Politics and Leadership

Biden explains how much he remains "captivated by the possibilities of politics and public service." He believes that his "chosen profession is a noble calling."
Persistance and Endurance

He had just lost in a presidential campaign just before this accident happened. His son Beau, his political heir, would die of brain cancer in 2016. Regardless, Biden was able to overcome all the personal death tragedies, the life-threatening illness of brain aneurysms, and career setbacks of failed elections and emerge a survivor.
Family and Unity

He explains his relationships with presidents, world leaders, and lawmakers. He also describes his friendship with Barack Obama, who was crucial in his healing and recovery in his most recent tragedy, his son Beau's death.
Loyalty and Honesty
