Terry Evanshen, one of Canadian football's greatest players, has completely lost his memories of his playing days, though he ever made great achievements.
It was in the summer of 1988 after he stopped playing in competitions that he succeeded in his business. One day in July, Terry, on his way home from work, had a terrible car accident. He was knocked unconscious, and within minutes he was rushed to the nearby hospital.
Three weeks later, he woke up. However, it became obvious that Terry's injuries were far more serious than whatever damage had been done to his body. A lifetime of memories had been completely wiped clean.
At age 44, Terry Evanshen would be starting all over again. Luckily he had the support of his family, helped by small victories and a renewed bond between him and his three daughters like when they taught him how to play football again.
In 1992, his recovery really began to pick up steam. It has taken more than 20 years to rebuild his shattered(破碎的) life. Today Terry is a popular public speaker. He tells his story of never giving up and taking up your courage to do what you are afraid of. "Never forget, we're all in this game of life together. We will get to the finishing line, one day at a time, one moment at a time, but celebrate the journey. Seize today, because yesterday is gone and is never coming back." As the subject of the most watched Canadian movie of 2005, The Man Who Lost Himself, Evanshen says his family has been his most important treasure. He refuses to be a victim, saying he is a survivor.
