If At First You Don’t Succeed
Some scrabble players moan and quit after drawing a rack with all vowels.
Imagine being this man:
At age 31 the man failed in business.
At age 32 the man attempted to run for a legislative office and was defeated.
At age 34 the man again tried a business venture and failed.
When the man was 35 he experienced the death of a loved one.
At age 36 the man suffered a nervous breakdown.
Eight years later, at 43, he ran for congress and was defeated.
At age 46 he was again defeated in a congressional race.
At age 48 he was defeated in a congressional race.
Then at age 55 he was again defeated in a congressional race.
Not being discouraged, at 56 the man made an unsuccessful try at becoming vice-president.
At age 58 the man ran for senator and was defeated.
And then at the age of 60 the man was elected
The President of The United States.
