Never…ever…quit

No one can take away the progress that you’ve made.  No matter how many times you’ve failed or how many mistakes you’ve made.  It doesn’t matter.  All that matters is where you’re at and where you’re going.  Would you rather take action or go through the pain of another failure?  We all have setbacks.  But it’s the people that push through those setbacks that achieve the greatest things in life.  You must never, ever, quit.  So stay on your grind, Get On One.

Are you ready?

You’re on the cusps of success.  Your mind starts to make connections.  Ideas start to flow.  Inspiration comes from the smallest of experiences.  You can just feel it.  The world is coming to you, and everything in it.  It’s like you’re walking to the starting line of a race.  And all those years of struggle, sacrifice, and preparation are about to explode into a sprint when you hear that gun go off.  This ain’t a sprint though, it’s a marathon.  The marathon of Life.  Are you ready?  Are you ready for success?  Keep on doing that hard work.  Keep on perfecting those skills.  Keep on associating with the right people.  And keep on pursuing your dreams and passions.  It’s there for you, you’ve just got to take it.

“Everyday I wake up to the sound of waves crashing
Make moves, it’s time to take action
More bread for the basket
No sleep, I do that when I’m in a casket
No patience, I take no breaks and no vacations
I can’t wait!”

Transitioning from “fitting in” to “standing out”

Talents and abilities will only take you so far.  But effort will always set you apart from the crowd.  Effort can’t be faked.  Effort is what brings you new opportunities.  And effort is what brings you success. It gives you that slight edge over the other man.  And there’s no replacement for it, nothing.  So the next time you try to achieve that goal and you feel like you’re not good enough, put in so much effort that you “stand out” and become one of The GoodOnes.

“All I ever knew was Effort…which is between You and You.” – Ray Lewis

Two days ago apple changed its home page screen revealing the death of owner Steve Jobs. For myself I did not know much about him, but I knew alot about his products. It is amazing how his company’s innovation has affected lot of peoples lives on how they go about their day to day business. I myself own apple products, and it has completely transformed my life if you look at it in retrospect. Things that I could do now, 5 to 8 years ago would not be possible, like looking for a location to go somewhere right then and there, checking my account balance on the spot, basically anything on the spot that you would have to wait till you were home to look at on your home computer.

Recently, I stumbled on a youtube video on Steve Jobs speaking at a Stanford  commencement ceremony. Listening to what he had to say. his 3 stories show that just as innovative apple products are their owner had a mind to match. His story delivered a powerful message and I am blessed to have stumbled on it. One message that I really took from it is,” to do what you love and no matter where it takes you just have faith that the dots will connect.” It may not have been in those exact words but essentially it was what he was saying.  Pancreatic cancer claimed his life on wednesday at the age of 56, Here is the video of him at the stanford commencement ceremony , take time in remembrance of him to listen, and pursue what you love.

THUG LIFE RIP TUPAC



September 13 marks the death of a Hip Hop Icon, Tupac Shakur. A celebrated figure in the Hip Hop Community as well as a controversial character in the media. Still the name Tupac, his music & work influences current rappers, anybody and everybody that grew up in the 90’s, and the younger generations of today.

The words THUG LIFE can also be synonymous to Tupac. After reflecting at the post-tupac years, I feel the words THUG LIFE and it’s purpose may have been lost in translation overtime. That really people today associate thug life with being bad ass, being gangster, being a thug. Pineapple express depicts and accurately shows how the real meaning of thug life has been lost, as Danny Mcbride cocks back the shotgun and yells the phrase.

Yes, there are gangsters, thugs, goons that exist in neighborhoods all across the world.I am not denying that. But truly Tupac is too much of a genius mind for “THUG LIFE” to have just that sole meaning. Tupac touched all lives , he was the agent for change, an inspiration to many, and the Codes of THUG LIFE are a testament to that:

The Code of THUG LIFE, was an attempt to remedy cocaine & senseless violence going on in african american communities back then.  As well as an attempt to establish some order in the streets, and at the same time keep the community safe while letting gangsters be gangsters.

I don’t know to what extent these issues exist today, but I am writing to enlighten anybody willing to listen and be a witness to Tupac’s work. So this is to 2pac, 15 years after his death and still lives on through many. RIP.

Marty McFly Nike Mags

Growing up with watching “Back To The Future” as a kid I found this real dope. Nike Bringing back the Marty McFlys.
On top of that 1500 of the shoes are being sold on E-Bay for the Michael J Fox Foundation in aiding efforts in Parkinsons Research. It’s nice to see companies engage in activities not just being concerned about their profit and actually giving back to causes that need that slight margin of money to benefit others.
