Notes of Success
I attended a commencement exercises for grade school yesterday. The guest speaker has taken the pupils, and the audience as well, to a storyland and I took note of the interesting points that she said.
- Abraham Lincoln failed seven times. Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States of America has failed to be elected in Congress and Senate several times. He also even ran for vice-president and failed. But on his first attempt to ran for presidency, he succeeded. His story was a very inspiring one. Lincoln has been regarded as one of the greatest presidents in the United States and behind his success were failures. He may have failed several times, but he stood up and made his way to success. His success was not only by becoming a president, but becoming a great person.
- Diligent can beat the intelligent. If you are diligent, you are eager to get to the top. Whereas if you are intelligent but lack the confidence and courage, you are more likely to be defeated by the intelligent ones.
- Achievement is not measured by how many awards a person has but by how many times he stood up every time he falls. W e are honed by our experiences to be a better person and thats the real achievement we have.
