Although the president I am referring to spoke these words in nineteen fifty-four, they form the basis for a time management technique which is still widely in use today. Unfortunately – among some young people – this historical figure is better known for this technique rather than for all his other achievements. I am of course talking about Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The man who was not only President of the United States, but before that was the general who played such a paramount role in liberating Europe from fascism, putting an end to the Second World War. Eisenhower was committed to freedom, racial equality and fighting poverty. He believed in equal opportunities for all.
