Ever played the “persistence game”?<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me tell you about someone who mastered it
\u2014Abraham Lincoln.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At age 22, he faced business failure,
at 23 he lost a political race,
and the setbacks continued. Yet, he persisted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the remarkable journey of a man
who triumphed against all odds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age 24: Second business failure.
Age 25: Legislative victory.
Age 26: Tragic loss of a loved one.
Age 27: Nervous breakdown.
Age 29: Defeated for Speaker.
Age 31: Defeated for Elector.
Age 34: Congressional defeat.
Age 37: Congressional triumph.
Age 39: Congressional defeat again.
Age 46: Senate defeat.
Age 47: Vice Presidential defeat.
Age 49: Senate defeat.
Age 51: Elected President of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abraham Lincoln’s story is a testament to resilience,
roving that success often comes after
overcoming failures and hardships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
