yes here it is

Let me share someone's life history with you. This was 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; overcame the death of his sweetheart at age 26; had a nervous breakdown at

age 27; lost a congressional race at age 34; lost a senatorial race at age 45; failed in an

effort to become vice-president at age 47; lost a senatorial race at age 49; and was

elected President of the United States at age 52.

This man was Abraham Lincoln.

Would you call him a failure? He could have quit. But to Lincoln, defeat was a detour and

not a dead end.
