A story that really inspired me...
Was born in a log cabin to illiterate parents
Had no formal education
Had no positive role models
Lost his mother at age 9
Failed in business at age 22
Was defeated in an attempt to become a legislator at age 23
Went bankrupt again in business at age 25
Overcame the death of his companion at age 26
Was overcome with depression at age 32
Ran for congress and was defeated at age 37
Failed in an effort to become vice president at age 47
Lost a senatorial race at age 49
Was elected the 16th President of the United States at age 51
This man was Abraham Lincoln, one of the most respected US presidents that ever lived.
Every time you fail and think it is the end of the world, think of Abraham Lincoln.
