SUCCESS STORY {Its Abraham lincoln}



Probably the greatest example of persistence is Abraham Lincoln. If you want to learn about somebody who didn’t quit, look no further. Born into poverty, Lincoln was faced with defeat throughout his life. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and suffered a nervous breakdown. He could have quit many times – but he didn’t and because he didn’t quit, he became one of the greatest presidents in the history of our country.
Lincoln was a champion and he never gave up. Here is a sketch of Lincoln’s road to the White House:
  • 1816 His family was forced out of their home. He had to work to support them.
  • 1818 His mother died.
  • 1831 Failed in business.
  • 1832 Ran for state legislature – lost.
  • l832 Also lost his job – wanted to go to law school but couldn’t get in.
  • 1833 Borrowed some money from a friend to begin a business and by the end of the year he was bankrupt. He spent the next 17 years of his life paying off this debt.
  • 1834 Ran for state legislature again – won.
  • 1835 Was engaged to be married, sweetheart died and his heart was broken.
  • 1836 Had a total nervous breakdown and was in bed for six months.
  • 1838 Sought to become speaker of the state legislature – defeated.

SUCCESS STORY {Its Henry Ford}




Born on July 30, 1863 on a Dearborn, Michigan farm, Henry Ford created the Ford Model T car in 1908 and went on to develop the assembly line mode of production, which revolutionized the industry. As a result, Ford sold millions of cars and became a world-famous company head. The company lost its market dominance but had a lasting impact on other technological development and U.S. infrastructure.

Early Career

In 1888, Ford married Clara Ala Bryant and briefly returned to farming to support his wife and son, Edsel. But three years later, he was hired as an engineer for the Edison Illuminating Company. In 1883, his natural talents earned him a promotion to Chief Engineer.
All the while, Ford developed his plans for a horseless carriage, and in 1896, he constructed his first model, the Ford Quadricycle. Within the same year, he attended a meeting with Edison executives and found himself presenting his automobile plans to Thomas Edison. The lighting genius encouraged Ford to build a second and better model.

Ford Motor Company

After a few trials building cars and companies, in 1903, Henry Ford established the Ford Motor Company. Ford introduced the Model T in October of 1908, and for several years, the company posted 100 percent gains.
However, more than for his profits, Ford became renowned for his revolutionary vision: the manufacture of an inexpensive automobile made by skilled workers who earn steady wages.

Philosophy, Philanthropy and Anti-Semitism

From a social perspective, Henry Ford’s was marked by seemingly contradictory viewpoints. In business, Ford offered profit sharing to select employees who stayed with the company for six months and, most important, who conducted their lives in a respectable manner.
The company’s “Social Department” looked into an employee’s drinking, gambling and otherwise uncouth activities to determine eligibility for participation. Ford was also an ardent pacifist and opposed World War I, even funding a peace ship to Europe. Later, in 1936, Ford and his family established the Ford Foundation to provide ongoing grants for research, education and development. But despite these philanthropic leanings, Ford was also a committed anti-Semite, going as far as to support a weekly newspaper, The Dearborn Independent, which furthered such views.
Henry Ford died of a cerebral hemorrhage on April 7, 1947, at the age of 83, near his Dear-born estate, Fair Lane. Ford, considered one of America’s leading businessmen, is credited today for helping to build America’s economy during the nation’s vulnerable early years. His legacy will live on for decades to come.

SUCCESS STORY {Its Cristino Ronaldo}

Younger years

Cristiano Ronaldo's success story
Cristiano Ronaldo was born in Santo António, Funchal. Ronaldo was not rich from his childhood. He lacked many luxuries. Ronaldo’s dad named him after his favourite actor, Ronald Raegan. He used to live in a two-room, tin-roofed shack, he shared a single room with his brother and two sisters.  “It was a small space, but I didn’t mind. I’m incredibly close with my brother and sisters and we loved being together. For us it was normal, it was all we knew.” said Ronaldo. Cristiano ronaldo was never intrested in studies and was eventually expelled from the school system aged just 14 after throwing a chair at a teacher who had ‘disrespected him’. After that ronaldo started working at a £380,000-a-week contract at one of Europe’s top football clubs. This was when ronaldo found his way. Ronaldo was intrested in football from his childhood.
After that ronaldo started to make his name as one of the rising stars within the game. He became the only Lisbon player to ever score for the Under-16, Under-17, Under-18, B-team and first-team in a single season when he netted a brace in his first-team debut during a 3-0 victory over Moreirense in October 2002, which proved to be the first of many record-breaking feats for the forward. Ronaldo was diagnosed with a racing heart aged 15, which could have brought an end to his football career. Whether you love him or you hate him, we can all admit that football would be a lot worse off without him.

The Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo's success story
From the off Ronaldo began breaking an array of Madrid’s goalscoring records, previously held by club legends such as Alfredo Di Stéfano and Hugo Sánchez. Much in the same way he progressed at Manchester United, his season stats at Real Madrid steadily increased. 33 goals and 13 assists in the 2009/10 season, 53 goals and 18 assists in 2010/11, and 60 goals and 17 assists in the 2011/12 season. CR7 had evidently become one of the best players that the world had ever seen, and was challenging Lionel Messi for the crown. The talented youngster appears to have finally matured while at Madrid. That may come down to the fact that he now has another child to care for, after paying for the legal rights to his son, born to an unknown mother.
