Trying hard for a short time is better than trying hard all along.

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2019)

If the Rocky/Creed franchise has taught me anything, it's that trying hard for a short time trumps trying hard all along.
Rocky III
Clubber Lang: tries hard all along
Match 1: Rocky doesn't try as hard and loses
Match 2: Rocky tries hard and wins
Rocky IV
Ivan Drago: tries hard all along
Match 1: Apollo Creed doesn't try as hard and loses (dies)
Match 2: Rocky, learning from Creed's mistake, tries hard and wins
Creed II
Viktor Drago: tries hard all along
Match 1: Adonis Creed doesn't try as hard and loses (nearly dies)
Match 2: Adonis Creed tries hard and wins
I've an exam coming up in early January (currently end of July). I'll just chill for the next 4 months then stage a studying montage in December, thereby beating the nerds who study every day. It's what Rocky would have wanted.
