Biography of celebrities: Lincoln, the hero of the world

Success comes from setting a goal and making unremitting efforts, efforts and efforts!

---Zhuge Changqing

Someone asked me how much money I have. I tell you that I have a wife and a son, which are priceless. In addition, I also rented an office with a table, three chairs and a large bookshelf in the corner. The books on the shelf are worth reading by everyone. I am tall and thin, with a long face and will not put on weight. I really have nothing to rely on. The only thing I can rely on is you.

------One of Lincoln's election replies

I don't know who my grandfather was, I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be.

---Lincoln

Lincoln is such a man. He has no family background. With his unremitting efforts, he has stepped up to the top of success step by step from numerous failures. In his struggle, Lincoln is a model worthy of learning. His diligence, enthusiasm and wisdom are all our examples.

Zhuge Changqing believes that Lincoln has the following four points to learn:

1. Persistence. Lock the target, never relax, and fight repeatedly until success.

2. Diligence. Whatever you do, do your best. If I had eight hours to cut a tree, I would spend six hours sharpening my axe Abraham Lincoln.

3. Speech. First-rate speech is a sharp weapon to success.

4. Learning. Endless learning is the foundation of success. All good things should be learned.

In a letter to a young man eager to become a lawyer, Lincoln said: "The secret of success is to pick up books, read and study carefully. Work, work, is the most important."

Success is not a fluke, there is no shortcut, only unremitting struggle. Let's take a look at Lincoln's struggle. What inspiration will it bring us?

In 1816, his family was driven out of their place of residence, and he had to work to support them.

In 1818, his mother died.

In 1831, business failed.

In 1832, the state legislator was defeated.

In 1832, he borrowed money from a friend to do business, but he went bankrupt at the end of the year. It took him 16 years to pay off the debt.

In 1834, he won the re-election for state senator!

In 1835, when he was getting married, his fiancee died, so his heart was broken!

In 1836, he collapsed completely and was ill in bed for six months.

In 1838, the speaker who tried to become a state senator failed.

In 1843, he failed to participate in the general election of Congress!

In 1846, he participated in the general election of the Congress again and was elected this time! I went to Washington, D.C., and performed admirably.

In 1848, seeking re-election of a member of Congress failed!

In 1849, the job of land director in his state was rejected!

In 1854, running for the United States Senate fell far behind!

In 1856, less than 100 votes were obtained for the nomination of the Vice President at the Republican National Congress.

In 1858, he ran for the United States Senate again and lost again.

In 1860, he was elected President of the United States.

Lincoln encouraged himself after his defeat in the Senate race: "This is just a slip, not a death and can't get up."

A person's intelligence does not depend on his intelligence and culture. To be successful is to have perseverance, firm confidence and never give up courage. Lincoln, who was born destitute, was defeated eight times in eight elections, twice in business, and even suffered a mental breakdown once. Many times, he could have given up, but he did not. It was because he did not give up that he became one of the greatest presidents in American history.

.......

Lincoln was born at dawn on February 12, 1809, in a cabin three miles south of Hall in Harding County, Kentucky.

In his own words, his childhood is "a concise chronicle of poverty". When he was young, he helped his family carry firewood, carry water and do farm work.

At the age of 9, his mother died, which was a cruel blow to Lincoln. Fortunately, his stepmother was very kind to him and often urged him to read and study. His relationship with his stepmother was very harmonious. Later, when Lincoln grew up, he began to earn his own living. He worked as a farm laborer, mason, boatman, etc.

In 1830, the Lincoln family moved to Illinois, where he made his first political speech. As a result of attacking the black slavery and putting forward some suggestions beneficial to the public cause, Lincoln had an influence in the public, and he had an outstanding personality,

In 1834, at the age of 25, he was elected to the state legislature. Two years later, Lincoln became a lawyer through self-study, and soon became the leader of the Whig Party in the state legislature.

In 1846, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives.

In 1854, the bourgeoisie in the northern states advocated abolishing slavery and restricting slavery

People formed the Republican Party, and Lincoln soon became the leader of the new party.

In 1858, he issued the famous speech "Family Disputes", which called for limiting the development of black slaves and realizing the reunification of the motherland. The speech expressed the wishes of the northern bourgeoisie and also reflected the wishes of the people of the whole country, thus winning Lincoln a great reputation.

In 1860, 51-year-old Lincoln was elected the 16th President of the United States as a Republican candidate.

Zhuge Changqing: "It's just a slip. It's not death and can't get up." What a wise word. Success is the accumulation of numerous failures. If we don't learn from failure, how can we have the fragrance of success? Success is like a building, while failure is the building brick.

