Let me tell you something that you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But 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!
(By Rocky Balboa)Ļauj es tev pateikšu kaut ko, ko tu jau zini. Pasaule nav visa saulē un varavīksnēs. Tā ir ļoti zemiska un riebīga vieta ... Un man vienalga, cik stiprs tu esi, tas sakaus tevi līdz tu stāvēsi uz ceļgaliem un tur paliksi uz visu dzīvi , ja Tu tam ļausies. Tu,es vai jebkurš cits, var sist tik pat stipri kā dzīve. Bet tas nav par to, cik stipri Tu sit... Tas ir par to cik stipru sitienu tu vari izturēt un turpināt iet taisni.Lūk tas nozīmē uzvarēt. Tagad Tu zini kādēļ tu esi vērts, ej un saņem to kādēļ tu esi vērts. Bet Tev jābūt ar mieru saņemt sitienus.Bet nevis rādot ar pirkstiem un teikt:"Tu neesi tas, kas tu vēlies būt, jo viņš, viņa vai kāds cits ir vainīgs. Tā dara tikai gļēvuļi, un tas neesi tu! Tu esi, kas labāks!"
(Pēc Rocky Balboa)
