Rocky said to his son:

You won't believe this. But you were so old, and I called you up and said to your mother: This kid is going to be the best kid in the world, this kid is going to be the best person ever, and you've grown up, nice and wonderful. Watching you grow is a blessing every day. Then you have to start self-reliance and go out into the world, and you did. But at a certain point, you change, you stop being who you are, and you allow others to point your face and say you're not good. When times are bad and you start looking for things to blame, like huge shadows, let me tell you one thing you already know, the world isn't all sunshine and rainbows, it's a very mean and dirty place. I don't care how hard you are, as long as you allow it, it will knock you to your knees permanently. You, me, no one, can hit harder than life, but what matters is not how hard you can hit, but how hard you can endure and keep moving forward, how much you can bear and keep moving forward, this is called victory ! If you know your worth, fight for your worth, but you have to be willing to take a beating and not point at someone saying that he, she, or anyone else is holding you down. Cowards do this, you are not a coward. You're better than that!

You ain't gonna believe this.But you used to fit right here.I hold you up and said to your mother.This kid's gonna be the best in the world.This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody ever knew.And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilege. Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world. And you did. But somewhere on the line, you changed. You stopped being you. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. And when things got hard, you start to look for something to blame like a big shadow. Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshines and rainbows.It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't care how tough you are, it'll beat you to your knees and keep it there permanently if you let it.You,me and nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward How much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth.But you gotta be willing to take the hits.And not pointing fingers saying you ain't what you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody.Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!And not pointing fingers saying you ain't what you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!And not pointing fingers saying you ain't what you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!
