Take a lesson from Lincoln. Know your weaknesses, anticipate situations out in the field where you might be susceptible to them and develop savvy strategies to keep them from holding you back. This kind of thinking is what sets the Lincolns of the world apart!
Washington refused to pander to constituents. He had zero problems making unpopular decisions as long as they were in the country's best interests. Take the Whiskey Tax. Tax increases are about as popular as the legendary and mostly fictitious Farquharson-Tedesco polka band. Yet Washington's vision of creating a healthy, stable nation depended on better funding.
