Hardcore Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Gotta love the Rocky franchise, easily some of the best motivational material for training and for life. Thanks for sharing the clips "No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." 1 Corinthians 9:27 Link to comment
Lefeux Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 From ArtofManliness.com (Unsung Manly Movie Quotes for Every Occasion) http://artofmanliness.com/2012/02/24/unsung-manly-movie-quotes-for-every-occasion/From Rocky Balboa movie (#6?)Rocky Balboa: I’d hold you up to say to your mother, “this kid’s gonna be the best kid in the world. This kid’s gonna be somebody better than anybody I 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 along 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 started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. Let me tell you something 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 it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get it 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’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that! I’m always gonna love you no matter what. No matter what happens. You’re my son and you’re my blood. You’re the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain’t gonna have a life. Don’t forget to visit your mother.

BopGun Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Glad to see this on here, ETF...Rocky Balboa was by far my favorite of the Rockey sequels. Loved that damned movie, and I loved the tiny exchange between Rocky and Antonio Tarver's character late in their fight...Dixon: "You're one crazy old man."Balboa: "You'll get there."After just going to my first physical therapy appointment today, I needed something like that. Thanks! Link to comment
