The above tag line shouldn't come as surprise for Hollywood buffs, for the moment they read it,Rocky Balboa should manifest front of them. Sylvester Stallone has immortalized the machoist character Rocky Balboa to the entire world. The movie was inspired by Muhammad Ali- Chuck Wepner heavy weight boxing fight held in 1975. The 6 part movie revolves around the heavy weight boxing champion Rocky Balboa, whose challenged by different contenders during different phases of his life.
The movie apart from highlighting boxing has shed light on various aspect of human personality which is essential for survival. I enjoyed seeing the entire series in one go, just to not let go continuity and appreciate the nuances of story line in the movie. The spirit of 'never give up' despite enduring pain flows as the bottom line of the movie. Rigorous training and hard work are essential for any successful career, but when it applies to physical training, its so easy to quit, after all when body endures pain mind hesitates to accompany. Pain is a human quality that everyone tries to avoid, but not realizing its importance that without pain one cannot enjoy pleasure.
Pain has its own relevance in human life, it moves one's heart seeing other in pain.
It provokes your grey cells, for rarely do you bother when people are happy around you, but when they are in pain{sad} do you feel like knowing about them, thus get people closer. But Pain can do more magic than just hurt us around, the more you face pain, the more you can handle them later. Pain can widen our circle of exhaustions. Pain might wear your muscles and strengthens your mind. Enduring pain toughens the will power of man, after all the building subjected to harshest test survives along the annals of history.
Sports and Games are one place where man is ready to accept pain gleefully, after all its while playing man enjoys despite being pain, exercising his ability to his limits and beyond. Sportsman speaks of mental toughness that lead them to glory, the stepping stone to this glory is pain and pain alone. Pain that teaches not to quit when going get tough, but to become more tough. After all ITS NOT OVER TILL ITS ALL OVER.

Recipe for Disaster.
Imagine fertile land all around you is not used to feed the growing population of the world, rather for filling up the tanks of the motors driven around us. Biofuels can no way supplement the growing demand of automation and aviation industry for replaceable fuel, rather will stress the increasing demand for food for increasing population in the world.
Biofuels firstly need appropriate definition for itself, It's a fuel made from living part or waste they produce. The list include wood, straw, animal excreta, ethanol made from processing plant material. But of late, its derived mostly from crops like sugarcane and corn. Ethanol is used along with petrol as fuel in most of the advanced hybrid vehicle. The advantage of using biofuels is it will reduce greenhouse gas emission, and in turn reduce the catastrophe of global warming.This advantage has been highlighted extensively for increasing the production of biofuels around the world. In fact countries like Brazil, US have doubled there ethanol production in last 4-5 years. European Union also have set target that vehicle running should have around 5% of fuel coming from biological sources. Setting targets like this will put more pressure on government to put aside more land for devoting it for cultivation of biofuels, rather for food grains. The picture looks so clear from the fact that the moment the land for cultivating biofuels is diverted to fuel your vehicles, instantly there is more pressure to feed the growing population of the world. There are already civil unrest that has occurred in several developing nations such as Mexico over food versus fuel conflict.
Society seems to have disregarded the fact that there is population explosion, and half the population in most of the developing and underdeveloped nations still sleeps with empty stomach every night. The priority needs to be set right, is is to fuel the rich people vehicle in developed nations, or feed the malnourished people of the world. And as far as use of biofuels as greener technology for the future, the simple solution lies in reducing energy consumption, rather than trying to meet the increasing energy demands of growing population.
