Marshal's Uniform and Workman's Clothes：Tito loves beauty
On August 12th, 1944, Tito arrived in Italy and met Churchill in General Wilson's house. To prepare for this meeting so as to make it helpful to his resistance forces, Tito had racked his brains to the full. Tito came wearing a new gray uniform with golden tassels and red stripes on the trousers. He wanted to show to the capitalist leader that he was not just a greenwood hero from wild.
But as soon as he came face to face with Churchill, he realized that he had gone all that trouble to dress himself up. Churchill was in an ordinary workman's plain suit. Churchill on his part also took note of Tito's clothes and was fully aware of his purpose. It was only later when talking about the meeting that he called his partner's uniform as "gilded tights". In the process of establishing communications, both suffered losses and gained benefits.

但当他与邱吉尔面对面时，他意识到他费了那么大的劲才打扮好自己。丘吉尔穿着一套普通工人的便服。丘吉尔也注意到了蒂托的衣服，他完全明白他的目的。直到后来在谈到这次会面时，他才把对方的制服称为“镀金紧身衣”。在建立沟通的过程中，双方都遭受了损失和利益。

Lincoln's face is familiar to people all over the world, at least his face when he was wearing a beard. When he started out as a judge and then a lawyer, he had two nicknames.

The sons of William of Conqueror
William's sons
"I am thinking, which one should be the king when I'm gone."
"Great king! if we knew what things your sons like most, we might tell what kind of men they will be. We can find out which one will be the best by some questions."
They deided that the yound princes should be brought in, one at a time, and each one should be given the same questions.
"If you should be a bird, what kind of bird would you like to be?"asked the wise men around him.

Thomas Jefferson
Charming President
Jefferson was a judge of a horse, and rode a very good one. When he came to a crossroad, a well-known jockey and dealer in horse-flesh came up, whose name we will call Jones.
He didn't know the President, but his professional eye was caught, in a moment, by the noble steed.
The fellow increased his bids, because the closer he looked at the steed, the better he liked him. He became rude, but his vulgarity made as little impression as his money, for Jefferson had the most perfect control of his temper. The jockey wanted him to show the animal's gait, and pressed him to ride with him for a bet. But all in vain.
Jefferson as an Inventor
A versatile politician
There is an anecdote which vividly protrays the character of his mind.
Not far from Monticello, and within the bounds of his estate, was a lonely and lofty hill, so situated as to be exposed to the blast of two currents of wind, coming up through valleys on different sides of it.
Mr. Jefferson thought this would be an excellent position for a windmill, and having recently invented a model for a saw-mill to be moved by vertical sails, he sent for an engineer and presented it to his judgment.
Jefferson immediately entered into a written agreement.
"You think the sails are so hung that it cannot fail to work?"
"Certainly, it must…
