Teenage Driver Swerves To Avoid Squirrel, Rams Into Abraham Lincoln Ancestry Home, Providing Honest Abe Insights For AI Self-Driving Cars
Honest Abe.
That was the moniker given to our famous statesman and sixteenth president of the United States, namely Abraham Lincoln.
He well-earned the nickname. Furthermore, the catchy phrase became widely known and popularized during his lifetime and of course, was everlasting too. pg
There are plenty of stories about Abe’s honest ways.
Some are large-scale examples and others are seemingly trivial but nonetheless telling. The small ones are ostensibly as important as the big ones if nothing else as evidence that this was a trait that was through-and-through and not merely by happenstance or when the right moment perchance presented itself.
For example, one tale is that when he was working as a store clerk a customer paid for some items and left the store, and upon further reflection, Abe ascertained that the customer had inadvertently been overcharged by six cents. Six cents isn’t much money today, and even back then it wouldn’t have been a fortune, though the fact that the customer was overcharged was the pivotal matter at hand. Apparently, once the store closed for the day, Abe walked several miles to the home of the customer and returned the overpaid six cents.
As they say, honesty is the best policy.
Of course, a cynic might point out that if Abe had not returned the six cents, and if the customer discovered the error on their own, the customer could have made quite a ruckus. And a store in a small town could be nearly put out of business if local customers thought it was some kind of a rip-off operation. In that sense, it was the practical and prudent thing to right away return the overpaid amount, averting a potential for a dire and adverse consequence to the liveliness and survivability of the local store. |
