In 1952 Roger Bannister (1929-2018) an English middle-distance athlete and neurologist ran in the Olympics and FINISHED in FOURTH place, FAILING to WIN any kind of MEDAL. But he REFUSED to quit. Up UNTIL this TIME many EXPERTS considered it HUMANLY impossible to RUN the MILE in under four minutes. Yet that WAS Bannister's GOAL. And on May 6, 1954, he BECAME the FIRST man to DO it. Now RUNNERS do it REGULARLY. What's the POINT? If you REFUSE to quit WHEN you FAIL, you will ULTIMATELY succeed. You JUST have to be WILLING to get BACK up and KEEP moving FORWARD.
ln 1832 Abraham Lincoln was DEFEATED for the State Legislature.ln 1833 he FAILED in business. ln 1835 his SWEETHEART died. ln 1836 he had a NERVOUS breakdown. ln 1838 he was DEFEATED for Illinois House Speaker. ln 1843 he was DEFEATED for NOMINATION to Congress. ln 1854 he was DEFEATED for the U.S. Senate. ln 1856 he was DEFEATED for NOMINATION for Vice President. ln 1858 he was DEFEATED again in a U.S. SENATE race. But TODAY he is CONSIDERED one of America's GREATEST presidents. He became the 16th president of America from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. A wise man concluded: 'lt's a MISTAKE to SUPPOSE that PEOPLE succeed ONLY through SUCCESS; they often SUCCEED through FAILURES.' And you are not DEFEATED until the PAST takes your FOCUS off the FUTURE. So don't be AFRAID of FAILURE.
God's servant
