We need to embrace a positive and proactive attitude to succeed and the passion to be a significant person. And we need a strong willpower to overcome our weakness. Once we have set a goal, we become more confident. With self-confidence, we are adaptable to change and capable of achieving success.
Once a upon a time in America, a young man had no money to buy a new pair of suit. But he has a dream to be a famous actor. To achieve his goal, he organise a plan and list down names of people in 500 film companies, according to importance, and brought a script that he had written for them to consider. After visiting 500 companies, none had accepted him. However, he was not disappointed. He regained his self-confidence and made a second visit to promote himself. Again, all the companies rejected him. The man persisted and made a third visit, but failed. He set his heart to continue with his fourth attempt. Eventually, the owner of the 350th company agreed to read his script. A few days later, the film company agreed to invest in a film based on his script and employed the man to act as the leading role. The film was "Rocky" and the man was Sylvester Stallone. In the international film industry, "Rocky" and Sylvester Stallone have since then become popular around the world.
