BOUNCE BACK
“What do you when everything seems to be going wrong? …
It could be very comforting to realize that the problems you are facing are not unique. Somebody somewhere has been in it before. The history of achievement is coloured with the image of men who either failed the first time around or many times over. American history will not be complete without the Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. He was the embodiment of what victory over failure is. But he was a man who was ready to make his failure work for him:
In 1831. Failed in business.
In 1832. Defeated for State Legislature.
In 1833. Failed in business again.
In 1834. Elected to State Legislature. Sweetheart died.
In 1836. Had nervous breakdown.
In 1838. Defeated for Speaker of State Legislature.
In 1840. Defeated for Elector.
In 1843. Defeated for Congress.
In 1846. Elected to Congress.
In 1848. Defeated for Congress.
In 1855. Defeated for Senate.
In 1856. Defeated for Vice-president.
In 1858. Defeated for Senate.
In 1860. Elected President of the United States.
Lincoln had a catalogue of failures but he did not remain defeated.”
