Appalachian State 34 Michigan 32 Even sports fanatics were saying "Appalachian Who?" Even people who did not know much about sports knew that it was big news that some tiny school from North Carolina had beaten perennial powerhouse Michigan on their field no less. People have long detested the New York Yankees for no other reason than they win. People right now are rooting against the New England Patriots because the press has painted them as invincible.

"Rocky" sold tickets because it was the story of a small time fighter, several time loser who proved himself and took it to Apollo Creed.
All the world loves to see the underdog win. They love to see the unbeatable beaten. What this tells me is that even though you have failed innumerable times that when you make your comeback it is going to be that much more impressive. It is going to be that much more of a story. People will talk about it. Your friends and family who knew you when, will be moved, in some cases to tears, when you pull yourself up and make something of yourself.
That is what you think about on that day you decide to change your life. That is what you dream about when you are asleep. That is what you meditate about when you are awake.
How good will it feel when you run into your former boss who told you that you will never amount to anything and you are able to look him in the eye and know that he knows that he was wrong. How about that girlfriend who left you because you were a loser
I do not care how many bankruptcies you have had. I do not care how many failed marriages. I do not care how long you have battled substance abuse issues. You can turn it around.
