Rugster Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Christ Almighty This is one of the SADDEST stories ever told in Hollywood. His name is Sylvestar Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and Most famous American Movie superstars. Back in the day, Stallone was astruggling actor in every definition. At some point, he got so broke that he stole his wife's jewellery and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. Yes, he slept at the New York bus station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to anystranger. He didn't have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying. Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie,ROCKY. He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR inthe movie. He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR. They said he "Looked funny and talked funny". He left with his script. A few weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to beIN THAT MOVIE. After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture, Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigiousOscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever! And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes,Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he soldhis dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. Theman refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same,same dog he sold at $25 only! And hefinally got his dog back! And today,the same Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog JUST BECAUSE he couldn't even feed it anymore,is one of the GREATEST Movie Stars who ever walked the Earth! Being broke is BAD. Really BAD. Have You ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But You are too broke to implement it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Damn! I've been there too many times! Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by,just because you are aNOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a toughworld. If you ain't already famous, or rich or "connected", You will find it rough. Doors will be shut on You. People will steal your glory and crash your hopes. You will push and push. And yet NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. And then your hopes will be crashed. You will be broke. Damn broke. You will do odd jobs for survival. You will be unable to feed yourself. And Yes, you may end up sleeping in the streets.It happens. Yes, it does. BUT NEVER LET THEM CRUSH THAT DREAM. Whatever happens toYou, Keep Dreaming. Even when they crush your hopes, Keep Dreaming. Even when they turn you away, Keep Dreaming.Even when they shut you down, Keep Dreaming. NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF! People will judge You by HOW you look. And by WHAT You have.But please, Fight on! Fight for Your place in history. Fight for your glory. NEVER EVER GIVE UP! Even if it means selling all your clothes and sleeping with the dogs, ITS OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE, Your STORY IS NOT OVER. TRUST ME. Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive. Go great . Like and share if inspired. Lovely day people! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 The recent trend of sharing a photo of some lost ring/camera/phone/shoe "found recently at Glastonbury/Wimbledon/TinthePark/The Peak of Everest please share it, the person must be in so much pain and anguish so let's try to return it to their rightful owner". I had one today of a passport. The passport has the persons details on it so surely you can just take it to a local police station? No, let's do the whole "look at what I found" routine instead. The fact that most of these items are found at the other side of the country makes it even worse. "Oh dear, someone found a guitar in Oslo, I live in Dundee so better share it just incase." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Oslo on the other side of the country from Dundee? Every day is a schoolday. I agree with your sentiment though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cardinal Richelieu Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Found passports don't get returned to the owner at police stations, they get sent to the passport offices, no idea why, but yeh I wouldn't want mine handed into a police office if it was lost, I'd rather it was sent to my house by post! Lost my passport in Prague and someone handed it in to the polis. They said they'd keep a hold of it if I came back the next morning to pick it up. Czech polis > Scottish polis 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Has anyone seen the video of the two teenage girls in Birmingham bullying each other? I found it highly arousing.I haven't seen the actual vid but apparently the bully has been hounded out of her home by an angry facebook mob, so that made me feel really chuffed to be part of the human race. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estragon Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Has anyone seen the video of the two teenage girls in Birmingham bullying each other? I found it highly arousing. Bullying eachother? Usually the dynamic of that situation runs to a more unilateral order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
