ABRAHAM LINCOLN

This was a man who:
Was failed in business at the age of 21;
Was defeated in a legislative race at age of 22;
Was failed again in business at age of 24;
Had his sweetheart die when he was age of 26;
Had a nervous breakdown at age of 27;
Lost a congressional race at age of 34;
Lost a senatorial race at age of 45;
Failed in an effort to become vice-president at age of 47;
Lost a senatorial race at age of 49;
And was elected president of the United States at age of 52.

Would you call Lincoln a failure? “NO” Because he “Never Never Never Give Up”. For Lincoln, defeat was a detour, not a dead end. So when ever you lose in anything, don’t give up. Give chance again and again until you win.
