Through failures we can learn those things which we don’t even think for them by getting success in one shot. So be ready to prepare yourself to get fail, at-least for a once, by that way you get the real taste of success which really senses more, means more & values a-lot.

It was the story who born into poverty & was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown.

Here is a sketch of the person’s road to the Mark of Respect, Honor, Determination, Dedication, Power & most importantly who never quits at all in any situation :-

1. In 1816 His family was forced out of their home. He had to work to support them.
2. In 1818 His mother died.
3. In 1831 Failed in business.
4. In 1832 Ran for state legislature – lost.
5. In 1832 He lost his job – wanted to go to law school but couldn’t get in.
6. In 1833 He borrowed some money from a friend to begin a business and by the end of the year he was bankrupt. He spent the next 17 years of his life paying off this debt.
7. In 1834 Ran for state legislature again – won.
8. In 1835 He was engaged to be married, sweetheart died and his heart was broken.
9. In 1836 He had a total nervous breakdown and was in bed for six months.
10. In 1838 Sought to become speaker of the state legislature – defeated.
11. In 1840 Sought to become elector – defeated.
12. In 1843 Ran for Congress – lost.
13. In 1846 Ran for Congress again – this time he won – went to Washington and did a good job.
14. In 1848 Ran for re-election to Congress – lost.
15. In 1849 Sought the job of land officer in his home state – rejected.
16. In 1854 Ran for Senate of the United States – lost.
17. In 1856 Sought the Vice-Presidential nomination at his party’s national convention – get less than 100 votes.
18. In 1858 Ran for U.S. Senate again – again he lost.
19. In 1860 Elected president of the United States.

He could have quit many times – but he didn’t quit at all and because he didn’t quit, he became one of the greatest president in history. In my view, about 64 years of life, He saw the ugly to ugliest faces of Failures. But He didn't step back from any moment from. And He never & ever quit at all.

You people are thinking of that person, who it was? So I am removing all of your doubts. He was none other than, The 16th President of United States, “Abraham Lincoln”.

" Don't you feel that failure is good or Failure is for good, yet it tests the person with more & more hot fire of conditions, situations & environment. But after coming from that hot & hot fire. We got the pure real Gold ".

While today he is remembered as one of the greatest leaders of the world, Lincoln’s life wasn’t so easy. In his youth he went to war a captain and returned a private (if you’re not familiar with military ranks, just know that private is as low as it goes.)

Lincoln didn’t stop failing there, however. He started numerous failed business and was defeated in numerous runs he made for public office. But Who knows about his failures? Everybody knows him with a mark of respect & honor.
