 This story is about a man who was determined to achieve his goal despite the various setbacks he faced.  

In 1831, he started his first business at the age of 22, but it failed. In 1832, he was defeated for  legislator. In 1833, he started another business and that one also failed. In 1836, he suffered a traumatic mental breakdown. In 1840, he was defeated for elector and had another mental breakdown. His friends were so afraid that he would take his own life, that they confiscated all of the knives, razors, and scissors from his room. Despite the obstacles this man faced, he was still determined to reach his goal. 

He went through three decades of failure before finally becoming the President of the United States in 1860. During this time he worked as a lawyer and had to deal with multiple congressional nominations, his son's death, and being defeated for Senate and Vice President. Despite all this, he strived to reach his goal and with a small win in 1846, he held onto a shred of hope that he could eventually reach his goal. 

Despite his hard life, people still looked at him and thought it was nice to be him. The speaker then goes on to say that people will do the same thing to those who are trying to achieve their goals. They will doubt and criticize them, and even make fun of them behind their back. The speaker then mentions that there are certain people who don't want them to escape the situation they are in, and will try to pull them down. The speaker concludes that when we move forward in life, it holds up a mirror to these people and makes them realize they are not progressing.
