Dawn always breaks after the darkest hour. What kept me going forward was that I knew that no matter how bad, every problem will not last forever. There were times when I felt that life was unfair and too painful to live. There were many times in my life when I did get hit hard and felt that I had problems I could never solve. Instead, they quit dreaming and accepted a mediocre life. However, I know of many friends who got hit hard by life and could never find the courage to get up again. What made me more successful at the end of the day was my ability to get hit again and again and to keep moving forward. I have found that in my life, I have met so many people who were much smarter, talented and luckier than me. ” Its not how hard you hit, but how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward.” This movie had a huge impact on me just like the first few Rocky movies did because what was said was so true in my own life.

This is where the 60-year old Rocky gives his son a heart-to-heart reprimand about how he needs to stop blaming and take charge of his life. His friends make fun of him because of who his father is. His career is going nowhere and he blames his father for casting a big shadow over him. His son (a corporate executive in his 30s) is totally against the idea. Naturally, he is criticized and made fun of because he is fighting opponents half his age. He feels the need to fight because of emotional issues that he needs to resolve within himself. One day, Rocky decides to come out of retirement and to get back into the ring. In this latest movie, Rocky is aged 60+ and retired from boxing.
