Classic inspirational story: he only succeeded twice

Inspirational heart: If a person wants to do anything big, he must be able to persevere. Only in this way can he achieve the final success. In fact, it may not be difficult for a person to overcome a little difficulty, but the hard part is whether you can continue to do it consistently. If you can persevere, then you are already extraordinary. It is a matter of time to succeed.
In 1832, Lincoln was unemployed, which obviously made him very sad, but he made up his mind to be a politician and a state legislator. Poorly, he has neither economic strength nor fame, and of course the election failed. It was undoubtedly painful for him to suffer two blows in a year.
In order to be in a favorable position in the future elections, then Lincoln set about starting his own business, but less than a year later, the company went bankrupt. In the next year or so, he had to repay the company when it was closed. The owed debts ran around and suffered.
Subsequently, Lincoln once again decided to run for the state legislator, this time he succeeded. He had a glimmer of hope in his heart and thought that his life had a turn for the better: "Maybe I have to be on the political front!"
He was engaged in 1835. The fiancee helps him in his career, and his emotional support is his spiritual support. However, when he was a few months away from marriage, his fiancée died of illness. This is too much for his mental blow. He has a hard time and is bedridden for several months. In 1836, he suffered from neurasthenia.
In 1838, Lincoln felt that he was in good health and decided to run for the state council president, but he failed. In 1843, he also participated in the election for US Congress, but this time he still did not succeed.
Although Lincoln tried again and again, it suffered failures again and again: corporate failures, lover deaths, and election defeats. If you come across all of this, will you give up - these things that are important to you?
Lincoln is a wise man. He has a persistent personality. He didn't give up, and he didn't think. What would happen if he failed? In 1846, he once again campaigned for the House of Representatives and was finally elected. The two-year term passed quickly, he decided He wants to be re-elected. He thinks that he is outstanding as a member of parliament. He believes that voters will continue to elect him. The result of the price list is unfortunate. He has lost the election.
In order to lose a lot of money for this campaign, Lincoln applied to be a land official in the state. However, the state government withdrew his application back and explained: "The land officials in the state require excellent talents and extraordinary intelligence. Your application failed to meet these requirements."
There are two failures in succession.
In this case, will you insist on continuing to work hard? Would you not say "I failed"? However, as a smart person, Lincoln did not accept defeat. In 1854, he ran for the senator, but failed. Two years later he campaigned for the US Vice Presidential nomination and was defeated by his opponent. Two years later, he once again ran for the Senate and failed.
Lincoln tried 11 times, but only succeeded 2 times. He has never given up his pursuit and has been the master of his own life. He is destined to become a great man. In 1860, he was finally elected president of the United States.
I have experienced both Lincoln and you. Because he is a wise man, in the face of difficulties, he did not retreat, did not escape, but persisted and struggled. He didn't even think about giving up his efforts. He didn't want to give up, so he succeeded.
