Dear Readers,
WELCOME! What you are about to read will change your life.
In conjunction with last installment of the Rocky Series (Rocky Balboa), I am proud the announce the launch of TheRealRockyChallenge.com blog, which celebrates the stories of Ordinary Heroes – people of all walks of life from around the world, who went the distance to achieve their wildest dreams.
It doesn’t matter if you win or lose. By reaching out for a goal that is higher than your grasp, your life would have changed forever, and you will inspire others to do the same.
So starting from March 2007, I am embarking on an online campaign called The Real Rocky Challenge to find and document inspiring real life Rocky stories from around the world - from the cold winters of Siberia to the hazy forest of Indonesia; from the desert of Sahara to the Great Wall of China, from the Streets of Philadelphia, to the magnificent Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
WILL YOU BE THE NEXT ROCKY?
We are looking for inspiring stories of everyday heroes who have achieved extraordinary feats and would like to share their stories of hope, courage, passion and determination with others.
WE WANT YOU TO JOIN US IN THIS SEARCH!
If you have a Real Rocky story to share from your own experience or if you know someone who has touched your life, whether it is a close friend, an unsung hero or famous personality, please SHARE your inspiring stories here, and you will be contributing to others!
Let this be the celebration of the indomitable spirit of man, to give the world a sense of hope and unity, so everyone can be encouraged by it.
The next Rocky is you, and we want to cheer for YOU, the Real Rockys in life.
Will you go the distance by telling all your friends about TheRealRockyChallenge.com?
In this blog you have a taste of a real rocky at work as I share with you my insights and experiences, as I take on the challenge of a lifetime.
Send us your Real Rocky story today. We welcome you as you are, and NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! As Rocky once said: “If I can change, then you can change. Everybody can change!”
Here is a powerful quote by Sylvester Stallone which explains the motivation behind his film characters::“I want to give the audience positive symbols, heroines and heroes who pull themselves out of the depth of despair. As they struggle and claw and finally attain their goals, viewers can realise. “My God, I can do that,” or, ”That’s the kind of person I want to be.” – Sylvester Stallone
YOU CAN BE THE NEXT ROCKY!
I look forward to hear your Real Rocky stories, and may the world be a better place because you shared!
Rocky Lives,
Gerald Chuah
