Defeat is a Detour, not a Dead End

This is the true story of a man and the events that happened in his life:

Age	Event
21	Failed in business
22	Defeated in legislative race
24	Failed in business again
26	His sweetheart died
27	Had a nervous breakdown
34	Lost a congressional race
45	Lost a senatorial race
47	Failed in an effort to become vice president
49	Lost a senatorial race
52	Elected President of the United States

That man's name was Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln, 16th U.S. President

So many of us would have quit if we'd have faced half of these adversities.

But Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States never gave up.

To Lincoln, defeat was a detour, not a dead end.
