Failure

Abraham Lincoln experienced failure after failure - for twenty-eight years! In 1833 his business failed. In 1836 he had a nervous breakdown. He failed to be elected as speaker in 1838. He lost re-nomination to Congress in 1848, and was rejected for Land Officer in 1849. But he 'hung in there'. In 1854 he was defeated for the Senate. Two years later he lost the nomination for Vice-President, and was again defeated in the Senate elections of 1858. But he was elected President in 1860, and went on to become America's best-known leader ever.

'We regret we are unable to give you the weather. We rely on weather reports from the airport, which is closed because of the weather. Whether we are able to give you the weather tomorrow depends on the weather.'

I don't know who said 'It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game', but I reckon most modern sporting clubs wouldn't want that fellow in their team.

In reality what is perceived as failure is often success, and vice-versa.

'The biggest reward for a thing well done is to have done it'.

What looks like failure in a success-mad world may prove to be successful in the longer run.



What is life to you?
I like to contradict Jacob Black who says:
"Life sucks then you die"
My opinion is:
"Life sucks then you succeed".

What is the greatest feeling?
An abstract question.

Do you like school?
Friends are great. Education sucks.

What subject don't you like about school?
History, Moral.

How perasan are you? (Perasan is a term used to indicate how sensitive to yourself or self-centred a person is)
Am I THAT bad?

Who do you tag?
Procrastinators.

Excuse the failed topics above. I'm just trying to self-console myself.

Speaking of that.....what's up with pupils in my class?
