FAILURE paves the way to SUCCESS

No one in the history of time has ever accomplished something of grandeur without failing miserably over and over again. Read the following time-line of defeats and guess who this person is:
                          1831 - Failed in business
                          1832 - Defeated for legislature
                          1833 - Again failed in business
                          1835 - Sweetheart died
                          1836 - Had a nervous breakdown
                          1838 - Defeated 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
At first site all you see this person is as a defeated loser. But this defeated loser is actually Abraham Lincoln, one of the best, if not the best, American President.

Failure only wins if we refuse to get up after it beats us down. So GET UP! And never settle for less than you're worth.
