Hi Warriors... I thought it would be interesting and fun to compile these quotes.

"When you're scared, when you're hanging on, when life is hurting you, then you're going to see what you're really made of." - Sylvester Stallone

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

"A lot of people give up just before they're about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one." - Chuck Norris

"I am not training to be strong or handsome - just better than I was yesterday. These days the race is just against myself" - Jean Claude Van Damme

"Your body's made to run, to walk, to trek long distances and carry things, work in a forest and hunt animals. You have to keep it alive to function." - Dolph Lundgren

"I have no fear of death. More important, I don't fear life" - Steven Seagal

      HAHA! I don't think they are known for their motivational skills. But as individuals they must be pretty motivated to have gotten where they are.

  • Your thread, Arun, reminds me of how Gary Halbert often told us of the power of being supported by celebrities in our work. There is a great deal of draw and power using these widely known entertainment personalities connected with almost anything they are involved with.

    There's a reason for this attraction too. An incredibly huge number of people "feel" they really know this guy or that girl because those people have been cast in larger than life entertainment roles. We feel we can really identify with their persons as well as the brands they become / portrait.

    So a thread like this one, thank you very much, is a welcome relief, like an island in an ocean or a platter full of bacon at breakfast and will attract a lot of attention to it both in views and replies. Nice!

    Keep up the fun work,

    LLS

    In Rocky 6, Rocky says to his son "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....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!"

    shoot the whole scene outside rocky's restaurant is great when he goes off on his son for being a loser. it's on youtube by karateka73, check it out.

    Love me some Arnie and this is from the big man himself.

    "What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know."
