I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom. When people are at their lowest, they tend to believe that they are the furthest they can or will ever be. They give up or even say that nothing can be done. But, when you look at the person who is bouncing, you see a different picture.

The person who keeps bouncing even though things are tough has the greatest potential to succeed. They have the most hope for the future regardless of what anyone else thinks. The ability to bounce back regardless of circumstances is a sign of great character.
