Listen Later

In today's episode, I have spoken about patience and how patience can help us in our life. I have also narrated a story of Abraham Lincoln and his journey of becoming a President of America from a very humble background. Lincoln is most famous for leading the country during the American Civil War. His leadership in the North helped the country to remain strong and defeat the South keeping the country united. He also pushed for the freedom of all slaves throughout the nation. Abraham Lincoln came from humble beginnings. He was born in a poor farmers family. His father lost everything when Abraham was young and they had to move to Perry County, Indiana where they struggled to get by. When he was just nine years old, his mother died. As a young man, Lincoln worked a variety of jobs including shopkeeper, surveyor, and postmaster. He soon moved into politics and won a seat in the Illinois Legislature, when he was 25. Lincoln served on the Illinois State Legislature for several terms. Abraham Lincoln became the 16th president of the United States and is regarded as one of America's greatest heroes due to his role as savior of the Union and emancipator of enslaved people.
