Back in the day, Stallone was a struggling actor in every definition. At
some point, he got so broke that he stole his wife’s jewelry 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 any stranger. He didn’t have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold
it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying.
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!
In his words: "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?
"Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by, just because you are a
NOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a tough world.
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 to You, 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 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, IT’S OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE, Your STORY IS NOT OVER.
Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive." Go get it !!! - Sylvester Stallone
