7 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Give Up (either)

There was a man born into poverty. If that wasn't enough, his family lost their home. If that wasn't enough, he had to work to keep the family afloat. If that wasn't enough, his mother died. If that wasn't enough, his business failed. If that wasn't enough, he ran for office and lost. If that wasn't enough, he borrowed some money to get back into business and went bankrupt. If that wasn't enough, he ran for office again and won, but the woman he was engaged to marry, died. If that wasn't enough, he had a nervous breakdown and was bedridden for 180 days.

5. Too many people are relying on you.
6. This too shall pass.
7. You might be President some day?
