"You aint gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here in the palm of my hand. I'd hold you up and say to your mother 'This kids gonna be the best kid in the world. This kids gonna be somebody better than somebody ever knew.' And you grew up good and wonderful, it was great just watching you every day. It 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. 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. Its a very mean and nasty place, and I dont 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 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're worth, then go out and get what you're worth!! But you 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! Im 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. Don't forget to visit your mother." - Rocky Balboa
