E339: The story of how Sylvester Stallone made Rocky is a crazy underdog rags-to-riches story.
He slept in bus stations, lived in disgusting poverty, and, at one point, was forced to sell his dog to get money.
He wanted to make it as an actor despite a disfigured face and speech impediment, so he wrote Rocky and refused to sell it until he was given the lead, even when offered a lot of money.
Sylvester Stallone constantly had long-term thinking and didn't accept the short-term win that would sacrifice the long-term.
