For all three you have to sell your soul to be successful. The story has been told of a backwoods family who had a tradition for many generations. When their children were about 2 years old they would place money, a Bible, and a bottle of whiskey on the table then point the toddler to it. If the child picked up the Bible first he was to be a preacher. If the whiskey, the family knew they had hard times ahead. And if money, he was surely destined to be a Lawyer. Well this certain generation of this family had been worried about Abe for quite some time, and then the appointed time came for his right of passage. When pointed toward the table with all three items, he walked briskly over and put the roll of bills in his pocket. Then picked the Bible up off the table and put under his left arm..then with his free hands popped the top off the whiskey and took a long drink..His father with a loud gasp exclaimed, "Good Lord, looks like we're gonna have us a politician!"
