aus un ah.. prang n22log lang, ang hirap nun ah! tryng to live agen aftr your failure
even the “smartest” and “world-renowned” personalities has their own failures.
i remember what my ate said that even einstein (we all know him) rejected for a job for 1oo times!
and look who he is right now.. GENIUS!
This man is one of my pesonal heroes
Try and try until you die!!!heheheheh!!!!!mali pala…Try and try until you succeed…I really really admire those kind of person living in this planet!!hehehe!!ok sya di ba…may lahing pusa……ok..serious na………she’s great….
so basically experiences teach u. nadadapa ka pero dapat 2mayo ka sa pagkakadapang un. mistake in life is inevitable. we are just human. pero dapat sa susunod, maitama na.

hehe..the greatest test ever for a man is not how well he performs wen everything’s ok,but on how he stands up and fight wen everything seems to be not falling into it’s respectives places..
try and tyr until u succeed…yan ang nangyari…dont give up!
failures are just stepping stones to success!
it just reminded me that, the ends are far better than the beginnings…i don’t want to have a glorious beginning yet a tragic ending!
THE END OF THE MATTER IS MATTER THE END!
However, if it is better to have a wonderful end, it is best to be successful in both, an ever inspiring beginning and amazing end!
,.hahahaha..galing..aus un ah..sinu ba sya?!..di ku naman sya kilala eh..

there is a saying
IF YOU LOSE , PRACTICE HARD BETTER NEXT TYM FOR MORE EFFORT AND SACRIFICE YOURSELF NOT ONLY YOU.. FOR YOUR COUNTRY AS WELL…
there a no born losers in this world…
winners arent borned…
but winners are made..
each of us is a winner… ^_^
tama di ba??
wawa nman cia !!!!!!!!!
peo okey un kc nbwi nmn s huli!!!!!!!!
and my ksbihan save the best for the last!!!!
tma ba!!!!!!! ang cguro pgsubok lng un pra m test cia!!!!!!!!!!
16th US president. so Honest Abe was pres. Abraham Lincoln. wow. ganda pla ng political career ni late pres. Lincoln. Parang mga bida sa mga teleserye. sa una lng ntatalo. pero sa huli, cia p rin ang panalo! haha! astig!
wow, ang galing naman nia….
motto yata nia: never,never, never give up!!!!! he’s really a strong man ‘coz he can still stand and face the world after every failure he experience….
-God let us experience failures to make us stronger person and most especially to test our faith with him.,
-si abraham lincoln ba ung presidente ng united states na na-aassassin?
huwaaaaaaaw!!!!????
he really never gave up…it is better to die struggling rather than die without even trying hek2x!!!, . . un ung tntwag n kpal; ng mukha!!?? tma b!!??
wowwwwwwwww.galing nmn ni abe..its true that u must learn first to fail before you succeed
hehe… ngayon ko lang nakilala si Abe.. galing nya no??? lesson: 1. failure means you try, those who didnt try didnt failed, the term for those is coward.. not failure 2. and failure is the best driving force to try again and never give up.
after reading ths you wud probably thought of how wud failure can become our best companion or greatest teacher we cud ever had,life s not always that cruel,sometimes yes but as we go further we can see for ourselves that failure s d 1 thing that pushes us to aim high.
Failures are the key to success……more failures….more success!!!
…….dont give up if you have so much failures…just thank God that he just giving you such failures…for you to be successful!!
i guess this man is really determine..na khit ilang beses pa sya na nbigo, nandun prin ang pagsusumikap nya na maabot ang mga pangarap nya sa buhay, isang bgay na dpat nating matutunan, ang hwag bumitiw sa ating mga pangarap…at patuloy na abutin ang mga ‘yon..
i think it’s just fair to treat him as one of the greatest man who ever walked on this planet, sa dami ba namn ng failures nia..
