Go Down Fighting

Sometimes the best way to deliver a punch is to step back…
- Eddie Scrap-Iron Dupris (Morgan Freeman) in Million Dollar Baby
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 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 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 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!
- Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) in Rocky Balboa
This is why I love good films. Not only are they visual feast and entertainment, they’re also inspirational and motivational in their script-writing and story-telling. Anyways, don’t ask me why but these quotes are both from boxing movies, heh. Ok so where’s my punching bag?
