    here's another great story from sylvester stallone...

    stallone was born in poverty. in fact, his mother gave birth to him on the steps of a school.
    he spoke with a slurred speech all his life.
    yet his dream was to be an actor.
    obviously, no one wanted to hire him. but the man had hustle. everyday,he sat in front of the director until he was given a bit part in a movie. after that, no one wanted to hire him again.
    one day, he became so poor, he sold his dog for $50. that was heartbreaking for him. he then wrote a movie script that nobody wanted. finally, after many rejections, one production house said they want to buy the script for $75000 on one condition:someone else would play the main role.
    stallone rejected their offer because he wanted to play the main role. the production house raised the price to $225000-for as long as stallone would agree that someone else would play the main role. he rejected him again. Finally, they offered him an offer he couldn't refuse:$1 million. but he rejected that too.
    so the offered $35000 for the script - with him in the starring role. He accepted!
    and as they say, the rest is history: that movie was Rocky and it grossed $171 million. it also won 10 academy awards including best actor and best picture of the year. that one movie began his meteoric rise to stardom.(by the way, when he became rich he bought back his dog.)
