In numerous occasions, it happens that when we failed to achieve a goal and then subsequently decide against a further attempt. I am too no stranger to this situation and often did the same but most of the time commanded myself loudly ‘well, get up and start all over’. When failure is in your back, same finishing line will be a distant dream but it is not impossible. Getting motivated while result is unknown is a thorny task. Why not take an example from King Robert Bruce and his motivation that he got from a spider. Time to look beyond the window for some extraordinary courage and comebacks and that certainly can help us to give a kick to our dying aspiration. Every fields and from all walks of life there are a lots who can give you a lesson without charging a dime, just have to get the signal. Always looking for inspiration and got it from different dimensions. Today I will write about some exceptional comebacks in sports arena, in sports to achieve a goal in highest order is more difficult because physical and mental fitness both are equally needed for the said achievement that once eluded. Do not look for a miracle, the miracle cannot pull you out, it is you and only you can do it. I always believe that no one in this world having enough power that can influence the course of my fate, it all lies with me and with my God.
