If you post straight political propaganda right or left prepare to be commented on. If you promote an online life style opposite of your real life style in regards to politics, prepare to get commented on. I have some Liberal friends and some Conservatives friends and I love them all. But when you pretend to be one thing but act a completely different way I'm posting on your a**.
High School is over we don't have to pick which group to sit and eat lunch with. We have whats effective and not effective. So here are some tips from me to everyone. If you are broke, I am not taking your advice about the economy, politics, etc, you are not where I want to be. If you are rich and a jerk, who lies cheats and steals from his fellow man. I am not listening to you about humanity and charity. If you are a cheater and use illegal drugs and you preach to me about god and church etc. I am not listing to you at all. If you have never lived in government housing project or been on food stamps I am not listing to you about how social programs help people out of poverty.
I don’t want to be poor, and thank god I am not anymore, I used to be the poorest. I have lived out of my car, gave plasma for grocery money, went to a food banks for grocery’s. I also now make a six figure income. I don't have college degree or a family member who paved the way for me. I now live in a big house, we drive really nice cars, and I am a member of a country club. After living both sides of life, I can’t go back to being poor.
If you are poor and sick of it, here’s what you need to know. You don’t have to be smart, you only need two things, drive and work ethic. You do not need an opportunity because through hard work opportunity will come. What’s hard work? Doing the job better than everyone else every day. If you work at McDonald it’s OK, my first job was Burger King, and I tried to be the best cashier there was. You want to get promoted and make more money? You need to make yourself the obvious choice. People get fired because they make themselves irrelevant.
1) The best person never gets fired. They don’t layoff form the top down. Unless you are in a union, that’s one of the reasons I disagree with them.
2) Dress for the job you have and want. Looking professional is not selling out, it’s growing up. You can always sag and not iron your pants at home. Business men do not want to hire Little Wayne look a likes, unless you are a rapper. Likewise Little Wayne does not want to look like a business man. But when Jay Z starting looking and acting like a business man, doors opened. Big White House doors, you don’t see Little Wayne on stage with the President for a reason.
3) Talking professional is not selling out. People love to talk about Denzel Washington. Well I never heard Denzel say fosheezy. Once again to speak slang if you are a rapper.
4) If you are on unemployment and turn down jobs because you make more on unemployment you are closing all opportunities. I took a job going door to door which brought me to the job I have now. If I sat back on the couch collecting a check, who knows where I might be.
5) Learn something everyday. If you want to have money, you must do what people with money do. Read books, stop buying stupid items and make better decisions. If you are on food stamps but have and iphone, you need help. That was hard for me, I learned that lesson late. Only spend 70% of a dollar not 110% of it like I was. I love credit, and now credit owns me.
6) Black people please stop telling you kids the country is out to get them. They have the best opportunity in the world living here. I grew up with a father in jail and a hard working mother. We moved from Grand Parent to Grand Parent, welfare, to public housing. Now I’m not rich but I have more than most. Not because I had a better opportunity, I never finished college. And the years I spent there didn’t go so well. I made myself set a goal to not be mediocre, and like Will Smith said “I am willing to die on a tread mill” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doqS35FfcUE. And lastly ask for help, everyone needs help and people are there for you. If not message me. Lets beat down poverty.
