Jerry Butler once stated in his 1969 hit song, "Only The Survive". Well, Given the case of Michael Jackson, he was a true survivor having to deal with all the issue that have been bothering him all his life, Michael still carried himself with poise and dignity. Michael managed to move on with his life though the media;a well, as members of his family continued to hound him even after he passed on back in 2009.

In 1995, Michael stated he had the resiliency to keep on going despite what the tabloids and the media say about him. Just 11 years old when he became internationally famous, Michael's life was never going to be the same, and that was why he didn't want his three children to pursue a career in the entertainment industry. Having survived a near-fatal scalp, two failed marriages, and two child molestation allegations made against him, I could swear Michael had more lives than cat. I've had my share life's disappointments, and it's good to know I'm not the only who can bounce back and keep on going. Even in his darkest hours, Michael never gave up hope, nor throw in the towel, either.
