People won't remember you in many years, but they will remember your reputation

Rocky is an amateur white fighter who earns a living by punching in the gym and collecting loan sharks. He is left-handed. As a boxer, he does not have many advantages. He often loses in exhibition matches, and occasionally wins. Others think he is a loser. . He likes the neighbor's sister, and he goes to the pet store where she works every day to strike up a conversation, but he never gets his heart.


Rocky has always worked hard to live a positive life within his abilities. He escorted a neighbor girl home when he met a neighbor girl and a little rascal, carefully admonishing the 12-year-old girl along the way not to go astray, he said, "What kind of friends you are with, what kind of friends you will become. People. People won't remember you in many years, but they will remember your reputation." But when a person is down, even giving advice is taken lightly.


He collected money for usury, and he said to the debtor, "If you borrow money, you have to pay it back. This is the most basic principle. I will not sympathize with you.". Knowing that the other party didn't have enough money, he didn't take the other party's coat or break his fingers. The lender asked him why he didn't play by the rules, and he said I was worried that he wouldn't be able to live if he couldn't work because of a broken finger. He is also not recognized as a loan shark's lackey because he is kind.



Although there is no ability, but the heart is warm. On a cold winter night, seeing the homeless man who fell down because of the cold, he naturally carried him indoors. A little effort may save a life, although this life is dispensable in the eyes of the world.


Life was full of disappointments, but he never gave up on himself. Even if everyone thought he was a Loser, he wouldn't live as a loser. The owner of the tavern is much more "successful" than him, but he doesn't feel that he knows what real life is.


He was a gentleman and treated Ellie with respect throughout his pursuit. Know her, feel sorry for her, take the initiative to approach her, and maintain a polite distance. Going to Ellie's house on Thanksgiving, he repeatedly checked with her brother if she knew he was going. Sure enough, when Ellie saw him, she immediately turned around and slammed the door back to her room, giving him no hope. Love is sometimes staggered, and sometimes the other party will be slower, but if the person walking in front is not in a hurry and is willing to wait a little longer, maybe it will be another village.


Rocky is a man who never gives up easily. He is very good at taking chances, and he opened Ellie's heart in just ten minutes at the ice rink. Then he insisted on inviting her to his house. As long as the other party is willing to come to understand, he will give all of himself. He praised her, affirmed her, respected her, and touched her heart a little bit.


The people he meets have their own problems, but he has an inclusive heart for everyone.
He was silent, but he was always glowing. It may be these small advantages that are not recognized by the mainstream that merge into the ultimate Rocky that the world cannot forget.


The owner of the boxing gym is a businessman whose ideals have been smoothed out by reality. He has always been less interested in Rocky, and finally gave Rocky's fixed wardrobe to someone else. He viciously told Rocky, who came to the theory, that he did not open an orphanage. He was very dissatisfied with the fact that Rocky helped usury loan accounts. Rocky argued that it was due to the pressure of life, and he disdainfully said that it was a waste of life.


Probably because of this, Rocky ran out and grabbed him and asked him to train himself after he complained when he came to the door and said he wanted to be his manager. Because they are all the same and want to leave something splendid in their limited lives.



That game with a huge disparity in strength was the process of Rocky becoming Rocky. He worked hard and cherished the chance to win a lottery. He knew that he was just a supporting role in the show, but this humble supporting role was also something that millions of boxers wanted but couldn't get. He is not arrogant, and he has moments of cowardice, but he does not give up. He has a clear understanding of himself.


He knows what this game means. He wants to prove that he is not an eternal loser, and he is more afraid of his own confusion than others despise him.


It was the most intense endurance battle. His eyes were so swollen that he couldn't open it, and he still struggled to stand up again and again. In the end, the referee judged the boxing champion to win by points, and the audience burst into applause. He didn't care. When the reporter asked him how he felt after playing 15 rounds, he opened his eyes with only one gap left and called out Ellie's name.


While the world is praising successful people, some people are proud of their defeats. The wounded Rocky grabbed Ellie who ran over and the first sentence was "Where's your hat?". After playing the whole game with injuries, he still remembers his Allie wearing a hat before going on the court. In that noisy and chaotic world, what he cherishes most in his heart is Ellie, who has the same shortcomings as him but is beautiful everywhere. In fact, he has never been a loser, he knows it himself, and he wants those he loves to know too.


Success does not require the evaluation of others, but the recognition of yourself. Just pray that you can meet a partner who understands you better than yourself. When the world ignores you, that person will look directly at your soul through the outside that binds you, cherish and care for you, so that you will no longer be lonely.
