1.       Rocky describes the world as a very cruel and heartless place. Do you believe this? Do you believe that the world is generally bad or generally good? Explain yourself.

2.       Rocky says that cowards blame others on their failures. Do you believe that someone who blames others can be a leader or must they take the responsibility? Explain yourself.

3.       He states “if you know what your worth, then go get what your worth”. When he said that did you take it figuratively meaning that someone is only worth so much or did you take it metaphorically meaning that you are worth as much as you think you are? Why?

4.       For someone to be a leader must the person be able too “take the hits” as Rocky said? Why?

Questions:

As a leader why is asking for help important from time to time? What are some benefits and disadvantages that come with seeking out help from others?

Caroline was told to she was legally blind but she didn't allow that to stop her from living her life, why is self-motivation and belief in yourself a quality that one should posses?

Why is it important to understand no one is perfect? Why should a leader understand and recognize their own flaws? How can seeing this in yourself benefit you for the future? Is there a problem with admitting failure?

The eye specialist told Caroline "I think it's time to stop fighting and do something different", what might your something different be? What might you change about yourself or your life to better yourself or life?

1. Do you think that pain and failure has to be part of the process to become an effective leader? 

2. Do you believe that everyone has the potential to become a leader if they push themselves enough? Are there just some people who aren't meant to lead?

3. Do you think that it's fair to categorize "winners" and "losers" when choosing who to surround yourselves with in order to succeed? Will you need to change your entire life to become determined to follow your dream?

4. Have you ever had to pursue a task that nobody thought was possible for you to achieve?

5. Do you think "taking the first step" would be an easy thing to do? Would it be something that you think could be done over night or is it something
