"Fall Down Seven Times, Stand Up Eight"

If I had to create a bumper sticker that modeled my philosophy for life, it would be "Fall down seven times, stand up eight". This motto relates to my life because I have been through many ups' and downs' and even though it might feel as if sometimes things couldn't get any worse you have to take a hold of the situation and make it positive. Everyday is filled with many obstacles and decisions that you have to live with. Many times I don't always make the right decisions; However, at the end of the day I try not to think about the poor decisions I have made and look forward to learning a lesson to never make those same mistakes again. I feel as if you have learned from a mistake then it has helped you grow as a person and you become more experienced in life.

    Hi John,
    This motto is very true. We all have ups and downs, and the fact is that even from the worse situations there will be an up soon to follow. Sometimes it just comes and other times you have to work hard in order to achieve it.
