Boxing is a profession

I was very impressed when Bullock said "this is my profession" when warned that the final opponent had killed two people. He said that "workers working in three shifts and working at heights may all die", but there are still people working, for living and for professional responsibility.

What is a career? What is professionalism?

Occupation is the main entrance to the social network, and people are the sum of all social relationships. Only when people have occupations can they have a strong relationship with society. Bullock's profession is a boxer, and the society gives him feedback "Iron Fist Man". People know him and know that this person is a boxer. If he loses this profession, his second choice is to be a porter in the dock, and the society's feedback to him It's just odd jobs. Whether it is punching or carrying, this is the entrance to the relationship with the society, Brock invests himself, the society gives Brock the social label, and the reward for continuing to survive in the society. This principle remains unchanged. The fear of unemployment lies in being divorced from society and ultimately unable to survive in society. When people are separated from social relations, they become a creature, a pure animal.

Professionalism is that every industry has risks. When you do a job, you can do it well. When Brock was a boxer, he was full of perseverance and perseverance. Even though his right hand was fractured and his ribs were injured, he still stood on the ring. He didn't win the match due to the injury. He explained to the organizing committee very sincerely, "I was injured, and I tried my best. He really tried his best, but he was still fired because he was not professional enough. I saw some comments that this movie was about the transformation of a boy into a man, so at this time, he was a boy, and he blamed him for not winning. on injury. Later, the agent found him and returned to the ring. He has grown up and is very professional. When facing a very strong opponent, he is willing to check the opponent's past match videos and know who he is. When he finally won, he said "not everyone gets a second chance", yeah, not everyone gets a second chance....

Therefore, no matter what you do at work, how to make the work to the extreme in 8 hours and make it only professional enough are some thoughts I got from the film.
