INTRODUCTION
All of us have experienced failure in our lives, professional or personal. Have failures led you to the path of self-destruction or have you been able to leverage failure as stepping stones to success?

Why is it that some people reach the pinnacle of success while others just go down? Many call it luck and say those are lucky people. When we delve deep into the stories of those who have succeeded we find they have failed more than an average person. 

Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. He could have quit many times – but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
​
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up.
