- When you are down, other people will write you off. don't let them define you.
-  Get mad at those people saying you can't do it.. let it motivate you.

Round 2: Your Plays
- Allow yourself to feel bad for a little while
- Know exactly what you are trying to accomplish
- Sometimes you can learn from failure... sometimes you have to just write it off
- Think like a boxer... when folks think you're down and out, they'll leave you an opening for a counterpunch.

Round 3: Your Plays
- At the heart of every comeback is doing the right thing. Have the courage to make the ethical decision.
- Manage your darkest fears by doing something about it. Take action!
