Philadelphia, a very nice city=)

Philadelphia, an old former capital of the United States of America is a very nice city. Many movies have been produced in this city. Like the Rocky movies, of course Philadelphia and many many more.

I have a quotation from the last Rocky movie, that I really like. None of my favourite movies but this was good... =)

Rocky Balboa
Speaking to his son about life in Rocky Balboa (2006)

Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!

To be able to say something like that after all the hits, is amazing... =)

 

 

The american flag

BETSY ROSS The americans say that Betsy Ross sewed the first american flag in this house in Philadelphia. Few things are so important for the americans than to love, honour and to treat the flag with respect.
