Asheru 'The-Boondocks'

I am the stone that builder refused.
I am the visual,the inspiration that made lady sing the blues .  

I'm the spark that makes your idea bright. The same spark that lights the dark. So that you can know your left from your right.

I am the ballot in your box .The bullet in your gun,The inner glow that lets you know, to call your brother son . 

The story that just begun ,the promise of what's to come and I'ma remain a soldier till the war is won.

C.R.E.A.M

The issue of money is very important, it will be a dominant issue in your life, probably even more so than women.

How do people exploit those who have little to no financial footing? :
By big corporations promising you a career to 'climb the corporate ladder' for the rest of your life with a promise for retirement packages and all.What they do not say is that there is no job security today.

Politicians are very wealthy and they did not earn their wealth through income. There is no Wealth Tax. But there is an income tax because they don't want YOU to be wealthy.

The cure from being financially exploited is:
1) Become financially literate - KNOW how to read a financial statement. Everyone needs to know how to do this. You will be dealing with money your entire life.
You will realize there are two constants in life: one is for you to make money. And second is for everyone to want your money. EVERYONE.

2) Keep open the OPTION of investing or making a business (You do not HAVE to).
But we become. stronger when we have more options, not less.
If you feel yourself incapable of breaking out and starting a business or investment, you will be enslaved to employers for the rest of your life. Just keep the options open.

3) Do what YOU want, do NOT follow the Way. What is the 'Way'?
The Way is College -> Good Job -> Marriage -> Big House -> Vacations -> Kids -> Save for kids college -> Retire.

You do not HAVE to do any of that.There is no formula for life.

Never trust anyone who tells you that should consider yourself 'lucky' even if you feel unhappy in your job,with your wife/girl, or house.

Do all the above and you will die happy.

Healthiness of soul is healthiness of life.

The Road Less Travelled

There are two paths in love and life. Live your dreams or live other people's dreams.

One path is HARD. The other path is EASY.

One path leads to SECURITY. The other path leads to FREEDOM.

Endurance ♂

When launching a business, sometimes its not about having a great idea or whether you believe in your dream or not.

It's a question of what you are willing to do to get through the tough times till you make a profit.

Burn-Out

Dedication to the craft is the artist's most vital necessity.

No matter what the medium, and no matter what material trappings the work may bring, the artist can destroy his or her life’s work simply by forgetting that it is truly life’s work.

This is your opportunity. Do not fuck it all up.

FRESH-CODE

This has been stuck on my bathroom wall for close to six years now.I call it my fresh code.

A positive image is one of the most effective ways to succeed. Image affects how people perceive you, along with your self confidence.

But a good image doesn't just happen- it needs to be cultivated.

Whatever the body shape or professional environment, what you wear and how you wear it is key to confidence.

It’s about wearing the clothes not letting the clothes wear you.

Build a wardrobe that looks good and fits your lifestyle so you will feel comfortable and confident.
When you are confident you will have respect for yourself and that means looking after your physical appearance.

Exercise keeps you in shape and alert.

Manners never go out of fashion and maketh the man.When a lady comes to the table stand up to greet her. A firm handshake and eye contact projects confidence, as does clear speaking.
Body language is also important.

Sitting with crossed arms and legs says no, while an open stance contributes to engagement.

In business, know your stuff. Preparation is vital, as is listening.One can learn more by listening than forcing your point.

Lastly, do things in life because you enjoy them that will reflect the man you are.
People dig that.
