Stories of celebrities who succeed in the face of failure

Lincoln. Lincoln was one of America's greatest people, but he was also a strong man who came out of all kinds of misfortunes and failures. If it weren't for the spirit of being strong in the face of hardship, he wouldn't have been able to be in the White House after so many blows.

In 1816, the family was evicted from the place where he lived, and he had to go out to work in order to support them. He was not yet 10 years old that year.

In 1818, his mother died. In 1831, the business failed.

In 1832, he ran for state legislature, but was defeated. That year, he also lost his job and wanted to go to law school, but he couldn't get in.

In 1833, he borrowed some money from a friend and went into business again, but at the end of the year he went bankrupt. It took him the next 16 years to pay off his debts.

In 1834, he ran for state legislature again, and this time fate favored him, and he won!

In 1835, when he was about to get married after his engagement, his fiancée died, and his heart was broken.

In 1836, he suffered a complete mental breakdown and was bedridden for six months.

In 1838, he tried to become a spokesman for state legislators, but without success.

In 1840, he tried to become an elector, but failed.

In 1843, he participated in Congress** but was defeated.

In 1846, he again participated in Congress**, and fate favored him for the second time, and he was elected! And when you go to Washington, D.C., the performance is also remarkable.

In 1848, he sought re-election to the MP, but failed.

In 1849, he wanted to work as a land commissioner in his own state, but was denied.

In 1854, he ran for the U.S. Senate, but lost.

In 1856, he fought for the nomination of vice president at the Republican National Convention, but received less than 100 votes.

In 1858, he ran again for the U.S. Senate and lost again.

In 1860, he was elected to the United States.

Someone once made a statistic for Lincoln, saying that he only succeeded 3 times in his life, but failed 35 times, but the third success made him an American**. And that's exactly what happened. And in the end, what made him get the third favor of fate, or the third success, was completely his strength.

When he lost his bid for the Senate, he said, "It was a hard and muddy road, and I slipped on one foot and couldn't stand on the other." But I breathed a sigh of relief and told myself that it was just a slip, not a death that I couldn't get up.

I believe that only Lincoln, who was always strong in the face of any difficulty, could say such a bold statement, and the second person would never be able to. And only a man as strong as Lincoln in the face of any difficulty can climb to the top of the pyramid after falling countless times, as Lincoln did.

What is failure? It is a thousand ravines and lofty mountains for the weak, but for the strong, it is just a dirt pit on the road, a small stream in the green mountains, and the road leads to the sky, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful.
