A hit can be as much emotional and physical
As financial.
A ‘haircut’ on the stock market
When you are forced to write off
Debts owed to you;
Market forces
Property losses
A fraud
A con
A scam
A theft
A loss which you can’t afford.
You think you’ve reached the top
In business
When –
A terrible mistake
Bad luck
Bad timing
Bad judgement
Means you face the chop.
A car crash
A victim of crime.
You think you’ve caught the ball
When suddenly you stumble;
Instead of a catch it’s a fumble.
It drops through your fingers
In front of eighty thousand spectators.
Disappointment in love
Dumped
Divorce
Death of a loved one
Can you take the knock?
Are you hard as Rock?
Can you flex and absorb the shock?
Are you fit?
Can you take the hit?
