Success stories

Most of us know of this great man because of what he did for our country. The Emancipation Proclamation which led to the abolition of slavery was a massive accomplishment. But, what most don’t realized about Abraham Lincoln, is that he has one of the most impressive rap sheets when it comes to overcoming defeat.

But, what most don’t realized about Abraham Lincoln, is that he has one of the most impressive rap sheets when it comes to overcoming defeat.
• In short, his success story consists of a list of failures and set backs so sizable, that you would hardly think it belonged to one of the greatest presidents of the United States of America
• Here’s a great example of the many failures Lincoln endured, with a few victories he managed to sprinkle in over his lifetime:
• 1832: Lost his job
• 1832: Defeated for legislature
• 1833: Failed in business

1834: Elected to legislature

• 1834: Elected to legislature
• 1835: The woman he loved died
• 1836: Had a nervous breakdown
• 1838: Defeated for Speaker
• 1843: Defeated for nomination for Congress
• 1848: Lost re-nomination
• 1849: Reject for Land Officer
• 1854: Defeated for Senate
• 1856: Defeated for nomination for Vice-President
• 1858: Again defeated for Senate
• 1860: Elected for President of The United States of America
• To be sure, Lincoln failed his way to success, and his recorded failures helps us realize the truth behind the Michael Jordan quote we mentioned earlier, and that is…that the key to success is through failure.
