It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward

Something inspiring to share from the movie Rocky Balboa which I find meaningful.

Rocky said to his son:

"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 stop 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 is 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 how hard you hit; IT's ABOUT HOW HARD YOU CAN GET HIT, AND KEEP MOVING FORWARD... HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE, AND KEEPING 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 you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are 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, you ain't gonna HAVE A LIFE."

Sometimes, it is good that we hear some inspiring speech from someone and remember to face life CONFIDENTLY and take own initiatives to improve by yourself instead of self-pity yourself and blame people or situations for what happen to you.
