Champion Never Quit



If you would like to learn and look for inspiration on Persistence and Perseverance, one of the greatest example is Abraham Lincoln, someone who never quit.

"Before success in any man's life he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do."
~ Napoleon Hill

Due to Abraham Lincoln’s never quit spirit, he became the greatest president in the history of United States…

Abraham Lincoln came from a very poor family.

In 1816, Abraham Lincoln and family were forced out of home.

He had to work extremely hard to support the family.

Thereafter, he failed his business twice and went bankrupt.

From 1832 to 1858, in a period of 26 years, he was defeated 9 times for legislature, Senate of United States and Congress.

Abraham Lincoln could have quit many times after trying for such a long period of time but he didn’t.

Finally, in 1860, he was elected the President of United States.

Abraham Lincoln was a champion because he never gave up.

A Champion is not one who never fails but one never quit…


“The path was worn and slippery,

my foot slipped from under me,

knocking the other out of the way,

but I recovered and said to myself:

It is a slip and not a fall” ~ Abraham Lincoln
