LMAO at this one...

Tell "The ROck" that I easily outwork him on a daily basis. I teach English to adults in Korea. I've taught kids in China. I was a soldier in the Army for 11 years and had to fight like hell IN REAL LIFE in IRQ and AFG.

...and to date, I have NOTHING to show for it. My ex stole my life savings of over $250,000 and filed for divorce while I was in combat. She wasn't even with me during most of the time I had earned that money. I was involved in a hit-and-run motorcycle accident here in the Philippines, and the cops never bothered to look for the person responsible, so I had to pay for surgeries out of pocket and lost my motorcycle to an unscrupulous insurance company.

Yeah, I've had a lot of bad times and I'm still plugging away in the remote hope that I can provide SOMETHING for my kids every month, so NO, Rock, you do not work harder. You just got lucky.

Making bad decisions and working hard are 2 separate things

You're an idiot for assuming that I made bad decisions. I did not.

I didn't cause my ex to do what she did and I damn sure didn't cause the accident that tore my shoulder up.

You chose to sign up but complain chose the wife that left you chose to ride i know a sob story when i see one and at the same time claiming to work harder than the rock he might have gotten lucky but that doesnt mean he didn't work hard i just think he had better role model's than us his dad and grandfather already made it so there i can see you saying he had more opportunities but you can't say you work harder than someone you've never worked beside

I love it! You just never know about what people bring and what keeps them motivated. I think that would be a great interview question..."what keeps you motivated?"

Only an egomaniacal bootlicker would say they work harder than ANYONE else. Now for a divorced entertainer to say it, that truly is stunning and brave.

Good article and yes!, I will be my own change in 2022.

Hey this is Wild Willy here in Coconut Grove Miami. I don’t workout but would love to try it. After everything I’ve been through I could work out and then relax with tequila.. 😂

🔥 “It’s you vs. you.” That line hit me like a freight train. We glamorize greatness, but The Rock reminds us it’s the grind that makes the man. Not the glory. Not the genetics. Just 4 a.m. alarms, brutal reps, and the choice to show up when no one’s watching.

I needed this reminder today. Thanks, Marc. And thanks, Rock. Time to outwork my excuses. 💪
