So, recently, I have been followed the Rocky Balboa series. I must admit I wasn't a fan of Sylvester Stallone but Rocky character is inspirational from the beginning until the end of this franchise. A fearless boxer, heavyweight champion, a boxer who prioritises wife and friends, and a retiree who is never bowed to life and fate where he uses his fists to bring inspiring life to himself and people around him.  We are all born to create our values in life, and potentially bring values to other's lives.

The country I live in is unique with diversities and cultures. We have high tolerance for embracing races, lifestyle, and customs. I have always loved it here for the food, the people, and the languages.
