Perseverance Brings Success

Hard work is the key of success. Success leads to happiness. So let us not be discouraged by failures.

You know Abraham Lincoln was one of the greatest Present of United States of America. His life tells us how one can be successful in spite of repeated failures in his life.

At the age of twenty one he was unsuccessful in business. He was defeated in a legislative race at the age of twenty two. He failed again in business at the age of twenty four. He overcame the death of his sweetheart at the age of twenty six. He had a nervous breakdown at the age of twenty seven. He lost a congressional race at thirty four and lost a senatorial race at forty five. He again failed in an effort to become vice president at the age of forty seven. He lost another senatorial race at age of forty nine.

In spite of all his failures, he was elected President of the United States of America at the age of fifty two. Nine failures and one success! But his aim was not just to become the US president and thus become popular. When he became president, the first things he did was abolish slavery. For thirty one years he had to struggle in his attempts. He had to face all kinds of odds and failures to achieve such a great success.

Life has purpose. The ultimate goal of life is to attain happiness. Obstacles do come in your way. With confidence and president efforts, you can overcome obstacles. If you persevere in your efforts, success will be yours.
