Although we know that Robert "Rocky" Balboa, Sr. is just a character made by Sylvester Stallone, I really like him for being a boxer that is tough and kindhearted one, especially that he thinks about his wife (Adrian) and his son. I always hope that I could be like him someday but I am scared of pursuing a boxing career because I am scared of punches and less privacy due to popularity.
What about you? Who is your idol in life?

I was strongly influenced by the character in this movie. I like him for the grit and determination. I have no intention of becoming a boxer though. I just like the inspiration.

i idolise Marilyn Monroe. She was fearless and stood up for what she wanted from life.

Nobody really impresses me enough to be an idol. That's because there are people I admired and then I found out about their real life. So depressing! Anyway … I kind of liked Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye. They just seemed like genuinely really nice guys. They're real people though. Not fictional characters.

I admire the late football coaches Vince T Lombardi Senior who used to coach the Green Bay Packers and Washington Redskins during the 1960s since he is known for his quote "Winning is not everything but the only thing." And former Chicago Bears head coach George S Halas who is known for his quote "Nobody who ever gave his best ever regretted it." Too bad the powers that be at W G Ventures who are working on a show called Wordgirl Advance have ever given me my just due trying to give them words of encouragement despite my bad relationship with them. Rocky Balboa has to be one of the good guys if Fox News and ESPN lampoon him.
