Someone once made statistics for Lincoln, saying that he succeeded only three times in his life, but failed 35 times, but the third success made him president of the United States. This is also a fact. In the end, it was his strength that made him get the third favor of fate, or strive for the third success. When he lost the Senate election, he said, "The road is hard and muddy. I slipped on one foot and the other foot was unstable. But I took a deep breath and told myself that it was just a slip, not death, and I couldn't get up. "

I believe that only Lincoln, who is always strong in the face of any difficulties, can say such lofty words, and the second person is absolutely impossible. Only those who are as strong as Lincoln in the face of any difficulties can climb to the top of the pyramid like Lincoln after countless falls.

What is suffering? It is a ravine between the weak and the mountains, but for the strong, it is just a pit on the road and a stream in the green hills. After it, the road leads to the sky and the mountain is beautiful.
