Rocky, somewhat of a Pesty? (thought by Kirk Weisler)

I think I’d like to be remembered as someone who beat the odds through just plain determination. … that I persevered. Because I think that being somewhat of a pest to life, constantly plaguing and pursuing, will bring results.  – Sylvester Stallone (1946-) American Actor

At an early age I fell in love with Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky character and followed all the Rocky films (some painfully).

But it wasn’t until I matured and a little that I learned more of the story about how the story of the making of the 1st Rocky movie was almost a shadow of the storyline of the film itself.  An underdog film about an underdog boxer born of the vision of an underdog actor.  Lovely stuff really… but the quote above coming from an older wiser Stallone looking back,  really invites us all to revisit our need and our willingness to be persistent, and even PESTY in pursuit of our goals and dreams.

When has being PESTY been necessary for your success ?

Thanks Rocky…you have inspired me again!
