THIRD THINKER



Quote 24: “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.” – Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln’s quote remains timeless because power is an eternal test—not just for the powerful, but for all of us. Adversity shapes us, but power defines us. Whether in leadership, business, or personal life, how we handle authority reveals our deepest values. The real challenge isn’t gaining power—it’s keeping our humanity intact while holding it.

Quote 22: "It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently." – Tony Robbins
One workout won’t make you fit.
One day of work won’t make you successful.
One act of kindness won’t define your character.
