I chose the best in sports, business, and personal life – the things that get me up to defy the odds on days when I need a boost.

Business:  Apple was near bankruptcy when Steve Jobs returned as CEO in 1997. He streamlined products, launched the iMac, iPod, and later the iPhone, transforming Apple into the most valuable company in the world from $1 billion in losses to $3 trillion in valuation.

Personal:  JK Rowling rejected by 12 publishers to go on and become one of the most successful authors with Harry Potter.

Space:  After an oxygen tank exploded aboard Apollo 13 mid-mission, NASA engineers and astronauts improvised fixes under extreme pressure to bring the crew safely home. A “successful failure” that redefined crisis management.

Sports:  Soccer or more accurately the Union of European Football Associations. In the UEFA Champions League Final, Liverpool trailed AC Milan 3-0 at halftime. Against all odds, they scored 3 goals in 6 minutes during the second half, then won on penalties. It’s considered one of the greatest comebacks in sports history.

The “biggest” comeback is about defying odds, refusing to quit, and doing the seemingly impossible – a reminder that resilience is humanity’s superpower.
