Ancient Knightly Wisdom (True Quote, no matter the source)
Thorsteinn:
Because not giving up is also knightly.
Imagine if you were blind.
Imagine if you were blind.
Complete darkness, no colors, no views, no beauty.
Just pitch black.
If you were blind, ask yourself how badly would you want to see?
If pushing yourself to your limits would give you sight, would you do it?
If there was a cure, would you let anything stand in your way?
Would you risk the haters and the critics to see you sweat?
Do you really want to see?
Would you really care if they mocked you? Laughed at you? Pointed at you? Or bad mouthed you?
Would you be concerned about your extreme goal, or embrace extreme work?
What if you had to learn hurt, trust pain and embrace struggle?
Would you still be concerned with being realistic?
Would you still figure your odds and calculate your chances?
If you had to spend more time planning your workouts and less time planning your weekends, would it even be a tough choice?
If the cure for blindness was humility and pain, would you go for it?
If the cure for blindness was looking foolish would you risk it?
If seeing again took a fight, would you start swinging?
If the cure was doing things you can't do, would you attempt them?
If a few extra hours, a few more drops of sweat, and a little bit more blood is all it took, would you claim your sight?
Do you really want to succeed?
Then choose to be blind and do what it takes to see.
Because if you don't, then you're just blind anyway.

Sir Edward:
Gosh, it's been quite a while since I watched any of the Rocky movies. When I did watch them again a few years ago (the first time probably since the '80s), I had a completely different mindset than before. When I was young, I didn't really get the fighter mentality.
I mean, as a kid seeing the first film, it was like "What? He didn't win? What's this 'going the distance' thing?" It made sense on a much deeper level, seeing it again as an adult.
I know these clips are from the more recent film, though. :)
Sir James A:
--- Quote ---As we walk down the road of our destiny
And the time comes to choose which it gonna be
The wide and crooked, or the straight and narrow
We got one voice to give and one life to live
Stand up for something or lie down in your game
Listen to the song that we sing
It's up to you to make it be
I guess I'll see you, when you see me
--- End quote ---
