Never Give Up

Have you given up on yourself, have people told you,you are incapable of doing anything. Have you gotten to the stage where all hope seems lost, then it is time to start over again.

Have you given up on your dreams and goals in life.I want to tell you, you can start afresh again, you can dream again.Do not let people determine the outcome of your life.You can become who you want to be if you put your mind on it 

Here are some few examples of people who did not give up on themselves:

• Oprah Winfrey: Most people know Oprah as one of the most iconic faces on TV as well as one of the richest and most successful women in the world. Oprah faced a hard road to get to that position, however, enduring a rough and often abusive childhood as well as numerous career setbacks including being fired from her job as a television reporter because she was "unfit for television." Inspite of the setbacks, that did not deter her from achieving her goals.
• Winston Churchill: Churchill struggled in school and failed the sixth grade. After school he faced many years of political failures, as he was defeated in every election for public office until he finally became the Prime Minister at the ripe old age of 62.
• Thomas Edison: In his early years, teachers told Edison he was "too stupid to learn anything." Work was no better, as he was fired from his first two jobs for not being productive enough. Even as an inventor, Edison made 10,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb. Of course, all those unsuccessful attempts finally resulted in the design that worked.
• Harrison Ford: In his first film, Ford was told by the movie execs that he simply didn't have what it takes to be a star. Today, with numerous hits under his belt, iconic portrayals of characters like Han Solo and Indiana Jones, and a career that stretches decades, Ford can proudly show that he does, in fact, have what it takes.
• Stan Smith: This tennis player was rejected from even being a lowly ball boy for a Davis Cup tennis match because event organizers felt he was too clumsy and uncoordinated. Smith went on to prove them wrong, showcasing his not-so-clumsy skills by winning Wimbledon, U. S. Open and eight Davis Cups.

Take that step of faith and dream again, do not be moved by what people say about you, their words are just stepping stones to your breakthroughs in life.If people do not talk about you, you will not know your weakness and your strength. These people who I mentioned use their weaknesses in becoming who they are today, they did not relent on themselves despite the setbacks they faced, they mustered courage to keep on trying and trying until they got their desires.Always keep in mind that it is normal to face challenges but the ultimate goal is overcoming them in the long run.Challenges are to strengthen you and not to break you.

DONT EVER EVER GIVE UP, LOVE YOU ALL.
