Let me tell you something you already know. The world is 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 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 hits! And not pointing fingers saying that you're not where you want to be because of him or her or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that! 

-Rocky Balboa