Speaking of Lincoln, there are also some touching stories:

A poor young man worked as a waiter in a shop opened by others. Once, a woman paid a few cents more when buying textiles. He walked 10 kilometers to catch up with the woman and returned the few cents. Once again, he found that he had lost a quarter of a pound of tea to a female customer, and he ran several kilometers to make up for her.

While working as a postman, he also cut the fence for others to earn pocket money. One cold morning, when he came out of the house, he saw a young neighbor wrapped in rags and barefoot, chopping a pile of wood removed from the old stable, saying that he wanted to earn a dollar to buy a pair of shoes. He asked the young man to go back to the room and warm his feet. After a while, he returned the axe to the young man and told him that the firewood had been cut and that he could sell money to buy shoes.

Once, when he was a surveyor in Petersburg, he deliberately designed a street that could be straight into a curve to protect the housing of a poor orphan and widowed family. If the streets were built straight, wouldn't the poor family live in the streets!

The destitute and lowly young man was elected to parliament by election at the age of 25.

In May 1860, at the age of 51, he took part in the presidential election. At the National Congress, the voice of "advocate Abe, support the candidate for chopping the fence" continued all day long. Finally, he defeated his opponent and became the 16th President of the United States.

He was Abraham Lincoln, who was praised by Marx as "a hero of the world". It should be said that in addition to his indomitable, persistent and indomitable spirit of struggle, the noble virtues of compassion for the weak and selfless kindness have laid the foundation for his success.

Zhuge Changqing: Mencius said, "You can get more help if you lose.". Lincoln's success is not only due to his hard work, but also due to his kindness and the noble integrity of convenience to the people.

South no Amitabha, South no Amitabha, South no Amitabha!

Nanwu Master Sakyamuni Buddha. Blessed life is limitless. Confucius. Jesus. Mohammed.

All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of the three generations in ten directions.

All immortals in the three realms and ten directions.

All sages at all times and in all countries.

Don't do any evil, and do all good. Persistence and responsiveness.

Zhuge Changqing wishes all the people who are destined to respect their parents and do good deeds and accumulate virtue rich and auspicious!

      名人传记:全世界的英雄林肯

   
     成功来自于咬定目标，坚持不懈地努力、努力、再努力！

                                           ---诸葛长青

    有人问我有多少财产。我告诉大家，我有一位妻子和一个儿子，都是无价之宝。此外，也租了一个办公室，室内有一张桌子，三把椅子，墙角还有一个大书架，架上的书值得每个人一读。我本人既高又瘦，脸蛋很长，不会发福。我实在没有什么可依靠的，唯一可依靠的就是你们。

                                     ------ 林肯竞选答辩词之一

  我不知道我的祖父是谁，我更加关心的是他的孙子将成为什么样的人。

                                             ---林肯

    林肯就是这样一个，没有家属背景，靠着自己坚持不懈的努力，从无数次失败中一步一步走上成功的顶峰。在他的奋斗征程上，林肯，是一位值得学习的楷模，他的勤奋、他的热诚、他的智慧，都是我们的榜样。

   诸葛长青认为，林肯有以下四点值得学习：

   1、执著。锁定目标，决不松懈，屡败屡战，直到成功。

   2、勤奋。无论干什么，都干到最好。如果我有８小时的时间砍一棵树，我就会花费６小时磨利自己的斧子。—亚伯拉罕·林肯。

   3、演讲。一流的演讲，是走向成功的利器。

   4、学习。无休止的学习，是成功的基础，好的东西都要学习。

   林肯在写给一位渴望成为名律师的年轻人的信上说：“成功的秘诀就是拿起书本，仔细阅读及研究。工作，工作，才是最重要的。”
   成功不是侥幸，也没有捷径，只有坚持不懈的奋斗。让我们来看看林肯的奋斗历程，将带给我们什么样的启发？

     1816年，家人被赶出了居住的地方，他必须工作以抚养他们。

   1818年，母亲去世。

   1831年，经商失败。

   1832年，竞选州议员落选。

   1832年，向朋友借钱经商，但年底就破产了，接下来他花了16年，才把债还清。

   1834年，再次竞选州议员赢了！

   1835年，即将结婚时，未婚妻却死了，因此他的心也碎了！

   1836年，精神完全崩溃，卧病在床6个月。

   1838年，争取成为州议员的发言人没有成功。

   1843年，参加国会大选落选了！

   1846年，再次参加国会大选这次当选了！前往华盛顿特区，表现可圈可点。

   1848年，寻求国会议员连任失败了！

   1849年，想在自己的州内担任土地局长的工作被拒绝了！

   1854年，竞选美国参议员落远了！

   1856年，在共和党的全国代表大会上争取副总统的提名得票不到一百张。

   1858年，再度竞选美国参议员，再度落败。

   1860年，当选美国总统。

    林肯在竞选参议员落败后这样鼓励自己：“这不过是滑一跤，并不是死去而爬不起来。”

