capture quotes I love. Here’s one I love!
“I am slow to learn and slow to forget that which I have learned. My mind is like a piece of steel, very hard to scratch any thing on it and almost impossible after you get it there to rub it out.” —Abraham Lincoln
I subscribe to the idea that you teach what you need to learn. In both parenting and organizing I teach and train so I can remember and learn. Sometimes I feel bad about myself, like I'm a big old fraud with my nagging ways and messy desk, but then I read this quote and think . . . I just need more review, like Old Honest Abe.
