Who and Where you are today result from your attitude?

I read a funny story about President Abraham Lincoln that shows the relationship between our choices and their effect on who we are. An adviser to Lincoln recommended a particular person for a cabinet position, but Lincoln balked at the suggestion. He said " I don't like the man's face". "But Sir," said the adviser, " He can't be held responsible for his face." Lincoln replied, " Every man over forty is responsible for his face".... Who we are and how you think can be read in your face too. When you look in a mirror, if you see a sour expression, you're seeing the outward expression of your attitude. Your attitude not only directs your future but also affects who you are today.

that is indeed funny, but so true... i thought the adviser was making a good comment saying that 'he can't be held responsible for his face'. i was about to take side with the adviser.. but what President Lincoln said was an undeniable fact.. thanks for sharing... blessings..
