Barack Obama is not just an amazing orator, he is a compelling writer too

His recent self-help article is packed with stories of his time as POTUS and learnings that are timeless. Here are the best quotes from him.

“every tough decision came down to a probability, then certainty was an impossibility — which could leave me encumbered by the sense that I could never get it quite right.”

“…one of the risks of soliciting views from a large group is that a current of thinking can quickly take shape and move everybody in the same direction. Having at least one contrarian in the room pushed us all to think harder..”

“Whatever decision I might be carrying would breathe a little — and so would I.”

“…we bring our whole selves to the decisions we make. And those decisions, in turn, both reflect and determine who we are.”
