You know what I mean? But the thing is, you gotta learn how to control it. See, fear keeps you sharp, it keeps you awake, you know, it makes you want to survive. You know, but it ain’t nothing to be ashamed of. “You see, fear is a fighter’s best friend. I s this good advice? Rock dishing out the truth bombs, Christ. This is a great, but occasionally depressing, dose of wisdom. I call this place journalism, and I live in it. As of now, I’m overweight, seasonally depressed, and I’m dreaming of sleep as I write. We’ve all lived in a place where we begin adopting the languages, styles and customs of that locale. “Ya know, they always say if you live in one place long enough, you are that place.” -Rocky to Paulie Pennino before a training session for the media. Is this good advice? It’s not really advice, but it’s an accurate statement. But nine times out of 10, Balboa was a moron. “You gotta be a moron to be a fighter.” -Rocky Balboa speaking to Adrian about why he chooses to box, Rocky (1976) Is this good advice? This is barely English. We can ignore that Rocky was in fact a coconut in this conversation, so we could guess that a coconut would recognize the contagiousness of coconuts. It’s got early Balboa-isms sprinkled all over the joint with the yo-yo’s and coconuts, but it checks out. I guess what I’m trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change! ” -Rocky Balboa to Russian opponent Ivan Drago after his win, Rocky IV (1985)
In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that’s better than twenty million. “During this fight, I’ve seen a lot of changing, in the way you feel about me and in the way I feel about you. Is this good advice? Sure beats ‘love thy neighbour’ Not a single person has time for a leechy sibling like Paulie who considers himself as being owned shit from a come up. Gets straight to the point without the long old-man rant. You owe yourself.” -Rocky Balboa to Paul ‘Paulie’ Pennino, Rocky III (1982)
Is this good advice? Sometimes your gut is a real dick. You have a right to listen to your gut, but you also have a right to be wrong. When someone puts a pause on your glow-up, maybe, just maybe…just maybe, it’s for your own damn good. Nobody on the commision board wants to call Rocky an old geezer here, which props this wisdom bomb far higher than it deserves to be.

“It’s your right to listen to your gut, it ain’t nobody’s right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!” -an older Rocky Balboa during a verbal fight for his boxing license in Rocky Balboa (2006) Is this good advice? ‘Try a little harder,’ when your physical well-being is not being threatened, is good dad advice. Just forget the towel or your fundamental limits, and keep going until that permanent brain damage kicks in. We all get where Balboa is coming from with this 80s bedtime cheese, but the wisdom is bad and everyone knows it.

Yeah, the thing is, if you are a professional fighter and you go an extra round, you might die. “ Going in one more round when you don’t think you can – that’s what makes all the difference in your life.” -Rocky to his nine-year-old son Rocky Balboa, Jr. Yeah, but a watch can’t cure debilitating depression.

“Do you like having a good time? Then you need-a-good-watch!” -Rocky Balboa in a TV advertisement, Rocky II (1979) Is this good advice? I guess it’s like ‘be yourself.’ Which is fine. don’t think like you think, if other people think the way you think, because if you think the way they think, you’ll stop thinking in the right way to think, because they thinken thick, think thuck…tank…hello, my name is Rocky Balboa, and I don’t think because I’m very concussed. You gotta think like you think.” -Rocky Balboa to his son, Rocky Balboa (2006) “I stopped thinking the way other people think a long time ago.
