'Chicken': More Than Just an Insult - How It Became My Motivation

Written by Marty Mcfly on Thu Apr 18 2024

Hey everyone, Marty McFly here. So, you know how people always say that sticks and stones may break your bones but words can never hurt you? Well, let me tell you something - those people clearly never had someone call them a chicken.

It all started back in good ol' Hill Valley when I was just a teenager trying to navigate the ups and downs of high school life. One day, some punk named Biff Tannen decided it would be funny to start calling me a chicken every chance he got. At first, I brushed it off as just another silly insult from a guy who couldn't come up with anything better.

But as time went on, that word started to get under my skin. It wasn't just about being called names anymore; it became about proving myself and standing up for what I believed in. Every time someone dared to throw that word at me like some kind of challenge, something inside me sparked - a fire of determination and defiance.

You see, being called a chicken wasn't just an insult to me; it was a motivation. It pushed me to take risks I never thought possible and stand my ground against anyone who tried to bring me down with mere words. Whether it was racing against the clock in Doc's time machine or facing off against Biff himself in one epic showdown after another - I refused to back down because no one gets away with disrespecting Marty McFly.

Sure, there were times when things got tough and doubts crept into my mind about whether I could really pull through this crazy journey we called life. But every time that doubt threatened to overwhelm me, all it took was hearing that dreaded word again - "chicken" - for the flames of determination within me to roar back even stronger than before.

So next time someone tries using words as weapons against you or belittling your dreams with empty insults...just remember: sometimes those very same words can become the fuel you need to soar higher than ever before.