   一个人的聪明不取决于他的智商和文化，能够成功就是拥有坚忍不拔，坚定信心，绝不放弃的勇气。生下来就一贫如洗的林肯，八次竞选八次落败，两次经商两次失败，甚至还精神崩溃过一次。好多次，他本可以放弃，但他并没有如此，也正因为他没有放弃，才成为美国历史上最伟大的总统之一。

   .......

    林肯 1809年 2月12日黎明出生在肯塔基州哈定县霍尔以南 3 英里的小木屋里。

   用他自己的话说，他的童年是“一部贫穷的简明编年史”。小时候，他帮助家里搬柴、提水、做农活等。

  9 岁的时候，母亲去世，这对林肯来说是一个残酷的打击。幸而继母对他很好，常常督促他读书、学习，他和继母的关系很融洽。后来，长大的林肯开始独立谋生，他当过农场雇工、石匠、船夫等。
   1830 年，林肯一家迁居伊利诺斯州，在那里他第一次发表了政治演说。由于抨击黑奴制，提出一些有利于公众事业的建议，林肯在公众中有了影响，加上他具有杰出的人品，    

   1834 年,25岁的他被选为州议员。两年后，林肯通过自学成为一名律师，不久又成为州议会辉格党领袖。

  1846 年，他当选为美国众议员。
  1854 年，北方各州主张废奴和限制奴隶制的资产阶级

  人士成立了共和党，林肯很快成为这个新党的领导者。

  1858 年，他发表了著名演说《家庭纠纷》，要求限制黑人奴隶的发展，实现祖国统一。演说表达了北方资产阶级的愿望，也反映了全国人民的意愿，因而为林肯赢得了巨大声望。

  1860 年，51岁的林肯作为共和党候选人，当选为美国第 16 任总统。

 诸葛长青：“这不过是滑一跤，并不是死去而爬不起来。”多么睿智的话语，成功是密密麻麻的失败堆积而成的，如果不是在失败中吸取教训，哪有成功的芳香？成功就象是一幢楼房，而失败就是造楼的砖。

  说起林肯，还流传着一些感动人心的小故事：

  一位穷困潦倒的年轻人,在别人开的一爿商店当伙计。一次,一个妇女买纺织品时多付了几美分,他步行10公里赶上那位妇女退还了这几分钱。又一次,他发觉给一个女顾客少称了四分之一磅茶叶,他又跑了好几公里给她补上。

    他在当邮务员的同时,还替人劈栅栏木条挣零花钱。一个寒冷的早晨,他走出家门时,看见一个年轻的邻居用破布裹着光脚,正在劈一堆从旧马厩拆下来的木料,说是想挣一块钱去买双鞋。他便让那青年回到屋里去暖暖脚。过了一阵子,他把斧子还给了那个青年,告诉说木柴已经劈好,可以去卖钱买鞋了。

    有一次,他当测量员在彼得斯堡测量后,故意把一条本可以笔直的街道设计成为弯的,是为了保全一个穷苦的孤儿寡母家庭的住房。如果把街道建成直的,这可怜的一家人岂不要露宿街头!

    这位一贫如洗、地位卑微的年轻人在25岁时通过竞选当选为议会议员。

   1860年5月,51岁的他参加总统竞选,在全国代表大会上,“拥护者阿伯,拥护劈栅栏木条候选人”的呼声终日不息,最终他击败了对手,成为美国第16届总统。

   他便是被马克思誉为“全世界的一位英雄”的亚伯拉罕·林肯。应该说,除了他的不屈不挠、坚持不懈、一往无前的奋斗精神外,同情弱者、无私善良的崇高美德,为他奠定了成功的基石。

   诸葛长青：孟子曰：得道多助，失道寡助。林肯的成功，不仅在他的勤奋努力，也在他心存善念，与民方便的浩然正气中。

 南无阿弥陀佛，南无阿弥陀佛，南无阿弥陀佛！
南无本师释迦牟尼佛。福生无量天尊。孔子。耶稣。穆罕默德。
 十方三世诸佛菩萨。

 三界十方一切神仙。
 古今中外一切圣贤。
           诸恶莫作，众善奉行。持之以恒、有求必应。
