"What is it you said to the kid? The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very rough, mean place... and no matter how tough you think you are, it'll always bring you to your knees and keep you there, permanently... if you let it. You or nobody ain't never gonna hit as hard as life. But it 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. If you know what you're worth, go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit." - from the movie "Rocky Balboa"
i dont think this quote is very hard to interpret. life is hard. im sure we all know this. but i see too many people letting life get to them. letting life bring them down to their knees. i wish i could see these people fight back. why let life keep you on your knees? you think it will give you mercy? life is relentless and no matter which way you turn it will come at you from all angles. whether you want to suck it up and fight back is up to you. if you want to stay on your knees and beg, by all means go ahead. but just remember, everyone goes through this. life hits everyone. always expect that hit. the hits that you dont expect will hurt the most. stay on your toes and expect the unexpected because life will be the most difficult opponent you will ever have to face. although it is about how hard you can fight back, its also how hard you can take these hits. you can give up, stay on the ground, and never get back up. what i ask is to get up. no matter how many times you get hit. dont be a coward and face life head on. dont lie down and let it run all over you. never stop moving. never stop fighting. never let life bring you to its mercy. Its your life, it is meant for you to take, so take it.
