Lincoln Speeches in English, Presentation of Lincoln s Story

Lincoln was born into a family of shoemakers, and the American society at that time valued the family very much, so on the eve of Lincoln's campaign, he was humiliated by a senator when he spoke in the Senate. The senator said, "Mr. Lincoln, before you begin your speech, I want you to remember that you are the son of a shoemaker.

I am so grateful to you for reminding me of my father, who has passed away, and I will definitely always remember your advice, and I know that I will never be able to do as well as my father as a shoemaker. ”

The Senate fell silent for a while, and Lincoln turned to the arrogant senator and said, "As far as I know, my father used to make shoes for your family, and if your shoes don't fit, I can help you fix them." Although I am not a great shoemaker, I learned the art of making shoes from my father from a young age.

Then he said to all the senators: "It is the same for anyone in the Senate, if the shoes you wear are made by my father, and they need to be repaired or improved, I will help as much as I can." But one thing is for sure, I can't be as great as him, and his craftsmanship is unmatched.

At this, Lincoln burst into tears, and all the ridicule turned into sincere applause. Later, Lincoln got his wish and became the United States**.

In my eyes, Lincoln's life was a great testimony to turning setbacks into victories. In 1832, Lincoln lost his job, and although he was sad, he was determined to become a politician and a state legislature. Unfortunately, he lost the election.

Suffering two blows in one year, it was undoubtedly painful for him. Lincoln then set about setting up his own business, but within a year, the company also went out of business. For the next 17 years, he had to travel and struggle to pay off the debts he owed when his business collapsed.

Lincoln tried again and again, but failed again and again: the business collapsed, his lover died, and he lost the election, ......Lincoln didn't give up, and he didn't say; "What happens if you fail". In 1846 he ran again for the Reichstag, and was finally elected.

The two-year term passed quickly, and he decided to seek re-election. He believes that he has performed well as a member of Congress and believes that voters will continue to elect him. But unfortunately, he was defeated.

Because he lost a large sum of money in this campaign, Lincoln applied to be the land of the state**, but the state** returned his application, which stated; "Doing land in this state** requires exceptional talent and extraordinary intelligence, and your application fails to meet these requirements. "Two failures in a row, but Lincoln did not admit defeat, never gave up his pursuit, he has been the master of his own life. In 1860, he was elected to the United States.

Lincoln's life was written with a great truth: you will not be defeated unless you give up. Everyone has experienced vicissitudes and relentless blows, but few have been able to turn back like Lincoln.

He lost six campaigns, but after each defeat, Lincoln encouraged himself: "It's just a slip, not a dead can't get up." These words were Lincoln's strength in overcoming difficulties, and they were the weapon that Lincoln finally became famous.
