The SADDEST stories ever told in Hollywood

His name is Sylvestar Stallone. One of the BIGGEST and Most famous American Movie superstars. Back in the day,Stallone was a struggling actor in every definition. 
 At some point,he got so broke that he stole his wife's jewellery and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. 

Yes,he slept at the New York bus station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any stranger. He didnt have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying.

Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and that match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie,ROCKY. 

He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. 

But he had just ONE REQUEST. He wanted to STAR in the movie. 

He wanted to be the MAIN ACTOR. Rocky himself. 

But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR. They said he "Looked funny and talked funny". 

He left with his script. Afew weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. 

They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be IN THAT MOVIE. 

After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture,Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious Oscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! 

The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever! 

And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes,Stallone LOVED HIS DOG SO MUCH that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold his dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. The man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same,same dog he sold at $25 only! And he finally got his dog back! 

And today,the same Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog JUST BECAUSE he couldnt even feed it anymore,is one of the GREATEST Movie Stars who ever walked the Earth! 

Being broke is BAD. Really BAD. Have You ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But You are too broke to implement it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Damn! I've been there too many times! Life is tough. 

Opportunities will pass you by,just because you are a NOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a tough world. If you aint already famous,or rich or "connected",You will find it rough. Doors will be shut on You. 

People will steal your glory and crash your hopes.You will push and push. And yet NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. And then your hopes will be crashed.You will be broke. Damn broke. You will do odd jobs for survival. You will be unable to feed yourself. And Yes,you may end up sleeping in the streets. It happens. Yes,it does. BUT NEVER LET THEM CRUSH THAT DREAM. 

Whatever happens to You,Keep Dreaming. Even when they crush your hopes,Keep Dreaming. Even when they turn you away,Keep Dreaming. Even when they shut you down,Keep Dreaming. 

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF! People will judge You by HOW you look. And by WHAT You have. But please,Fight on! Fight for Your place in history. Fight for your glory. 

NEVER EVER GIVE UP! Even if it means selling all your clothes and sleeping with the dogs,ITS OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE,Your STORY IS NOT OVER. TRUST ME. 

Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive. Go get it.

Jin Ketagih Bersetubuh Dengan Isteri

Panggilan yang diterima lewat malam itu benar-benar memberi kesan. Sepanjang malam saya tidak dapat melelapkan mata kerana asyik memikirkan potongan ayat lelaki tersebut. “Isteri saya enak disetubuhi jin, sedangkan saya keseorangan di sofa ruang tamu dengan hanya ditemani nyamuk-nyamuk yang menggila seolah-olah mengejek-ejek diri saya," ungkap pemanggil tersebut. Teruja untuk mengetahui dengan lebih lanjut, saya telah mengaturkan satu pertemuan dengan pemanggil tersebut. Ridzwan, 31, (bukan nama sebenar) telah berjaya mengubah dimensi saya tentang kewujudan alam lain di muka bumi ini. Melihat secara luaran, perwatakan Ridzwan sama seperti lelaki-lelaki lain malah dia kelihatan kemas dan segak, sesuai dengan profesionnya sebagai seorang pengurus di sebuah syarikat terkemuka. Nyata telahan saya tersasar kerana menyangka Ridzwan seorang lelaki yang tidak terurus ekoran masalah yang sedang dialaminya itu. “Tujuan saya berkongsi pengalaman ini bukanlah mahu membuka aib

Swinger Malaysia

Terkejut berok aku bila seorang kawan aku memaklumkan aku bahawa dia telah diajak oleh seorang pompuan berstatus isteri orang untuk ajak bertukar-tukar pasangan. Maknanya dia sedia “main” dengan kawan aku tu dengan syarat kawan aku pun sedia kasi isterinya main dengan suami pompuan tersebut. Atau dalam bahasa omputeh “swinging”. Yang buat aku mengucap panjang bila kawan aku cerita bahawa perempuan yang offer tu seorang Melayu beragama Islam dan tinggal di Johor. Katanya kalau kawan aku sudi, dia dialu-alukan untuk datang ke JB. Semua sudah disediakan termasuk “port” yang tiada gangguan. Kawan aku kata pompuan tu hanya sudi bertukar pasangan dengan pasangan suami isteri lain, tidak pasangan tidak berkahwin sama ada pasangan kekasih atau skandal. Sebab itu akan tidak adil bagi mereka. Aku tanyalah macam mana dia kenal pompuan tu? Katanya, dia berkenalan menerusi laman sosial popular. Hemm, aku kata tak aku percaya dengan laman sosial sebab sesiapa sahaja boleh menyamar. Tapi

GEMPAR!!! PAKSI BUMI SEDANG BERALIH ARAH!!

PAKSI BUMI SEDANG BERALIH ARAH. Kutub Bumi berganjak 1 batu sehari !!  Pada tahun 2007, Medan kutub utara berganjak dari Kanada Utara kearah Siberia di Russia pada kadar 35 batu setahun. Ini bermakna arah kompas berganjak 35 batu menghampiri Russia dalam tahun tersebut. Anjakan kutub bumi ini mengakibatkan jajaran kompas dan arah utara sebenar semakin ketara perbezaannya. Hingga menjadikan arah panduan beberapa landasan kapal terbang tidak lagi terpakai. Ia semakin memberi kesan terhadap kegiatan manusia hinggakan lapangan terbang antarabangsa Tampa di Florida terpaksa mengubahsuai tanda arah di landasan dengan kedudukan yang baru. Lapangan terbang tersebut terpaksa ditutup selama sebulan bagi kerja-kerja pengubahsuaian.  Pergerakan kutub utara ke arah Siberia berlaku kerana cepatnya perubahan magnet pada kerak bumi. Perubahan terkini adalah paling dramatik. Ia bergerak semakin pantas. Kutub bergerak ke timur laut 9 batu setahun pada tahun 1904. Kelajuannya kira-kira 35 bat
