One hell of a story, thanks for the link. The way Stallone tells it and describes some of the moments is so touching. I love the guy. It's also amazing to see how, regardless of your effort or dedication (which are important nevertheless), luck plays such a central part in many of the great things we achieve in life.

Watch the 4 clips, you'll enjoy it.

I suppose this is a trivial comment, but that quote you just used runs in exact opposition to the point you just made. Just sayin'.
