A Slap in the Face
"If you want something, you have to go take it" is a common theme in movies about sports. The Rocky movies use this as a theme (though I don't recall if it's explicitly stated) as well, but I think one of the trainers tells Rocky something along the lines of "Take it."
Fighting for what you want in life often is intertwined with granting mercy to your enemy, as John Kreese declared in "The Karate Kid" (1984). He declared "mercy is for the weak" in the first movie as he instructed his Cobra Kai students as a motivational statement. I wasn't the only fan of the first movie to be satisfied with those words haunting him during the first few minutes of its 1986 sequel:
So, given all of that, I am confronted.
"Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for."
WOW!
Talk about 7 words that fly in the face of what society taught me for the last 49 years, 4 months, 2 weeks, 1 day (18033 days)!
The "Thought for Today" continues with these words:

The "Thought for Today" continues with these words:
Never fight. Nothing is worth fighting for. Wisdom never fights, it waits patiently, speaks positively, releases easily, sees benefit in everything and envisions a future of abundance...knowing that all needs will be met at the right moment, in the right way.
If you think life is a struggle you will always be struggling, If you think life is a breeze, your attitudes and actions will convey lightness and easiness. And that's what attracts everything you need, and much more.
Make today a breeze not a battle.

Creepy Unbroken Eye Contact
The first time I heard that the Johnny character in "The Karate Kid" is the hero of "The Karate Kid" was on the show "How I Met Your Mother" in a clip like this one:
Now, just the other day, I found this video, which lays out the same case:
Editor's Note: The argument has been made that Barney's opinion of the Johnny character in "The Karate Kid" was the inspiration for the series "Cobra Kai" on Netflix. https://prhmusic.blogspot.com/search/label/Cobra%20Kai
