The Rocky-son Speech
Rocky: I'd hold you up to say to your mother, "this kid's gonna be the
best kid in the world. This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I
ever knew." And you grew up good and wonderful. It was great just
watching you, every day was like a privilige. 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. And 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. It's a very mean and nasty place and I don't 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 ya hit. It's about how hard you can
get it 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 ya 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! I'm 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, ya ain't
gonna have a life. Don't forget to visit your mother.
