One Big Idea Can Change Your Life — Rocky and Stallone
If you have the guts and brains to take one idea that you have and make it real… what can happen to you?
Here’s a quote from Sly Stallone about ROCKY — from an article in Ain’t It Cool News:
When asked to comment on the success and impact of the ROCKY films, Stallone said:
SS: Please don’t think I’m just saying this, but I am in total, constant awe. I’ll wake up in the morning, the fog is still outside, and I cannot believe this house, my life, my children, everything I have I owe to this humble character. I don’t know where it came from; it just came up one day. I was just writing about my insecurities, and I put them in the body of a boxer. I never knew. I was so depressed, my career was going down. And I said, “If I could just do one more thing, and end the ROCKY series with dignity.” ROCKY V, I blew it—big mistake. I take all blame for it. But I said, if I could just do that one thing. And it took seven years, and it was really tough to make a sequel to a failed film 18 years later playing a 60-year-old fighter. Talk about a tough sell, that’s a tough sell. But it wasn’t about playing it; it was about gracefully going on to the last portion of your life.
Can you imagine how life would be different if you just had one idea like Rocky?
