A Little Motivation…
I’m not normally one to use movie quotes as a way to improve attitude, but I felt that this was a good one. In fact, you can get brownie points if you can name the movie that this came from. Here’s the quote to think about for today:
Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and 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 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 hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain’t you. You’re better than that!
Life hits, and its true that when it hits it tends to hit pretty hard. But if you’re going to make your business succeed, you’ve got to be willing to take those hits and then get back up and keep going. You’re better than that!
Keep that in mind the next time you feel like you can’t do it. Others have done it, so why not you? Maybe you have circumstances; everyone does. Maybe you have other things going on; everyone does. It’s a matter of deciding what you want to have happen and working for it. Maybe it will take you a little bit longer, but you can get there.
This applies to everything in life. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, build a business, or whatever. You have to stick with it.

Hi Dan,
Another great article!
100% true about the need to keep going even when you feel like you can’t do it.
I’ve found this to be true in business building especially. It can be so easy to feel like you can’t succeed, but if you can keep in mind that others have done it, and so can you if you sincerely dedicate yourself to making it work.
Your article is extremely motivating!

that was a slobberknocker of a dialogue.
[Reply]
Yo Adrian!!! we did it
[Reply]
I recognized Rockey too. I’m a big fan and watched this movie over 18 times all series
[Reply]
I don’t know from where the dialogue is taken but I love it
[Reply]
That’s a solid outlook on life. And I have no problem admitting the recent Rocky was actually a good watch. And I’m glad they went with that ending. Watching the special features, the other ending isn’t as powerful, in my opinion.
[Reply]
i love rockie too
[Reply]
I dont know from which movie it is but it is really motivating.I think not matter they are from movies you should still write these kind of quotes to motivate people.

The toughest thing to overcome in life is the status quo. As one of our nations most accomplished people once said “Never leave that till to-morrow which you can do to-day.”

Keep doing what you;re doing, cool blog.

I loved the quote, though I don’t think it’s from Rocky. I have seen Rocky 1 to 5 and its not in any of those, unless its from the most recent Rocky (Rocky 6)
[Reply]
A very great article. Well done. Very motivating!! Go on that way
[Reply]
That’s from Rocky. Of course I didn’t need to say that, it appears that everyone else has already submitted. that answer.
[Reply]
Great quote! Life really is about how much you can take and it most certainly is never all sunshine & rainbows. Very true & inspirational — thanks for sharing! : ]
[Reply]
That’s a great quote, it’s the first time I’ve actually seen it written like that since the film, but very inspiring to read, cheers!
[Reply]
yeah, the world indeed ain’t all sunshine and rainbows, but we can make it happens if we believe we can make it happens
[Reply]
I agree that “the world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it”.
Man should fight for something that he wants to have.
[Reply]
I have to say it is a great quote. The world of internet marketing can certainly beat you down especially in the beginning when you are trying to build links and traffic!

Nice dialogs. Thanks for sharing. Willing to hear some more beautiful dialogs like that.

Rocky rocks! There are little things like this that makes you realize that there are insight in even the most banal things - like a Rocky movie!
[Reply]
Its a great quotes “the world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows.”
I thought “Where there is a wheel,there is a way”.
[Reply]
I like the quote - puts things in persective, but gives you hope and motivation
[Reply]
I am a big fan of persistance. It wins in the end.
And hey, nice ‘dialogs’ you got here! Amazing articles too.

Very inspiring quotes… What’s the name of the movie?
[Reply]
Great post! I did really love some movie quotes. But I never jot them down. I should have to jot them down start from today. So I feel that, I’m not the only one who thinks like that too.
[Reply]
Motivational indeed. Great quotes by the way. Hope everyone could learn from it. Try to really understand the true meaning and you could learn from it.
[Reply]
Enjoyed your article, when you let yourself get beat down just get up and hit again and again and again.
[Reply]
nice quote you have here but i can’t seem recognize from which movie it is…”nobody can hit as hard as life” i like this line…it teach not giving up life no matter how difficult it is…nice one you have here
[Reply]
For me, I found that reading quotes (especially from Zig Ziglar) really motivates me.
Quotes are life lessons compressed in 1-2 sentences. We can learn a lot by reading & studying quotes.
In case of movie, I really enjoy the lessons in “Bedazzled”. Yes Liz Hurley is so gorgeous in this movie but the lesson is that we always think that other people’s life are better than us.
But the truth is, if we take time to know ourselves and our strength, we will find out that we are much better and luckier than most people in this planet.
[Reply]
I always get the feeling “i can’t do it” when it comes to ranking well in Google..lol. Things has gotten better lately but it requires so much motivation and patience. And unfortunately, those are the two things i’m lacking.
[Reply]
really inspirational and motivational. Great article. I realy like it. Thanks and keep the good work going. Cheers
[Reply]
I always find that movies could teach us something about life. Nice quotes. Inspirational.
[Reply]
What a great quote! This came right at the perfect time for me. It reminds me of that one song. I can’t think of the name right now, but it goes like this, “I get knocked down, and I get up again, You’re never gonna keep me down . .”

