Donald Trump's comeback is one of the most dramatic of all time—as well as one of the most visible. According to a well-known anecdote, one day when he was $1 billion in debt, Trump pointed out a homeless man to his daughter and said, "See that bum? He has a billion dollars more than me."

What was the lowest point of your career or personal life? How did you bounce back? What was it that pulled you up from the depths? What do you think it is about your personality that allowed you to learn from difficult times, rather than being consumed and overwhelmed by them?
The lowest point was in the early 1990's. I owed billions of dollars and many people thought I was finished. I am listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for having the biggest financial turnaround in history and I'm far more successful now. What helped is that I refused to give in to the negative circumstances and I never lost faith in myself. I didn't believe I was finished even when the newspapers were saying so.
I knew that things were cyclical and also I'm a firm believer that you should look at the solution, not the problem. I focused on the solution and refused to give up. Being tenacious is part of my personality and I'm not easily discouraged. It's necessary to be tough in the business I'm in, or in any business for that matter, and in certain situations you either have to be equal to the challenge or be defeated. Defeat is not in my vocabulary personally or professionally, which I think served me well in my comeback.

Words from a great man, a brilliant businessman and exceptional person who is also extremely generous and kind. Thank God, literally we are blessed to have Donald Trump running and winning for President!
EVERY successful man (or woman) has encountered failures along the way. The measure of character and determination can be found in how quickly and how far they recover.
There’s a video floating around Facebook. It’s one of several from Trump that is very inspiring and uplifting. Great stuff from the side that wants everyone to succeed.
Compare that to Cruz’s continued wedge operation.
GO TRUMP.
Thank you for posting this, it’s good stuff.
Trump for President.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on!”

I have always loved this by Kipling... My son can still recite this from homeschooling..
