Theodore Roosevelt, who is familiar to us, was the 26th President of the United States (in office from 1901 to 1909), born in New York in 1858 to a family of bankers, and attended Harvard University and then Columbia University. After entering the political arena, he served as the chief of police in New York City, the deputy secretary of the Navy, and the vice president. In 1901, he succeeded the assassinated President McKinsey as the 26th president at the age of 42, the youngest president in U.S. history, and three years later he was re-elected in a formal presidential election.
During his tenure, he presided over the excavation of the Panama Canal, known as "one of the seven engineering wonders of the world", shortening the distance between the east and west coasts of the United States by 8,000 kilometers, and during his presidency, the policy of "carrots and sticks" pursued was sought after by American politicians. Not only that, during his tenure, the US economy took off, and he made great contributions to the United States' entry into the 20th century, which held a very high status in the hearts of the American people, and was also remembered by the world for its unique personality, along with Lincoln, the founding father of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding three masters, and George Washington, the founding father, and carved his head on the US President's Hill. At the same time, he mediated the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, thus winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906, becoming the first American to receive this honor.
Theodore Roosevelt was always full of optimism, and failure in the face of difficulties did not make him give in, but used it as a stepping stone to encourage himself. When Roosevelt was the chief of the New York Police Department, a thief who did not know the height of the sky sneaked into his home and stole a lot of valuable things, which could be a big haircut, which made people look at the face of a police chief, and it was embarrassing that friends wrote letters to "comfort" him. Roosevelt decided not to reply to his friends one by one, but to write an open letter as a reply.
"Thank you for your letter to comfort me, I am safe now. Thank God. Because: first, the thief stole what I had and did not harm my life; second, the thief stole only some of my things, not all of it; Third, and most thankfully, it was he, not me, who was the thief. ”
From this small matter, Roosevelt's optimistic attitude is fully discounted, which makes people can't help but feel good.