-inspiring ha.heheü ang galing nya..ü
-he didn’t give up despite all the failures..ü
-faith?!!heheü
may nabasa na din ako tungkol sa kanya, ang alam ko hindi lang iyon ang kapalpakan na nangyari sa buhay niya… dapat talaga hindi tayo sumuko kahit ano ang mangyari…
after all the failures in his life, he never gave up… he’s really grate man…
*great
inspiring,,,,,,,
let’s used our failures as stepping stone and not a burden and hindrance for us to stumble
nice one.. thumbs up for this man.. hope i can be like him who doesn’t give up easily inspite of all the failures he had..
yes! i agree, its really inspiring,, our failures is just an opportunity to become a better or the best of what we are…
“OUR GREATEST GLORY LIES NOY IN NEVER FAILING BUT IN RISING EVERY TIME WE FALL”
-napoleon
naks nmn !!!!un ang dapat 2laran….kht n ganun ung mga unang nanyari sa knya…nakabangon p dn cia sa knyang pgkakadapa…IDOL…HEHEHE
success doesnt mean having no failure, but standing after a fall.
wow!great tlaga!
after all the failures n naranasan nya nd p dn xa ng give up.,lakas ng fighting spirit nya noh!
dapat ganun din tau,khit anong mngyari kayanin ntin ang mga problems and failures n darating sa atin.,hehe.,madrama!!
pero totoo yan! don’t give up! anjan lng palgi c God to guide and help!!
a great man success is shaped by its failure.. i remember the book that was given to me by my cousin whan i was first year high school, it was entitles DARE TO FAIL by Billi PS Lim, it was a compilation of great man story of success and you know what’s the similarity of their stories they all experience downfall not only once in their life, it is indeed that the main ingredients of one’s success is failure
i id just one evidence that anything that can’t kill you will make you stronger
wow,,galing,,nung una napkamisfortunate ng buhay pero after trying a lot,,grabe ngsucceed din xa,,
that’s my man!
instead of living with his failures, he overcame all of them! 
A man who fails in the elections & nominations but wins on determination.
sometimes life’s a paradox…
whoever looses many times has the highest honors in the end!
i love his name…
magkatukayo sila ng tatay ko.
failure?
ksma tlga yan sa buhay..
pno tyo mtututo kung wla nian..
juz try and try until you dir..
este succeed pla…
hehehe…
failure base on our experience is one of our best teacher…
at least naging president xa.tlagang kung resilient ka,me maganda kang kinabukasan.
_applause!!!
failures lead you to success!!
abraham lincoln if i’m not mistaken!!!
yeah he is really inspiring!!!!!
Failures are part of living, just the same as breathing. Not everytime, you end up the victor. All it takes to be graet is an honest mind and a brave heart.
Sabi nga nila, “If it doesn’t kill you, it just makes you stronger.”
sir’ dare to fail???hehe .. .
failures failures failures.. .be thankful we have such.. . successes are sweeter once it rooted from a number of mistakes db?
galing naman nya…sa dami ng problema na dumating sa kanya, he didn’t lose hope…yan ang hanep!!!
try and try until you succeed! never lose hope and believe in yourself… very inspiring!!
failure is really the key to success…
sobrang galing nman nya.. he’s perfect to be idolized. he just thought as not to give up whenever we fail to achieve something. never lose hope!! he’s really one of a kind… even di ko sya kilala because i’m not into american politics..
astigin si kuya… tama… laging tatandaan… try and try atleast you tried… malay mo makalusot ka… dba! basta coolness si kuya
failure makes you a better person!
there is no perfect person in this world…when you fall just bounce back higher…
o diba isa pang panalo ito…sabi nga Failure is not defeat unless you stop trying….kaya hayun ang lolo mo WINNER talaga…tsaka always remember that behind the mountain of difficulties, there lies a valley of success…kaya strive for excellence OWGEY…
he just prove na pag may sipag at tiyaga ay aasenso ka(ala Senator Villar jejeje)
marami na nangyari sa life niya pero hindi siya sumuko kaso abnormal un pumatay sa kanya e …ayon sa National Treasures- Book of secrets nakalagay sa Booth’s diary kung sino pumatay sa kanya..sino kaya un???at sa gitna pa ng panunuod niys ng opera..naremember ko tuloy un…jejeje
kapag nadap, matutong tumayo..bow
wow!!!nakakatuwa!!!!who would ever know???
