When he was 7 years old, his family was forced out of home on a legal dispute.
At 9, his mother died.
At 22, he lost his job as a clerk.
At 25, he was defeated in a legislature election.
At 27, he had nervous breakdown.
At 28, he lost his beloved.
At 30, he lost the election for the post of a speaker.
At 35, he lost the Congress election.
At 46, he lost the Senatorial elections- around the same time he lost his son.
At 47, he lost the Vice Presidential elections.
These failures could not shake his self-confidence!
At 52, he became the President of USA.
So, please do not allow the past to damage your self-confidence!
Therefore, Oh, Life Relax Please!
Yoga of Wisdom:
Self confidence is not the absence of fear; but the conquest of it.
Contemplation:
Fear is food for fools.
