The Story of Rocky Balboa

If you go youtube and google for "The story of Rocky", you will be able to hear an amazing story of the journey of a famous hollywood star, Sylvester Stallone. Sylvester, since young, doesn't want to fall for a life that is "ordinary". He knew that he is special. As a result, he doesn't want to fall for an ordinary job. One day, he go and watch a boxing match of the legendary boxing champion, Muhamad Ali, and got so inspired by the match that he immediately came out with a (what he think) fantastic scribe...... The story of ROCKY. The story has been bought by movie producer, and he is invited to be the key actor (Rocky)and rich and fame follows.....

A summarized story makes success look so EASY..... In actual fact, if you listen to Tony's talk about how much challenges Sylvester faces:

 1. Due to lack of a stable job, Sylvester have to lend money from friends, relatives. As soon as you do that, your friends and families will shy from you.

 2. At a point of his life, he had to pound his wife jewelry. His wife left him.

 3. When he run out of money, and have no more choice, he sorted for the last option: To pound his beloved DOG.

 4. When he got his script, he taught, that's it! that's my ticket out! and started to sell, push and promote his ROCKY script. He got rejected, not once, not 5, but close to 100 times before finally someone agreed to offer him a small sum of money. Sylvester is stupid, stubborn. He want to be ROCKY.

And this has pissed off the producer.

He is so committed that the producer, after many round of negotiation, give in to his request.

Do you think you can sustain the pain? of rejection by friends, families, wifes, strangers, colleagues? Can you give up your family? your beloved pets for the sack of SUCCESS? FAME? WEALTH? PURPOSE OF LIFE?

How many blow can you take? How many rejection are you willing to face?

Many of us won't.

That's why many of us remain ORDINARY!
