Even if you can't succeed on the day you die, at least you have to die on the road to success

In the study of success, persistence has always been an indispensable word. Persistence is an easy word to say but very, very hard to do.

Some people give up because they are tired of doing it and lose their enthusiasm; some people give up because other things are more attractive and cannot resist the
temptation;
, so gave up.
What will happen if you keep at it? Then you will be Rocky.

"Rocky" in 1976 was a huge success, winning Best Picture, Best Editing and Best Director awards, and it also made Stallone famous and established his screen image as an American hero.

Although it is said to be the most classic boxing movie in film history, in fact, "Rocky" is not as hot as many boxing movies now, and the sense of attack is not very good. In fact, there are many attacks that can be seen not hit at all... Our "" The fight in Guild Wars is even better.

Would that make it the most classic boxing movie ever? Yes, because the essence of "Rocky" is not how intense the fighting scenes are, but the script's portrayal of small characters, the embodiment of the tenacious and unyielding spirit, and of course the soundtrack is also very classic.

The blind date show "If You Are the One" actually used the classic soundtrack of "Rocky"... Although I don't know why people in the show team thought of using the soundtrack of such a movie...

Interestingly, the fighting scenes are very good-looking boxing movies , most of them stay at the level of popcorn movies. The fact that "Rocky" won the Oscar is a win from the script to the film. The previously recommended "Million Dollar Baby" seems to have learned the essence of "Rocky", so it also won the Oscar for best picture.


"Rocky" is a true story

because the character of Rocky is too classic, and many people also doubt whether there is really such a person in history. The answer is yes. The script for "Rocky" was written by Stallone himself, and he was inspired by watching a boxing match. One side of the game is the famous boxing champion Ali, and the other side is Rocky's prototype Chuck Weiner.

Chuck Weiner is an unknown boxer, and years of perseverance finally gave him a chance to fight with the boxing champion Ali. I thought the boxing champion would win easily, but this little-known young man made the world boxing champion suffer... Stallone just because of Chuck Weiner's tenacious performance, a light bulb appeared on his head, and he finished writing " Rocky's script.

So Rocky's big BOSS setting in the movie is also the world boxing champion - Apollo Creed. But Rocky's setting in the movie is more like Stallone's own innuendo.

Stallone was already 30 years old when "Rocky" was filmed, and before that, Stallone was just a little actor who ran the show, that is, a little guy like Rocky who was selected by the boxing champion before thousands of lists.

Rocky's struggle in life is also Stallone's struggle in life. Born in a slum, he would never expect anything from himself, so the Rocky in the first half was not someone who swayed and gave up everything for his dreams. The gym coach looked down on Rocky very much because of his progress.

But Rocky is still insisting on boxing that he likes, just like Stallone insists on running tricks and constantly auditioning for the crew. He had auditioned for "The Godfather" but never got a response.


Opportunities persisted

because Rocky was not motivated, and the first half of the movie was also very unmotivated, and it was more about portraying the character of Rocky. A large section has even become a handbook for picking up girls - how to pick up a buddy's sister in one night?

Rocky sets the perfect example.

Although he helped usury to collect money and pick up girls, he never gave up boxing. He was just living at the bottom of the society.

This also seems to be enough for many people, because of the force of life, they gave up what they originally liked to do. In fact, we can stick to our hobbies like Rocky, but many people think that it is difficult and give up without even trying.

Yet 99% of human mistakes come from taking things for granted. When Rocky chose to continue to play boxing, he also appeared in the list of unknown boxers and got the opportunity to show himself.

Just like Stallone took his own script and demanded that he must act in it before selling it. Originally, he could easily sell it for a good price. After being rejected for an unknown number of times, someone finally agreed to let him be the protagonist, so there is today's Stallone.

If you don't stick to what you want, you'll miss out on later opportunities. If you persevere, in the long years, there will inevitably be an opportunity that belongs to you. Opportunities don't come by chance, they come through persistence.


In fact, you don't have to be successful

. Don't take it for granted that you can't do it, and don't draw conclusions about things you haven't tried. But even if you know you can't do it, do you still do it?

Many people set their goals for success and victory, but when you know that you can't do it at all, so you give up and choose 20 shots?

Rocky has also struggled, and he also understands that his amateur boxer is not on the same level as the boxing champion at all.

But those who looked down on him gave him encouragement instead, and he wanted to prove to those who looked down on him that he was not a waste. People do not have to be successful, but they must have dignity.

Maybe success doesn’t necessarily mean victory, you don’t necessarily have to win, but you must persevere, keep your original true heart, go all out, and act. Even if you die, you won’t be able to reach the goal of success, but At least die on the road to success and earn respect.


Everyone can be Rocky

. "Rocky" has encouraged a lot of people. He has to fight against extremely powerful opponents. This gap is like the gap between many ordinary people and success.

Because the gap is too obvious, many people actually want to be a movie star, a singer, or a well-known writer. Many times it can only be a dream. In the face of the huge gap, they don't even dare to think about it. Just like Rocky and Stallone, who came from humble beginnings, wanted to become professional boxers and movie stars, but in the face of the huge gap, they chose to stick to their dreams, even if others laughed and looked down on them.

Because of our focus on goals, we often forget what to do. When Rocky faced an invincible opponent, he didn't think about defeating the opponent, but how he could persevere. So he insisted on running every morning, training every day, playing lobs, sandbags, and raw meat. Stallone is the same, constantly writing scripts, playing tricks, and auditioning.

Their success in the movie and in real life is actually just accumulated through these simple methods, and they use their own persistence to exchange for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. However, with these simple methods, many people just think about their own gaps, stop doing it, and give up, admitting that they are waste materials, so those people are also waste materials.

But when you find Liang Jingru, let her give you courage, don't care about success or not, as long as you practice every day and stick to it, then you are Rocky.

Please remember, don't feel that the gap with your ideal is too big,
so you give up and
insist on doing what you like.
One day, you will get the chance to be selected.
Even if you can't get it, at least you can die on the road of success. It's
better than dying in the quagmire of failure. no self esteem

    In the thirteenth round, I was completely beaten by reality. In the vaguely I heard those noisy ridicules and prejudices shouting "losers", I swallowed the blood in my mouth, and chose to stand until the last moment, my success or failure How can you let those people go to trial?

    To meet Stallone for the first time. Really handsome ah cute drooping eyes. The broad shoulder muscles are also charming until the last few minutes. When I saw him shouting "Adrian——" at the end, he also announced that the champion was Apollo and not him. When it was rendered by the climax, I burst into tears. Five stars for no reason. I love all male movies that are not war movies
