His father is very strict with him, almost to the point of being harsh. If he is not careful, he will be scolded and abused. Father often yells at him, "Why can't you be smarter?" ?

/kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, he came to Philadelphia to live with his mother and stepfather. His academic performance is a mess, and he is regarded as a model to lead other students astray. As soon as I change to 12 different schools, I am often expelled from the school for no reason after a short stay.
After a hard childhood and adolescence, he gradually grew up and showed great talent in sports. He wants to be a football player or a football star, but no sports institute is willing to admit him.

Although he didn't believe in fate and didn't want to give up, he was rejected by the University of Miami by three points.
Later, he came to new york. Mother, who is obsessed with astrology, asserted that he would become a star, but not an actor, but a writer. So he listened to his mother's advice, temporarily gave up his dream of becoming an actor and concentrated on studying script writing. He thinks people always turn me down at auditions-because my eyelids droop and my voice is too low. Since I can't change my external image, I always have the ability to modify and polish my script!

At that time, many producers were very optimistic about the script, but all the producers refused because he insisted on playing the leading role. Unwilling, he visited more than 500 American film companies with the script. Finally, after being rejected 1850 times, a film company was moved by his sincerity and agreed to his request. The film was completed in a month at a very low cost, but no one expected that it would become a' dark horse' in the history of Hollywood movies.

In Stallone's own words, "I have to do something to win a little self-esteem and confidence for myself."
Stallone's inspirational story 2:
Once, Stallone fell madly in love with movies and fitness after watching a movie starring Mr. World Steve Reeves.
So he began to work as a coolie, cleaning the lion cage in the animal farm and taking it in the theater.
After working for five years, his vision has broadened, and he is determined to become a movie star. Although he knew that he stuttered, was uneducated and was not particularly beautiful, once he had an idea and determination, he began to act. He found a catalogue of Hollywood film companies and began to recommend himself one by one.
"How can you be a movie actor like this?" "Forget it, we don't want you." "Go away, this is not where you dream!" ..... sarcasm, sarcasm, ridicule, contempt. Everything, rejected him one by one.
The more so, the more Stallone felt: "I must become a movie star in the lottery house."
He kept telling himself that "the past is not equal to the future" and "I didn't fail, I just stopped succeeding temporarily." He got up the courage to re-sell himself, but the result was still the same, and 500 film companies rejected him.
"You are dead." "Don't come again, you are not welcome in our company." 1000 rejection didn't stop Stallone from realizing his dream and determination to become a movie star.
With the lesson that 1000 actions were all rejected, Stallone wrote a script called "Rocky" based on his actual experience and re-entered the film company.
"Why are you here again?"
"This time is different. I brought the script. " If someone turns it over, give it back to him immediately. Others not only didn't read it, but even blew it out. Anyway, no one promised him. Fortunately, he didn't lose heart or stop acting. He still told himself: "The past is not equal to the future." "I didn't fail, because I was acting, and I just temporarily stopped succeeding."
What an inspiring language! Many things happen. By the time 1600 times, someone was finally willing to pay for his script. At this time, he only had 40 yuan's cash on him, and he needed money very much. But when he heard that the film company didn't agree to his starring role, he was anxious: "No! No! " He refused others for the first time.
Until the1855th time, Stallone finally got his wish.
He starred in the movie Loki, which made him a superstar.
Stallone's salary broke the new record of lottery house, reaching $25 million.
Stallone's later fitness coach commented on him like this: "Everything he did was 100% input".
Stallone's inspirational story 3:
His father is a gambler and his mother is an alcoholic. Father lost the bet and beat his wife to beat him; Mother took it out on him when she was drunk. He grew up in domestic violence, with fists and fists, and his eyes were often black and bruised all over. Therefore, his face is not good-looking, and his study is not good. After dropping out of high school, he became a hooligan in the street. Until he was 20 years old, an accident stimulated him and made him awake and reflect:
"No, you can't do that. If this goes on, won't it be just like your parents? Being a social garbage, the scum of mankind, bringing it to others and leaving it to myself is pain-no, I must succeed! "
He is determined to take a completely different road from his parents and lead a personal life, but what should he do? He pondered for a long time. Politics may be almost zero; To develop in large enterprises, academic qualifications and diplomas are insurmountable mountains at present; Doing business, there is no capital ... He thought of being an actor-being an actor doesn't need past fame, diploma or capital, but once it is successful, it can achieve both fame and fortune. But he obviously does not have the speculative conditions to be an actor, so it is difficult to make people confident in his appearance. He has no professional training, no experience and no sign of "talent". But the driving force of "be sure to succeed" made him think that this was the only chance in his life and the last possibility of success. Never give up, be sure to succeed!
So, he came to Hollywood, looking for stars, directors and producers ... looking for anyone who might make him an actor, begging everywhere: "Give me a chance, I want to be an actor, and I will succeed!" "
Obviously, he was rejected again and again. But he was not discouraged. He knew there must be a reason for failure. Every time you are rejected, you should seriously reflect, review and learn. I must succeed, I must be infatuated, I must find someone else ... Unfortunately, two years passed quickly and my money ran out, so I worked in Hollywood and did some heavy odd jobs. In the past two years, he has suffered more than 1000 rejections.
He cried secretly and burst into tears. Is there really no hope? Can the sons of gamblers and alcoholics only be gamblers and alcoholics? No, I must succeed! He thought, since it can't be successful directly, can it be changed? He came up with a circuitous idea: write the script first, and then ask to be an actor after the script is seen by the director. Fortunately, he is no longer a layman when he first came here. For more than two years, every rejection is a word of mouth, a study and a progress. So he already has the basic knowledge of writing movies.
A year later, when the script was written, he took it and visited all the directors. "How about this script? Let me be a hero! " The general reaction is that the script is ok, but making him the leading actor is a big joke. He was rejected again.
He kept saying to himself, "I must succeed, maybe next time, next time, next time ..."
One day after he was rejected 1300 times, a director who was rejected for more than 20 times said to him, "I don't know if you can play well, but your spirit touched me." I can give you a chance, but I want to change your script into a TV series. At the same time, just shoot an episode first, let you be the protagonist and see the effect. If it doesn't work, you can cut off the idea from now on. ! "
He has been preparing for this moment for more than three years, and finally he can try his hand. The opportunity is hard-won, and he dare not slack off and devote himself wholeheartedly.
The first episode of the TV series set the highest viewing record in the United States at that time-he succeeded!
Now, this man is the top movie star in the world. He is the Stallone we are familiar with.
Dr. Columbus, Stallone's fitness coach, commented on him like this: "Stallone put 100% effort into everything he did. His will, perseverance and endurance are amazing. He is a doer. He never sits still, but takes the initiative to make things happen. "
If Stallone just "wanted" to succeed, if he dreamed of becoming an after-dinner star, he wouldn't be here today. Because in that case, he won't pay or work hard.
