Abraham Lincon's road to president

1831 - Failed in business
1832 - Defeated for legislature
1833 - Second failure in business
1836 - Suffers nervous breakdown
1838 - Deafeted for Speaker
1840 - Defeated for Elector
1843 - Defeated for Congress
1848 - Defeated for Congress
1855 - Defeated for Senate
1856 - Defeated for Vice President
1858 - Defeated for Senate
1860 - Elected PRESIDENT.

The simple thing that we all can learn from this simple record of events is that if a man of Abraham Licoln's stature could have so many defeats and failures, then we all can have them. The only way to get rid of all these failures is a positive attitude and to go and meet them headlong never being afraid of defeats as we all know that the best way of defence is to attack.
"Success is the ability to move from one failure to another without losing heart"
