Bad Parents are Blessings

I think that the SHITTIER your parents the more likely you are to be extremely successful. On the one hand, your parents are SHITTY and they did nothing for you so you become a self-sufficient ACCOMPLISHMENT MACHINE! OR you’ll be extremely horrible and worthless because your parents did nothing for you…LESS LIKELY, but it happens. I don’t think the pendulum swings back to moderate. The Pendulum just swings from one extreme to the other. #idontmaketherules In my video Double-Edged Sword, I talked a lot about Sir Issac Newton’s Law of Motion. “Every Force Has an Equal and Opposite Reaction” ....

Double Standards for White People

Kendrick Lamar brings a fan (white girl) on stage to sing the chorus of his song m.A.A.d city. There are a few mentions of the N-Word in this song. Watch the video to see what the fan does. There seems to be a double standard when it comes to speech. In this case, black people seem to be able to have a “lock” on the use of the N-Word. White people cannot say this word as freely. I’m not debating whether this should or shouldn’t be the case. Is there a double standard that we are willing to accept?...

Woo-Woo Post! Follow Your Dreams (ugh I hate posts like these)

A note to myself (and all of you), Dear Justin, You spent 60 days studying for you ISSAP concentration for your CISSP certification. Why? You didn’t need the cert. You didn’t want the cert. Your job didn’t mandate that you get the cert. Why did you waste so much time doing something you didn’t want in the first place? You love recording and editing and posting videos so why didn’t you spend all of your time doing that? You didn’t even pass. Maybe your heart wasn’t in it… Don’t do it again dummy! Your time is precious, spend it ONLY...

The Successful Should Just QUIT

“I succeeded so I quit.” #thingssuccessfulpeopledontsay I’m at the 2017 Press Preview for the New York International Auto Show and I just heard a presentation from Bridgestone, the tire company. Bridgestone said they have been working on some cool technology for their TIRES. But, before we get to that what do I think about tires? Tires are: Round – can’t get no better right? Rubber – durable ain’t it? Tread – water out means less crashin’? Pressure monitoring – less under inflated tires in the winter! Run Flat Technology – Nail punctures r sooooo 1990’s!

Watching My Son – and His Tutor

My parents made NO EFFORT to get me the help I needed, and it really hurt me. I don’t blame them, but the facts are the facts. I was hurt by, the lack of attention they paid to my future. I had to figure life out on my own, and that difficult for a kid. When you are young you don’t have the answers, sometimes ANY OF THE ANSWERS.

How Insecure Men Ruin Everything! Insecure Men Cannot Be Trusted Under no circumstances can you, or should you trust an insecure man. EVEN if he is your father or husband.

I’m just saying you cannot trust insecure men…..they don’t think the way they ‘should’ yes SHOULD. Here’s why. Let’s say you know a man, he’s a boaster. One of those guys that always talks about himself. ALL THE TIME. You never stop...

Can Shame be a Motivator?

Shame used to be a tool used to Motivate, now what is it? I have a “way” of looking at things that, can sometimes, upset or frustrate some of my audience. I’ve gotten a lot of positive response on the blog, and a lot of negative feedback as well. I’m not ashamed of what I write or how it might come off. I care more about the content I provide for you here. I’m not ASHAMED. Which is also the subject of this post. SHAME. a feeling of guilt, regret, or sadness that you have because you know you have...

Indulgence STOP – NO GIVE ME MORE?

Indulgence Defined : the behavior or attitude of people who allow themselves to do what they want or who allow other people to do what they want : the act of doing something that you enjoy but that is usually thought of as wrong or unhealthy : something that is done or enjoyed as a special pleasure Interesting. I took a few interesting points from it. Indulgence is Reasonable. Indulgence is Expected. Over-indulging has consequences, and labels. Under-indulging must be a ‘thing’ too right?

People are Givers or Takers – There is Nothing in between…..

Every person can be clearly identified as one of these types of people. The Givers, and the Takers. The Giver: To present voluntarily, and without expecting compensation : bestow. I love the definition of the Giver. It’s very clear. There are 2 specific parts of the definition that stick out to me the most. Voluntarily and Without Expecting Compensation The Taker: The act of taking; to get into ones hold or possession by voluntarily action. The definition of a taker was a bit harder to come by, and discern. It was derived from the verb, to take. It does highlight the voluntarily action...

Reasonable Rage

Rage Wears a Mask. He constantly tricks us…… First, let me talk about my battle with Rage… We all get angry, frustrated, disgusted, and a myriad of other things. I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about RAGE. Like most people, you become enraged when you feel that you’ve been wronged. Rage, on Wikipedia, is defined as: Rage (often called fury or frenzy) is a feeling of intense, violent, or growing anger. It is associated with the fight-or-flight response and often activated in response to an external cue, such as an event that impacts negatively on the person. Someone might cut you off (infuriating), you might stub your...
