Self – Confidence

 There were countless failures in the life of Abraham Lincoln.

• When he was 7 years old, his family 
  was forced out of home on a legal dispute.
• At 9, his mother died.
• At 22, he lost his job as a clerk.
• At 25, he was defeated in a legislature election. 
• At 27, he had nervous breakdown.
• At 28, he lost his beloved.
• At 30, he lost the election for the post of a speaker.
•  At 35, he lost the Congress election.
• At 46, he lost the Senatorial elections- around the same time he lost his son. 
• At 47, he lost the Vice Presidential elections.

These failures could not shake his self-confidence! 

• At 52, he became the President of USA.

 So, please do not allow the past to damage your self-confidence!
