KNOCKED OUT IN LIFE!

“It's not whether you get knocked down; it's whether you get up”....Vince Lombardi 

 There are so many situations that may knock us down in one way or the other. Most of the times, some of these knock outs could be so severe and terrible to the extent that it could spell the doom of our future. Many people find it difficult to get up and bounce back after being knocked out in life due to accidents, sickness, terrible situations and many breathtaking untold ugly spectacles.

Life is full of so many twists and turns. The most important thing is to get up after we are knocked down. If you don’t get up and bounce back, you will remain in the same ugly situation. Unfortunately, some people have a scarred memory due to what they went through and sworn not to do any good again but the good news is that, others have bounced back after the knock out and the fall. Read their confessions and imagine where they have reached now.
