You Must Not Lose Hope

Don’t lose hope. That will be the message of this blog post for today. My classmate sent me text message just awhile ago. The message was so meaningful. At first, it looks like a joke but as I scroll down it really makes me think. I dedicate this message to those people who are already losing hope.

Here’s how the message look like:

At 31, this man failed in business
At 32, was defeated in a legislative race
At 34, failed again in a business
At 35, his girlfriend died
At 36, had a nervous breakdown
At 38, lost another election
At 43, 46, & 48, lost congressional races
At 55, lost a senatorial race
At 56, failed in a bid to become Vice-President of USA
At 58, lost a senatorial race
At 60, he was elected as President of USA.
He is Abraham Lincoln. You are never really a failure until you give up trying.

How insipiring. So if you think you are almost failing in blogging or any online business you have, don’t lose hope. There are still more time or look for another career or start all over again. Remember also the saying “Try and try until you succeed” (LOL not die).

    HAHA. I just love changing theme.. And also, I’m still getting problem with the premium one and it really affects my adsense earnings. now using this theme CTR is now even better.

  5. OMG you change your theme again. Your theme seems to have a short lifespan, huh?

    OK. Back to Abraham Lincoln. He was a great exemplary of what persistency is all about, the other being Albert Einsteen. Two of the great men the world has ever seen.

  7. Hussein says:

    yes, it seems that every month i used to change theme. i’m so stupid. :( i can’t fix my previous theme.

  8. I think theme from WP Remix would be a better option for you but it’s a matter of individual taste.
