Inspirational story: Never give up

Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States, is a great man who is admired by the whole world. From the hardships he has experienced, the hardships of defeat and humiliation, it is hard to see that he is able to reach such a glorious peak.

The following is a chronicle of Lincoln's life footprint:

Born in 1809 in a lonely log cabin in the wilderness.

In 1816, the whole family was driven out of the house and began to live in the days of nowhere.

In 1818, when only 34-year-old mother died, the sad life was worse.

In 1826, what farm work was possible, and often helped people to do odd jobs.

Business failure in 1831, debt-ridden.

In 1832, the election of state legislators was lost, and even the work was lost. I want to go to law school, but I can't get in.

In 1833, he borrowed money from friends to do business, but he soon went bankrupt. It took 17 years to pay off the debt.

In 1834, he re-elected to run for state legislators and was elected.

When I was engaged in marriage in 1835, my fiancee suddenly died, so my heart was broken.

In 1836, the spirit completely collapsed and stayed in bed for half a year.

In 1840, even the qualifications for the election were denied.

In 1843, he participated in the parliamentary election and was defeated.

In 1846, he participated in the parliamentary election again and was elected this time.

In 1848, the re-election of members of Congress failed.

In 1849, he was recommended to be the director of the State Land Director and was rejected.

In 1854, he ran for the senator and was unsuccessful.

In 1856, he won the nomination of the vice president and won less than 100 votes.

In 1858, he again ran for the senator and failed again.

In 1860, he was elected president of the United States at the age of 51.

Listen to Lincoln himself how to evaluate himself: Although there is a heartbreak, but still hot; although there is pain, but still calm; although there has been a collapse, but still confident. Because I firmly believe that the best way to deal with repeated defeats is to repeatedly defeat and never give up!
