All these poular scientists and biologists and moviemakers and basketball players all tried their best, but we ALL make mistakes. you cannot just blame someone else because of a mistake, everyone makes them and no one will judge. I agree the golden key to success is to believe in yourself  and we will meet someone who sees greatness in us. But some people will not fin someone that sees it, if that happens we must trust in God. God gets ua through the bad times and the good times, mistakes and sins. He can help us, that is why he put us on this earth in the first place. I believe that we should trust in God and trust that he will take care of us. I know there are people out there that do not agree with what im saying but thats fine, not everyone in the whole world can agree. Now you said to give a personal example to what i read.. so here goes. I play volleyball and i do not run right, when i run my legs dont really bend much, but i dont do it on purpous, if i could stop it i would. But everytime i do it my dad gets mad and yells at me saying i wont be able to play sports if i keep doing it. So i try not to do it but then it looks even worse, then he gets more mad at me. Eventually i just stopped caring what he thought of me and i prayed to get help with my running and i tried to believe in myself but still to this day i still run like that. Ive gotten better but i still run tlike that. in conlusion, i agree and dissagree

the correct answer is option d. the nature of democracy. on november 19, 1863, president abraham lincoln delivered his famous gettysburg address in gettysburg, pennsylvania. in his speech, rather than focusing on details of the war (soldiers, casualties, aftermath of battle), lincoln invoked the very nature of democracy, that power ultimately comes from the people, when stating, “government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish”. these words mean that democracy is a government by the people (citizens) in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by the people or by their elected representatives for the benefit of all citizens. the survival of democracy in the united states is one of the reasons why this speech so significant today.
