Abraham Lincoln was a failure at everything he tried until he was well past the age of 40.

Another person who got a late start in life was Colonel Sanders, the founder of Kentuckey Fried Chicken, who didn't open his first restaurant until he was 65. If we are under the age of 40, then there is definitely still plenty of time to acheive our goals and dreams. Just because we have tried a couple of things in the past and they have not worked out, that is no reason to settle for less then what we really want. The world is full of people who have tried and failed several times before they finally achieved their goals and made a significant contribution to the world. The easiest thing that we could do is to quit and think that we'll never acheive our dreams. If we have this kind of thinking, then we need to get off our ass and get inspired. Let's learn from our past and realized that we have already acheived a lot. Additionally, let's learn from others who had it worse then we had it and went on to become super successful.
