Calvin Coolidge Kept Focus On Integrity Build On Success: Pursuit of honesty helped him ascend to the pinnacle of power one step at a time.(LEADERS & SUCCESS)
Byline: CHARLES OLIVER
For Calvin Coolidge, life was all about the bottom line.
But not just the financial bottom line. His bottom line included personal integrity and frugal, limited government.
That approach made Coolidge, the 30th president, one of the nation's most successful. Under his leadership, America enjoyed peace and tremendous prosperity.
Coolidge (1872-1933) was born in Plymouth Notch, Vt. Growing up on a farm, he was hard at work from an early age, tapping maple trees, shearing sheep, shucking corn and picking apples.
While he was a small boy who suffered from asthma, he didn't complain about the hard labor. He knew that without work his family wouldn't eat or enjoy any other comforts. In fact, he embraced it.
In 1891, Coolidge entered Amherst College in Massachusetts. The painfully shy Coolidge, known as "Silent Cal," struggled to make friends. He knew his shyness was a barrier to happiness and success.
