答案 "I don’t like that man. I must get to know him better." This remark of Abraham Lincoln is quite interesting. It advises us to know others more before making a judgement quickly. Strange as it may sound, I think this saying makes sense. If we refuse to know a person better only because we don’t like him in some aspects, such as his appearance or dressing style, we may abandon the chance of making friends with a noble person and lose valuable assets. Abraham Lincoln himself is a case in point. When Lincoln was campaigning for presidency, his opponent Stanton often humiliated him in public. But Lincoln still tried hard to know the strengths and weaknesses of this opponent. When Lincoln became president, he asked Stanton to join his Cabinet, who proved to be a very helpful official. If Lincoln had refused to know Stanton better, he would never get such a talent to help him. In conclusion, it’s quite irrational to make arbitrary judgments about others before we get a better understanding about them. Knowing others takes much time and is not always easy, but it’s worth it.
