Lessons A President Can Learn From JFK:

1. Get the right information and have a good tactical strategy before entering into battle. 
2. The Cuban missile crisis is a good lesson of what not to do in foreign crisis situations. The Cuban missile crisis was one of Kennedy's big mistakes almost taking America into a nuclear war. It is good learn from others mistakes and this can teach presidents to use diplomacy instead of just jumping to war. 
3. The trickle up affect many don't hear about: "Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased – not a reduced – flow of revenues to the federal government."– John F. Kennedy, Jan. 17, 1963, annual budget message to the Congress, fiscal year 1964 
4.  Kennedy was a leader on civil rights and equality presidents still have civil rights issues to deal with today.
5. The Space Race: JFK showed passion, and a strong competitive attitude that pushed America to be better a president should learn to push America as far as we can go for the better. Also in a time today when the NASA program is no longer funded as much the space race shows the reason why programs like this were funded and the gain from these programs.
6. Lessons that can be learned from the Cold War are that we must not enter into petty silent battles with countries. Work on making better connections with foreign countries.
