Obviously, to defend the precious freedom closely related to our lives, I believe each of us should pick up weapons without hesitation—this should be the last resort." Ford's overly merciful nature made him unable to become a decisive and resolute president. Compared to many of his predecessors, Bush Jr. appeared simpler and more ordinary. Perhaps, it was precisely because the era he lived in was simple and ordinary that Bush Jr. ultimately became the President of the United States. Washington, with his tenacious perseverance and thirst for knowledge, continuously enriched himself through self-study, ultimately becoming the Father of America and shaping himself into a world leader. Abraham Lincoln, in addition to his indomitable, persistent, and forward-striving spirit, also built a solid foundation for his success with his noble virtues of compassion for the weak and selfless kindness. Later American leaders had to find a balance between the thoughts of the second president, Adams, and the third president, Jefferson, between elite politics and popular politics, to secure a peaceful and prosperous path of freedom. In school, Bush Jr.'s natural talent was nurtured by his competitive personality. In his spare time, he was active in various social settings, making many friends.
