I read this years ago and thought it was a cool inspiring story - just read it again and still think so.

Inspiring early years of Sylvester Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and Most famous American Movie superstars. Back in the day,Stallone was a
struggling actor in every definition. At some point,he got so broke that he stole his wife's jewellery and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. Yes,he slept at the New York bus station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any stranger. He didn't have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying.

Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie,ROCKY.

He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR in
the movie. He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR.

They said he "Looked funny and talked funny". He left with his script. A few weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be IN THAT MOVIE.

After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture,Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious Oscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever!

And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes, Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold is dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100.
The man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same, same dog he sold at $25 only!

And he finally got his dog back!

JIM MORRIS - 78 YEAR OLD BODY BUILDER -

In 1984 Jim Morris owned a gym in West Hollywood - I was a member and Jim who at the time was in his late 40's inspired me to live a healthier lifestyle. Jim is now 78 and easily one of the MOST INSPIRING real world examples of how to stay both physically and mentally healthy as you age. He is remarkable as this short doc on him shows.This vegan bodybuilding pensioner is hoping to change your diet for the better.

From the Mirror News:
Jim Morris, who is now 78 and PETA's most senior model, says his health improved markedly once he retired from competition and went first vegetarian and then vegan.

His new ad campaign encourages people to "muscle your way to better health. Go vegan."  He claims that such a dietary change can "prevent obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes and strokes."

Morris was into all the unhealthy foods that many people guzzle every day but feels like a new man with his dietary change. "The protein in animal products is so laden with fats and chemicals and all sorts of stuff that's harmful to you," he told PETA.

"When I was competing and stuffing down all of that sort of stuff, I had lots of digestive problems.

"I was constipated and bloated and just miserable all the time ... I know as a fact I would not be here and I would not be in this condition now had I continued eating the way I was."

After seeing such remarkable results Morris is encouraging others to follow his lead.

"Milk is for babies", he adds.

"I think a lot of people don't realise if they would stop drinking milk and [consuming] all of the milk products, they would say, 'Wow, I didn't realise I could feel this good'."
