What are the criteria for judging people?
You'll find the answer in the past from President Lincoln's anecdotes.

President Lincoln's father's job was as a shoe maker.

So the aristocrats at the time were very disappointed that Lincoln was elected president.

It was when Lincoln was about to give his inaugural address to the Senate.
An elderly aristocrat approached 'Lincoln' and said.

"Mr. Lincoln, please don't forget that you happened to be president of this country, but in the past your father would visit us to make our family's shoes. Also, there are many senators here who are wearing the shoes your father made. So don't forget where you come from."

At this point, Lincoln gave a long-lasting answer to everyone's memory in his inaugural address.

"Thank you for making me think of my father right before I gave my first speech. My father was a very wonderful creative craftsman, an artist."

"There is no one in the world who can make more beautiful shoes than my father. I can never surpass him. But I want to tell you one thing."

"My father's shoes don't fit your feet very well, so tell me, I have some skills he has learned from you. I am not a good shoe maker, but I can at least repair your shoes. Just contact me, and I will run to your house at any time."

Senators who heard this ingenious speech learned what the true "value of personality" was and fell silent as they felt ashamed of themselves.

"Pride is the vanguard of defeat, and arrogance is the forerunner of falling."
