#1: Eye of the tiger: the way of the tiger

[rocco]

Ciao everybody!
As a huge III fan I always asked myself if the eye of the tiger "mantra" of the third Rocky installment could actually be translated in everyday's life, regardless the fact we're sportsmen or not.
Well, as a matter of fact I can proudly tell it can.
Point is no matter which aspect of your life you are focusing on, if you don't stay hungry your butt will be sent to the canvas sooner or later.
We might talk about business career, working out, weight loss: the day you think "I made it" is the day you start to fall.
I'm not saying one can't enjoy the results he got, I am only saying that they are destined to fade away if you don't keep the fire alive, that's it.
As a matter of fact I am so convinced of what above that I would like to knwo if somebody disagrees and why!

Thanks!

Hmm... well I don't disagree there... The Rocky movies are full of good advice for your everyday life.

I dont think you'll get any disagreements on this one, rocco. Tis true. It just so happened that Rocky had lost his hunger due to fear regarding fighting, but this can happen in any area of your or in any job / career.

Sometimes you have to ignite the passion again and get the hunger back. When ANYONE hears that song - and I defy anyone to say this isnt the case - its a feel good song which give you energy and motivation. I feel like I can do anything after blasting it.

Its definately a metaphor for life.
