The man who never quit

Let me share someone's life history with you.

This was a man who failed in business at the age of 21 ;

Was defeated in a legislative race at age 22;

Failed again in business at age 24;

Overcame the death of his sweetheart at age 26;

Had a nervous breakdown at age 27;

Lost a congressional race at age 34;

lost a senatorial race at age 45;

Failed in an effort to become vice-president at age 47;

Lost a senatorial race at age 49;

And was finally elected president of the United States at age 52.

This man was Abraham Lincoln. Would you call him a failure? He could have quit. But to Lincoln, defeat was a detour and not a dead end.

Lets too never lose hope when we meet with failures. . . . . . . . ..
