  • 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!

    • @vampycaltm5273
      @vampycaltm5273 Год назад

      The Oscars definitely hate this speech, it's basically telling people that it's no-one else's fault but their own for where they are in life and that doesn't fit Hollywood's agenda of 'The Message' or diversity politics.
      They can't relate to meritocracy and good old fashioned toughness/masculinity.

      "Heroism is endurance,
      For just a moment more"?
      Ever know who said it?
      It was a guy named George F. Kennan.
      Who's that?
      I dunno, it doesn't matter to me, it's straight facts, and facts don't give two shits who states them, because real is real.
      Inspiration can come from anywhere and yeah, it kinda sucks that we don't always get it from thise we expect it from, but if you do get it, are you gonna turn it down just because it came from someone you didn't expect it from?

    "You must be willing to take a hit."
    That part always hits the hardest, because it's the truth. We're all scared of putting ourselves out there. We're scared of the world, of the people, the negativity. But it's necessary to beat that fear, because that's what's really keeping you down. Be willing to take risks, take punches, learn from your mistakes if you fail. The more hits you take, the less they will hurt. Everything you've ever wanted is on the other side of your fear.

      If they'll bring me problems instead of happiness and peace your not alone I'm totally there with you.

I listened to the last line “don’t forget to visit your mother” I called my mom and told her I needed her and I was driving over right then.

Each opponent he faced was a boss level up and he found the strength within himself every time to win. That became a metaphor for a life lesson he now passes onto his son.
