REMEMBER THIS?
w
HEN Abraham Lincoln was a young man he ran for
the Legislature in Illinois and was badly swamped.
He next entered business, failed, and spent 17 years of
his life paying up the debts of a worthless partner.
He was in love with a beautiful young woman, to whom
he became engaged—then she died.
Later he married a woman who was a constant burden
to him.
Entering politics again, he ran for Congress and was
badly defeated. He then tried to get an appointment to
the United States Land Office, but failed.
He became a candidate for the United States Senate
and was badly defeated.
In 1856 he became a candidate for the Vice-Presidency
and was again defeated.
In 1858 he was defeated by Dougles.
One failure after another—bad failures—great set-
backs. In the face of all of this, he eventually became
one of the country's greatest men, if not the greatest.
When you think of a series of setbacks like this, doesn't
it make you feel kind of small to become discouraged just
because you think you are having a hard time in life?