[Reply]
Its really an useful article. Motivation is a force that keeps you going.
[Reply]
Great quote. I believe life is not easy, specially if one’s goal or purpose is higher and higher. But think about this way, when you achieve the goal, how good one can feel and will motivate to hit or courage to take the next hit. To me, I set a short term goal and long term goal to keep up my life. Never lose a HOPE.
[Reply]
Thanks for these optimistic advices. They can really help in difficult situations.
[Reply]
ya it should be fantastic !
[Reply]
taking action is the way forward to getting things done and the best form of motivation. For every setback get off your but and deliver something good to make up for it.
It is hard, but it is what is in our brains that stops us have the life we want.
[Reply]
That’s a great quote, I have no idea what movie it’s from. Success doesn’t come easy, it comes at a price which is blood and sweat.
[Reply]
It is good to read this article since you sometimes feel like you want to give up at times. Then you read something like this and it gets your motivation going again.
[Reply]
thanx That’s a solid outlook on life. And I have no problem admitting the recent Rocky was actually a good watch. And I’m glad they went with that ending. Watching the special features, the other ending isn’t as powerful, in my opinion.

Truer words have not been spoken. We often tend to look at success as something someone else was given. While a few are born into wealth and success, the other 99.8% have to work for it and it ain’t always easy. You are going to get knocked down, the question is are you going to get up!
[Reply]
The first Rocky movie was great, thereafter ???? Good advice to live by though!
[Reply]
One of the best things to do for any kind of objective is goals. Some of these goals may be small insignficant goals, while others may be milestones. Anyone can sit down with a dream, but it is admirable to see someone with a dream capture it.

Motivation that comes from within really makes the difference it makes then to do something
[Reply]
That is a wonderful quote. I agree with the above comment that motivation really needs to come from within. You can have those around you support you and try to get you motivated, but if you are not motivated yourself, then there is no way that you will meet your expectations. I find that finding the motivation is the hardest thing to do in life. We all want things to come to us in life, not a whole lot of people are truly willing to go out and get it themselves!
[Reply]
Great post…I love Rocky.
[Reply]
It is goof that you share also motivation quote, i also read promos comment “Never leave that till to-morrow which you can do to-day.” now i completing this quote myself “Never leave that till to-morrow which you can do to-day, if you like this you can do it again tomorrow also.”
[Reply]
Being motivated and not giving up is demonstrated by many young people who have talent and work hard to reach their dreams.
I was impressed by those on “So You Think You Can Dance.” Now followed by the Olympics. The ones who survive the competition just to make it to the finals are so dedicated that they let nothing stand between them and their dreams. And they blame no one else but themselves if they fall short.
Those of us in business need to have such tenacity. We have to keep working, keep marketing, and not give up.
Success comes to those who believe in themselves in spite of circumstances. Instead being discouraged, winners set out to change their circumstances.
[Reply]
Thanks for the motivational post.It was just what I needed.
[Reply]
Wow! It is really great motivation that helps us to reach our goal. Thanks for your post.
[Reply]
I totally agree with Linda. It is tough to persevere with what you believe despite negativity comments from others (i.e. my family) who don’t understand or are too sacred to attempt something different. You have to believe 100% in yourself to achieve what you set out to achieve.
[Reply]
Right!We shoud never give up on our work especially when you are having a hard time .
[Reply]
That is a good quote. Always stick with it. Good things come to those who are diligent enough to wait.
[Reply]
a very motivational video! thanks for sharing !

Rocky was only one of the few shows where the sequels are actually better than the first. The other one was Godfather.

motivation is needed to make our life better time to time…
[Reply]
Those are informing. It’s true that everyone can meet a hard time. But I believe that there is no bad things but only bad mood, Adjusting our attitude is very important.
[Reply]
It’s good to get beat down a little every now and then. You learn from it, and you’re a lot wiser for the next round. Great quote!