after his so many failures he got up and continue his journey!!!!and he was successful bout it…hehehe..
his story is one proof na we must never give- up!!!!
we fight, get beat, rise and fight again..
galing Abe!Abe galing!haha..
doing your best is more important than being the best..
i remembered the story of abraham lincoln…
nice!!!
well,i’m proud of him…….skabila ng lhat ng mga kabiguan s buhay ay ngawa pren nyang magpatuloy at magtgumpay……kya naniniwala aq n ang bawat tagumpay ay kailangan ng pagsisikap atpagpupurcge para mkamtan ito…..ngunit kung ikaw ay nsa 2gatog n ng tgumpay ay lging icpin n nkatapak k pren sa lupa……..at gwin ang lhat pra s ikagagaling at ikakabuti ng lhat…….lalu n at ang nais mung tgumpay ay ang pmumuno..
..resilient..that’s who he is.
we should be tough although it is sometimes too tiring to start all over again and too hard to face everyone again with the same grace you had before you fell down.
..despite the embarrassment we experienced and the regrets that we carry in our hearts..the only thought that could give as hope is the thought that people see your efforts..they will recognize it..and for all you know they admire you and you are an inspiration to them.
BE STRONG!
“A man is is not finished when he is defeated. He is finished when he quits”
“victory is sweetest wen you’ve known defeat”..
very inspiring yung kwento niya..
hindi siya nawalan ng pagasa..
All the great people I know, be it from history or up to the present times have gone through a rough road before they established themselves as individuals worthy of respect, honor and admiration….
the success of man depends on how he takes every downfall he suffered.. they who are successful in life use the trials they encountered as stepping stones for them to grab their success.
failure is not a reason to give up…
everyday that God makes morning,
it brings a thousand treasure…
a thousand memories to make…
a better you to create…
you should not surrender until the war is over.
failure….
is just a challenge that we have to face…
to be successful in life…
..aus ah.. bouncing back higher after the great fall…! kse we make our own lives… khit ganu kdami png pagturn down sten,.. asa saten p rin if ppaapekto tau dun.. if thatn thing will breakl us..basta be optimistic and never lose hope..
ang galing nmn.. idol.. kahit ilang beses cxang bumagsak parang wala lang.. parang kasabihan lang hah.. try and try until you succeed.. konek? hehe ^_^.
abraham lincoln
pagkatapos ng sunod sunod na kamalasang inabot sa buhay… di sumuko hanggang tagumpay…
whatta man!!!
life is full of struggles and defeats that need to overcome and if we manage to survive all of these struggles and defeats it will makes as a strong person and we will be able to gather lots of experiences from all those not so good things happened in your life…
wow!!!
…there’s a saying…”try and try until u succeed”…
…never gave up watever obstacles u’ve encountered…
HAnep ka ABE!
Tatag mo din ah?
IDOL na kita mula ngaun!
Bihira may ganyan kakayahan
I love ABE!
ASTIG sya….kahit na nagkanda leche leche na buhay nya e hindi pa rin sya sumuko….Dapat talaga maging matatag tayo sa lahat ng pagsubok na pagdadaanan natin habang tayo ay nabubuhay…
-XVII-
wow…..like churchill’s story ah….
failure would really lead you to succeed…
it would mold you…
(whoa!anun k clay???)
is he Abraham Lincoln??
sana maging katulad ni Abe ang anak ko minus the health problems…
hahaha…ang lupet!
i think that’s one of best example in life…
fight!fight!
“try and try until you succeed”
wow, what a man! what a great man! wala na ko masabi, “FAILURES serve as the STEPPING STONE for SUCCES”
good judgement comes from bad experience and a lot of it come from bad judgement….
