#Person2#: Don't give up so soon. 
#Person1#: But I don't know what else I can do. I am willing to work hard. Sometimes I make mistakes and the boss is not happy. 
#Person2#: Mistakes are just a lessons to learn from. 
#Person1#: Tell that to my boss. 
#Person2#: Do you know Abraham Lincoln? 
#Person1#: Yes. 
#Person2#: He grew up poor in Kentucky and barely had a year of schooling, but he went on to become the President of United States. 
#Person1#: He was also assassinated because of his views. 
#Person2#: He is known as American's greatest president. Do you know why? Because he fought against slavery and secession at a time in history where others were too afraid to do anything. He succeeded because of his ambition and generous spirit. 
#Person1#: Well, if he can become president, then I can at least get a promotion. 
#Person2#: That's the spirit. Never give up on your dream.
