Alright? The President, in this case, is Rocky Balboa, and Apollo Creed is everything else in the world. I believe it is just a lull before a comeback. Look, folks, my point is that I don't believe this is a low point in this presidency. There's still some liquid in that glass is my point, but I wouldn't drink it. Sir, pay no attention to the people who say the glass is half empty, because 32% means it's 2/3 empty. 32% means the glass - important to set up your jokes properly, sir. President, please, please, pay no attention to the people that say the glass is half full. We know that polls are just a collection of statistics that reflect what people are thinking in "reality." And reality has a well-known liberal bias. But guys like us, we don't pay attention to the polls. Now, I know there are some polls out there saying that this man has a 32% approval rating. Most of all, I believe in this president. Ladies and gentlemen, I believe it's yogurt. I believe there are infinite paths to accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior. It was magical! And though I am a committed Christian, I believe that everyone has the right to their own religion, be you Hindu, Jewish or Muslim. I saw this guy do it once in Cirque du Soleil. I believe in pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps. And by these standards, we have set up a fabulous government in Iraq. I believe the government that governs best is the government that governs least. Your great country makes our Happy Meals possible. As a matter of fact, Ambassador Zhou Wenzhong, welcome. At least until China figures out a way to stamp it out of plastic for three cents a unit. I believe democracy is our greatest export. I feel that it extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and I strongly believe it has 50 states, and I cannot wait to see how the Washington Post spins that one tomorrow. I hold a simple set of beliefs that I live by. I call it the "No Fact Zone." FOX News, I hold a copyright on that term. Every night on my show, The Colbert Report, I speak straight from the gut, okay? I give people the truth, unfiltered by rational argument. My gut tells me that's how our nervous system works. Now, I know some of you are going to say, "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. Right, sir? That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Guys like us, we're not some brainiacs on the nerd patrol. President, my name is Stephen Colbert, and tonight it is my privilege to celebrate this president, ‘cause we're not so different, he and I. But until you start believing in yourself, you ain’t gonna have a life.Mark Smith, ladies and gentlemen of the press corps, Madame First Lady, Mr. I’m always gonna love you no matter what. Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that. And not pointin’ fingers sayin’ you ain’t where you want to be because of him or her or anybody. Now, if you know what you’re worth, go out and get what you’re worth – but you gotta be willing to take the hits. How much you can take, and keep movin’ forward. But it ain’t about how hard you hit, it’s about how hard you get hit and keep movin’ forward. You, me, or nobody hits is gonna hit as hard as life. 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. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. Let me tell you something you already know. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you’re no good. But somewhere along the line, you changed. Then the time come for you to be your own man, and take on the world, and you did. This kid’s gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew.”Īnd you grew up good and wonderful and it was great just watching you every day was a privilege. I’d hold you up to say to your mother, “This kid’s gonna be the best kid in the world. You ain’t gonna believe this – but you used to fit right here. Script of Rocky’s entire speech to his son The area looks the same today as it did in 2005 during the filming of Rocky Balboa. Sylvester Stallone and Milo Ventimiglia stood just steps away from the entrance to Adrian’s Restaurant for this motivational scene.

Or all the nights I had to struggle to survive Polo G, Mozzy, Eminem (Official Audio) Lyrics (.LRC) As the man says: "It ain't about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much can you take and keep moving forward.Skylar Grey - Last One Standing ft. What's different is the advanced years of Rocky and of course Stallone himself - but he looks good, the film looks good, and you'll feel good at the final bell. On this sixth outing, the narrative arc is just the same as first time round - again a complete no-chancer facing a world champion after a gruelling training routine involving the same frozen meat, the same one-armed press-ups, and of course the same race up the Museum of Art steps - and the same music. It seems that Rock is so missing his wife Adrian that, in spite of running a successful restaurant named after her, he finds that he has something "luking in the basement". That really should have been it - but, as the tagline for "Rocky Balboa" puts it, "It ain't over till it's over" so, 16 year after the last film and an amazing 30 years after the original movie, he's back. Another five years passed before Stallone felt that he had to return to the iconic role - in "Rocky V", he adopts a young fighter who turns on him. By the time of "Rocky IV" (1985), the franchise had acquired an international dimension as the Cold War is acted out in the ring with Rocky squaring up to the Russian Ivan Drago. In 1982, "Rocky III" sees our hero lose to Mt T before Apollo helps him bounce back. In "Rocky II" (1979), after 15 brutal rounds, he defeats Creed and takes the title. It all started way back in 1976 when Sylvester Stallone - who wrote the script and took the leading role - created the character of the Philadelphia low-grade boxer who managed, against all the odds, to go the distance with world heavyweight champion Aollo Creed and give the world a new kind of underdog to support. But until you start believing in yourself, ya ain't gonna have a life. 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. That's how winning is done! Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. How much you can take and keep moving forward. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. 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. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. Let me tell you something you already know. And when things got hard, you started looking for something to blame, like a big shadow. You let people stick a finger in your face and tell you you're no good. But somewhere along the line, you changed. Then the time come for you to be your own man and take on the world, and you did. It was great just watching you, every day was like a privilige. This kid's gonna be somebody better than anybody I ever knew." And you grew up good and wonderful. Rocky Balboa: I'd hold you up to say to your mother, "this kid's gonna be the best kid in the world. Rocky Balboa: You ain't gonna believe this, but you used to fit right here. The crowd was never told to stand up or to chant - they had done it completely on their own, and according to the filmmakers, by far the biggest cheer of the night was for Rocky, not for any of the real fighters. Stallone was hoping that the crowd wouldn't boo or cause any problems, but as he made his way to the ring (as Rocky), the whole building gave him a standing ovation and began to chant 'ROCKY, ROCKY'. As such, the press conference scene was shot only moments after the real press conference with Hopkins and Taylor, whilst the scene when Rocky walks through the curtain and down to the ring was shot using the real Hopkins/Taylor crowd. Stallone suggested that the film could piggyback the real event, using the real HBO format, the real crowd, even the real press conference setup. Sylvester Stallone knew that HBO had an upcoming PPV event with Bernard Hopkins taking on Jermaine Taylor in the main event, at the Mandalay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. During preproduction, as the filmmakers tried to find a good location to shoot the fight, they met with constant obstacles - every suitable arena was booked out.

