ABRAHAM LINCOLN.....Failed in business at age 21.

Failed again in business at age 24.
Overcome the death of his wife at age 26.

*lost a congressional race at 34.
*lost a congressional race at 36
*lost a senatorial race at 45.
*failed in an effort to become Vice-President at 47.

And he finally became the president of America at 52.


COLONEL SANDERS---He retired from the military with little or nothing to live on, he decided to make a fried chicken recipe of which he did well but he was rejected 1009 times[/b]but today he is the man behind the [b]kentucky fried chicken.


[b]THOMAS EDISON[/b]He tried perfecting the light bulb for 9,999 times but he kept failing. someone then ask him, "are gonna fail the 10,000th time? he said no!i'm only pecfecting the invention of the bulb for the 10,000th time.

[b]MARILYN HAMILTON[/b]She fell from a cliff, got paralysed but she didnt stop there, her wheelchair was uncomfortable for her. she called two of her friends, and later revolutionize the wheelchair industry. she is a proud owner of multi-million dollar wheelchair industry.


My point here is to tell you that there is nothing as failure. your condition might just be the right place where you are destined to explode!If Abraham Lincoln was a Nigerian, he would have called witches and all that but he didnt relent, he kept on pressing hard.
If you try and fail, admit it! then try again. A life spent in making mistakes is not just honorable but far better then a life spent doing nothing. peace!
