Answer 1

I don't know what else to say, except,

absolutely.

Answer 2

Of course! There are very few things in life that can't be undone. All you need is the confidence and self-motivation to go forward. I'm sure if you (or whoever the question is aimed at) could do anything if they worked hard and put their mind to it. Never give up!

Answer 3

Read the autobiography of Malcolm X.  He was able to overcome a bad childhood, a life of drugs, crime and prison to turn his life around. His story is just one example.

Answer 4

If you have the will, then anything is possible. I know it sounds cliche, but it's true. You only have one life to live, give it your all before you give up on it

Answer 5

yes... but you need to start really small -- or you'll just get discouraged. start by finding things you like and let positive changes grow.  

Answer 6

   Everyone makes mistakes, and too...we all get the blues. Some of the most influential people in history did not start on top. I can't promise you HUGE success...but if you get up off your knees and keep trying, I'm sure you'll do just fine. Don't set your sights to high...but set them....Good luck!

"Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future." Remember that and you will feel better.  

Answer 9

Yes.  I forget his name, but do a search for the guy who came up with "New Coke".  He got fired and then went on to a new job and worked his way back up to become hugely successful again.  :)