#ROCKY BALBOA SPEECH SUBTITLES MANUAL#

Use conventional and unconventional methods to solve problems.Breakdown problems systematically and address them layer by layer, to hit at the source of your mentee’s challenges.If your mentee struggles to take great strides, use baby steps to overcome the most difficult challenges.Customize learning experiences, based on your mentee’s evolving needs as they progress.Do not underestimate your abilities and their impacts on others.Here are the key takeaways, one can walk away with from this experience: Aaron continued to make great strides and advised me that he could speak confidently to his colleagues at work at a major telecommunications company. My goal was to test his ability to deliver prepared speeches as well as his ability to improvise. None of this is textbook, but thought to myself, the best test is to put Aaron through a variety of situations, where he must engage people differently. I had also planned for him to reach people with different English accents to call him to test his listening skills and his ability to respond from the feedback I receive from the caller.įor further learning, my recommendation to Aaron was to set up a test panel interview with my industry acquaintances to put Aaron through the wringer. Each week as I detected improvements, I kept asking him what he struggles with and, as a boxing coach, get him to hit that punching bag with new methods and techniques. My volunteer work with Aaron was not over, and I spent a few more months to put him through my boot camp program to deliver the knock out punch. Here was a man who was willing to do anything within his means to face his most difficult challenges despite the odds. Working with Aaron for almost a month, I could see dramatic improvements in his speech delivery, and he kind of grew on me. Perhaps, I made a difference in people’s lives in the past but was too humble to take credit for what I had done. An amazing thing happened at this moment, he said I was his “guru.” For decades, I have always been a humble individual and was deeply moved that, for the first time in my life, I had made such a significant difference in one’s life. When a coach teaches a boxer a technique, and it delivers the knock out punch, I cannot tell you how gratifying it was for me to hear this change in his speech delivery. I guess this sounds ludicrous, but thought to myself, it’s working! Excited by this development, I asked Aaron to read a multitude of sentences, and when he assumed an “angry” persona, he was confident in his delivery. For some strange reason, when he did this, his confidence levels shot through the roof, and his sentence clarity improves by 75%. My suggestion to him at this point was to ask him to repeat the sentences back to me a second time, except on this occasion, I asked him to imagine that he was angry and distraught at me. After reading these sentences, I could detect improvements however, his confidence was still an issue. At this point, I found a couple of test sentences off the internet and requested Aaron recite them to me.

Toastmasters International has a method and a manual for this purpose but decided that I would intentionally avoid the ‘cookie-cutter’ approach and challenge the status quo.Įven after all of this, something was not clicking, and I was on the last straw. While I was excited about his enthusiasm, I had a moment of hesitation fearing the unknown, if I could help him. Due to this fact, I was willing to do anything to change his circumstances. I had to hand it to Aaron, that he was tough as a nail. I was not sure how he would take it, so I spent a few minutes speaking about my work experience and why I would be his ‘go-to’ man for all things public speaking. (To respect his privacy lets call him Aaron) I called Aaron, cut to the chase, and did the unthinkable, I offered to be his mentor to help him build his confidence and public speaking skills. After seeing him struggle for a few weeks, I could not bear to see him melt like a stick of butter on stage and decided to contact this man. On top of this, English was his second language, and as a result, enunciation was an uphill task for him. It was at this club that I noticed a young man who would attend week after week, struggling to build his confidence in public speaking. Last year, I returned to my greatest love, public speaking at a local Toastmasters club here in Vancouver, Canada.