We always learn from failures and mistakes. why? Simple lang. anu bang lesson ang nakukuha mo everytime you succeed? Get the point? Good
learn from our own mistakes…
tat’s the best way to look forward that life is nice to live…
siguro, sa lahat ng naging presidente ng amerika, kay pre sident llincoln lang talaga ako bilib na bilib…
pano ba naman, ang tibay talaga ng taong ito…
pinagdamutan na siya ng lahat ng suwerte ng tadhana, matigas talaga ang ulo, hirit pa rin nang hirit…
ayon, naging pangulo din sa huli…
kaya nga naman “dare to fail” talaga ang motto para sa taong ito…
abe showed that people can always be turned down by the bitterness of reality, but with a resilent determination and onlooking vision, we will harvest the fuit of sucess in the end…
malamang, yung mga nakalistang kamalsan ni abe, iilan lang sa mga naranasan niya…
pero ang importante, hindi siya sumuko…
no guts, no glory…
ABE
A man BEyond his fate….
eh ano pa nga ba masasabi ko…ganun naman talaga..madaming super great men who once lived on this planet..hehehe…
lesson to ponder? lives of great men should leave a footprints in our hearts…for us to live our life not maybe as best as what they did but best to what we already had…
the moment we want to be someone we are no longer free..
kaya bakit mo hahangarin na lampasan ang nagawa ng iba?bakit hindi mo hangaring lampasan ang nagawa mo na…..motto q yan.. corny(“,)
.., kLngan nmn tLga un s buhay eah..
un Lang.

Sa pag abot sa ating mga pangarap madami tayong pagsubok na pinagdadaanan at isa sa mga ito ay ang madapa. Kalimitan kinakahiya ng tao kapag sila ay nadadapa dahil ito daw ay kahinaan. Ok lang na madapa dahil sa bawat ating pagkadapa natuto tayong bumangon. At sa bawat ating pagbangon natuto tayo sa buhay, maitatama ang mga mali, nagiging malakas tayo. Kahit puno na ng sugat ang ating mga tuhod hanggat patuloy tayo sa pagbangon tiyak mararating natin ang ating mga pangarap.
wow.. amazing,, destiny
Some Thoughts to ponder…pra s srili q.. tnx sir jan!

un un eh..
matagumpay niang nkamit ang knyang Hot choclate!
Very inspiring..
a proof that nobody can reach the top without meeting failures… we can’t cheat genuine success…
it’s a matter of valuing the lessons learned during the journey to success…
isa syang inspirasyonm sa kagaya kong humaharap sa pagkakadapa gawa ng mga dagok sa buhay, na pinipilit bumangon at harapin ng taas noo ang kagubatan ng buhay.
abe lincoln was also called a “monkey” by one of his colleagues who eventually became one of his trusted men. Abe lincoln is great not for his achievements but because of his failures and how he turned these “mountains” to mere “mole hills”.
really? mkapgaral nga tungkol sa us presidents….
he’s abraham lincoln?… sb sa net eh…
cant believe it..
anyweiz, i do still have hope.. hehe…
” success is not an easy task, u can’t hav it with just a snap of ur fngers… rather it needs a lotof hardships and pain”
failuressss b4 success..aus un!!.ang strong nya..gnun tlaga ang buhay..d lhat pagkbgo..d rn lhat tgumpay…
everybody needs inspiration
let’s try to pick rightful ones ^.~
point to ponder: anything can happen. you can be great (if you work hard for it)
all i can say is that, an individual must first experience defeat, and soon after that, that individual will surely be rewarded….
…failures muna bago success………..
…totoo nga ang kasabhang try and try until u succeed…….
..siguro inisip ng nasa taas n hindi bagay sa kanya ang medyo mababang position sa politics….
…maghahangad ka rin lang syempre ‘yong pinakamataas na…
am…..di ko siya kilala pero….wow ah…puro failure siya….most promising failure in the world..
pero he only shows….that quitter never wins…and winner never quit….he just learn from all his mistakes that is why he became a better person…
wow! i didn’t know that.all i know is that he’s one of the famous president of usa..great!!! after all the trials he still manage to stand up!what a strong man..
after ng napakaraming kamalasan atleast nakilala pa rin xa!! kaya dapat tayo ay hindi naeaealan ng pagasa
even you have encounter many defeated in life you nid stand and make new expression to the others……..
abe is great man that never give up in her journey….
