This historical drama has been telling the story of the Second Founding Father and his wife and children. In contrast, the Founding Father Washington has very few scenes, and the Third Father Jefferson has not many plays. After reading it, you will find that this second master is actually very frustrated and useless. When the United States fought the War of Independence, he went around Europe asking for help, and he didn't get any big credit for it. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he did not become the first president, but became the first vice president. He was the first to try what is called "the fifth wheel on a carriage". He himself complained: "Our country serves me." Designed a position that is beyond human imagination and can be called the most insignificant position in the history of human invention." Later, he finally took over as the second president. It seemed to be beautiful, but he actually took over a hot yam from Washington because of the new birth at the time. The United States is struggling with the war between Britain and France. There are great differences within the government. At this time, sitting in the position of president is undoubtedly jumping into the fire pit. During his tenure, the newly born America avoided being involved in that war. It was not a small contribution, but few people understood that the limelight could not overshadow the thriving Jefferson, which caused a lot of scolding, and finally quit the talk.
The founding father Jefferson was a true genius. He was the first Secretary of State of the United States, the second vice president, the third president, the father of the University of Virginia, and the main drafter of the Declaration of Independence. The point is that this is not over yet! You go to Wikipedia to check it, and you will find that there are a bunch of titles after his name, which is not inferior to another genius-Leonardo da Vinci ("Versatile painter, fable, sculptor, inventor, philosopher , Musicians, medical scientists, biologists, geographers, construction engineers and military engineers"). For ordinary people, making the same contribution in a certain field has "no regrets in this life", and these two geniuses have made considerable contributions in the same field, which is beyond expectation. ! No wonder John F. Kennedy said at a dinner for 49 Nobel Prize winners: "I think the White House has gathered the most talent and human knowledge tonight-perhaps regardless of when Jefferson was eating here alone. "
Coincidentally, Adams and Jefferson both died on July 4th on the 50th anniversary of the founding of the United States. The former was only a few hours later than the latter. These two people were really born for America! In the dark, it seems that God is deliberately attached to the United States, allowing it to have such sages in power at the beginning of the country, and the system they have created will benefit future generations for life!
Compare with the founding fathers of your country (this matter cannot be described in detail), you will find that a person's greatness does not depend on how much power he has, but how he knows when he has such a great power Limit your power. Abuse of power is common to everyone, almost no need to learn, because people are naturally greedy, and how to limit power is a kind of broad wisdom. Plato said it well: "To measure a person is to look at what he does when he has power."
