LIFE AS WE KNOW IT?

Growing up, mike was certain he had heard the " if you believe you can achieve" speech so much its all he remembers now.

With so much enthusiasm, mike started his first business at the age of thirteen as a paper delivery boy , he would buy papers and deliver them to offices, mike was doing great and earning some money , he was happy to see that the words of his parents were true so he kept putting in more work.

At fifteen Mike was able to save his first $1000, to celebrate this he decided to deliver free papers to his customers, he got on his bicycle and just as he got into the road, he was ran over by a careless truck driver.

Mike is 34 now, sitting on his wheel chair watching the road. No business, no dreams, just hope that he will one day remember who he is. He lost the use of both his legs and suffers retrograde amnesia. Even now he still remembers that if he believes he can achieve, is it safe to say that he hasn't lost hope? I don't know.

Life as we know it? I guess we know so little!
