Abraham Lincoln was the greatest communicator; he was a speaker and a debater. He would always inspire people every time he spoke.

Also, he would never give up despite the challenges that he had to go through. This is due to the fact that he had the desire to learn, learn and learn.

When he wanted to fight slavery, he appointed his greatest enemy to work with him. He believed in the intellectual capability of his enemy and his ability to put forward the slavery issue that Lincoln was fighting for. He also believed in the idea of choosing the right talent to help achieve his goals.
