In 1835, he met a wonderful woman. He falls in love with her, they get engaged, and she dies.
In 1836, he entered a dark period of his life: deep depression.
He remains bedridden for 6 consecutive months. But he gets up.
He gets up and in that same year of 1836, he runs in the legislative elections and loses again.

In 1856, he ran for Vice President, he didn't even have 100 votes.
In '58, he ran again for the Senate and lost again.
And in 1860 ABRAHAM LINCOLN was elected President of the United States of America
He was elected for two exceptional terms (he was assassinated at the beginning of the second term.) He was one of the most respected and impactful Presidents in the history of the United States
It's important to tell this story of perseverance because we see the hero, but we don't see the backstage of the afflictions.
I think this is a great example of Never Never Never Give Up!
