This Will Make You Feel Better

 

If you sometimes

get discouraged,

consider this fellow:

He dropped out

of grade school.

Ran a country store.

Went broke.

Took 15 years

to payoff

his bills.

Took a wife.

Unhappy marriage.

Ran for House.

Lost twice.

Ran for Senate.

Lost twice.

Delivered speech

that became

a classic.

Audience indifferent.

Attacked daily

by the press

and despised

by half the country .

Despite all this,

..

lmagme

how many people

allover the world

have been

inspired

by this awkward,

rumpled,

brooding man

who signed his name

simply,

A. Lincoln.
