Make failure your teacher

People do not try new things that result in success because of the fear of failure. They fear that if things fail society will ridicule them. They fear failure so they would rather stay their course of mediocrity. They would rather continue being ordinary. However there is a man who refused to be defeated by failure. “There is the story of a man who failed in business at the age of 21;was defeated in a legislative race at age 22;failed again in business at age 24;his sweet heart died when he was 26.He had a nervous breakdown at age 27;lost a congressional race at age 34;lost another one at 36;lost a senatorial race at age 45;failed in his effort to become vice president at age 47;lost a senatorial race at age 49;and at age 52 was elected president of the United States! His name was Abraham Lincoln”, writes Willie Jollie. Please do not fear failure. Make failure your teacher.
