Eisenhower's Ability to "Sneer" a Powerful Motivator
By the time Dwight David Eisenhower was first elected president in 1952, he was already 62 years old. Despite this, he had had a relatively unremarkable health history. A 1923 appendectomy left him with a predilection to develop lesions between the lining of the abdominal cavity and the scar. In 1949, his doctor told him to cut down on his four-pack-a-day smoking habit. Eisenhower, after just a few days of limiting his cigarettes, quit cold turkey and never smoked again. He attributed his success to developing a scornful attitude toward smokers who couldn’t quit, saying, “I nursed to the utmost my ability to sneer.”
