It's not about how hard you hit ...

[MJ DeMarco]

An all time favorite ... and while this speech might be cinematic, Sly Stallone really believes it and that philosophy helped him succeed.

It's not about how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit!

Just to put a bit more perspective on those words Stallone ("Rocky") said listen to this:

First time I saw that and it was excellent. Thanks a lot MJ!!! I needed it also. Been getting ready to roll on a Wordpress site following the 30 day challenge and I was hitting a wall of how big of a challenge writing all that content was going to be. This really helped.

Thanks

WoW! what two awesome motivators. I need to hear that today, not that it's a bad day, it's just one of them days. The one thing I love about Rocky is that by first look you'd think that he was proof that cavemen did exist, but when it came to rationale he has such a way of thinking things out on such simple planes of thought. Thank you MJ and Icy for posting those.

**This deserves a big bump. It's one of my favorite motivational speeches. I was about to post the same video here today for people to watch but decided to search for it first, and ....voila'!

Way to go MJ....Great minds think alike

Somehow I feel as if this is a stab at me.

Loved this, and had it on my list whenever I worked out. My favorite part was when he mentioned his son got lost along the way and yada yada. Inspiring for sure!

another favorite of mine

Another bump for one of my favorite motivational speeches. It's been on my mind lately.

No, it's about how hard you can get it and keep moving forward.

Plus, just cut all of the bullshit out in your life. Then you won't have anything but the non-bullshit. Therefore, it will be productive.

John G. Avildsen, director of ROCKY, died a few days ago at 81 yrs old. (June 16, 2017)

Sylvester Stallone told the Hollywood Reporter : “I owe just about everything to John Avildsen, his directing, his passion, his toughness and his heart — a great heart — is what made Rocky the film it became. He changed my life and I will be forever indebted to him. Nobody could have done it better than my friend John Avildsen. I will miss him."

Even Sly had someone who pushed him to be his best.

In his video above he is pushing someone else to be their best. There are times we all need to hear it.
