The power of determination



Sylvester stallone is a well known actor. He acted in the movie called Rocky. Before he got his fame and money, Sly was in a totally different situation.


Sly always wanted to be an actor but since his face is paralysed on the left side everyone discouraged him including his mother. But sly never gave up. He was married and had 2 kids, but he was so keen to follow his dreams he never took a job. His wife got sick of this and told him come looking for her after he's got a job. As the days past, Sly was loosing lots of money.


Thus, he sold his only 'friend' left with him: his dog. After selling it, he used that money to write his own story and posted it to various directors. Although most directors rejected his work, 1 director came up to his doorstep and told him that he would pay 500,000 for his script. Sly said that he wouldn't mind giving the script for free if the director allowed him to act in it. The director thought Sly was crazy. After seeing Sly's determination, the director gave Sly 1 million in cash and asked Sly to direct his own movie.


And Sylvester did direct his movie and the movie was a major hit, the movie's name is Rocky.
