He learned to read and write while working on the farm.

At twenty-one, Lincoln left home. He soon received a law license and became a lawyer. People trusted him and began to call him “Honest Abe”.

During the following years, he took a more active part in polities. Soon he was not only a highly respected lawyer but also a well-known politician. He was elected the sixteenth president of the United States in 1860, and in the next year the Civil War broke out.

The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales (磅秤). It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale last night, and so, of course, given his customer short weight. Many people would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound, shut up the store, and carried it to the customer. I think that the name, so often given in late times to President Lincoln, of “Honest Old Abe”, was well deserved (应得的).

John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. When he reached the high school age, his hometown offered no high school to the blacks. Luckily, he had a strong-willed (意志坚强的) and patient mother. His mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe.” She told him not to be dependent on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success,” she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
