“Not everyone who works hard is rewarded, however all those who succeed have worked hard!”

Ok, it’s not quite a movie; it’s anime, but it’s my favorite one. Hajime no Ippo or “The First Step,” is a story about ascending rank in the world of professional boxing. Like many works of fiction, the hero, Ippo in this case, is endowed with a unique gift. He is able to sustain an extraordinary amount of damage to punches before going down, certainly a useful attribute in boxing, but hardly the be-all and end-all. At the same time, he is constrained by a short arm reach, a handicap that he must compensate for throughout his pugilistic career.
