First, please consider this list of failures and successes(http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/education/failures.htm) in the life of Abraham Lincoln. We're suggesting that one of Lincoln's greatest attributes was his ability to recover and learn from failure. The quality of perseverance seemed especially useful to Lincoln as he struggled with "melancholy" (what might now be called depression) Please read this related article (https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2005/10/lincolns-great-depression/304247/) by Joshua Wolf Shenk.
