One of my favorite characters of all time is Rocky Balboa. I remember seeing Rocky III in the movie theaters as a 10-year-old and then renting the first two films on our brand new VHS (which cost $750 and the owner of the video rental store gave us free lifetime membership since we bought the RCA video cassette recorder from them. I like all the Rocky films, even Rocky V. However, I joke that Rocky Balboa (the sixth film) was made by Sylvester Stallone as reparations for Rocky V. In the movie, Rocky has a great discussion with his son, Robert where he says: “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.”
