It ain't over 'til it's over

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.
