由第一集《洛奇》(Rocky)至近期上映的《王者之後:重拳復仇》(Creed II),Rocky陪伴觀眾走過43個年頭,早已逾越大銀幕上的虛構形象,更似現實中一位英雄人物。Rocky除了帶來熱血又感人的故事外,仲有一連串發人深省的金句,當遇上失意時,或是對未來感到迷茫,以下十大金句,尤其是Rocky對兒子的一番肺腑之言,或許可以讓你有些啟發。
"Let me tell you something you already know. 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. 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 「讓我告訴你一些你已經知道的事,這個世界並不是只有陽光與彩虹,這是一個很刻薄又險惡的地方,無論你有幾堅強,它會打倒你,而你不理會的話將會永不翻身。你、我或任何人都不如生命的力量強大,但不在乎你擊出的力量有多強,重要的是你能承受多大力量、能收穫多少,然後堅持繼續走下去。勝利就是如此達成!現在如果你知道自己值得什麼,就去爭取你值得的東西。但你要準備好承受打擊,不要指著別人說因為誰或誰而不能成功!懦夫才會這樣做,你不會!你可以做得更好!我會永遠愛你,無論如何,無論發生什麼事,你是我的兒子,是我的血脈,你是我生命中最美好的東西,除非你開始相信自己,否則你不會得到自我。」 "Going in one more round when you don’t think you can. That’s what makes all the difference in your life." 當你覺得自己不行,再嘗試多一次,這會改變你的生命。 "Every champion was once a contender who refused to give up." "It’s your right to listen to your gut, it ain’t nobody’s right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!" 聽從自己的決心是你的權利,沒有人有權去阻撓你去實現理想的權利。 "Remember, the mind is your best muscle. Big arms can move rocks, but big words can move mountains." 記住,你的頭腦是你的最佳肌肉,強壯的手臂可以移開石頭,但偉大的說話可以移開高山。 "If this is something you wanna do, and if this is something you gotta do, then you do it. Fighters fight." 如果是你想做的事、如果是你非要做的事,那就去做,戰士就是要戰鬥。 "I believe there’s an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts." 我相信心入面有股力量成就勝者或敗方,而勝利者是用心傾聽內心說話的一方。 "I am not the richest, smartest or most talented person in the world, but i succeed because i keep going, and going, and going!" 我不是世上最富有、最聰明或最有才華的人,但我能夠成功是因為我勇往直前。 "Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure." "You can’t learn anything when you’re talking. That’s a fact of life. As long as you’re talking, you’re not listening." 當你說話時,你學習不到任何東西,這是生命的事實,只要你在說話,你就不會聆聽。
