Quote of the day

28 Apr

You know when life is hard, and feel you giving up. Just keep ya head up better days are coming. Trust me I been there, and when I thought why me, why can’t i get a blessing. When you least expect it your head will be raise above the water, you know when you feel you are drowning.

“And if you come from under that water then there’s fresh air
Just breathe baby God’s got a blessing to spare
Yes I know the process is so much stress
But it’s the progress that feels the best
‘Cause I came from the projects straight to success and you’re next
So try they can’t steal your pride it’s inside
Then find it and keep on grinding
‘Cause in every dark cloud there’s a silver lining
I know… ”

Dreams

24 Apr

Where do they start ?  The answer is different for everyone.  I know one thing everyone has them.   Dreams are what often keep me up often till 6 am in the morning, and up at 10 am.   What is it that powers dreams well again the answer is different for everybody.  I know one thing though, something powers those dreams.
The other day I was in the car, and I was looking at a pretty big office building; It was just for one company, and I really thought WOW this all started with a dream.  In the whole scheme of things Jubril Agoro is small time not even close to big time, and he dreams of big time.  This building had to hold maybe 2000 employees and they probably have offices worldwide.    I really stopped and thought wow that is something to be admired.  I don’t what inspires you to dream but I can share with you what it is and was for me.   It was being a kid, and at church one of the older guys would buy like 20 kids  ice cream outside,and I thought wow how cool what it be to do that.   It was seeing my favorite NBA player on tv going back to old neighborhood and opening a computer center for kids to go and do homework, and use computer for whatever they please, and thought wow how cool would that be.    It walking down the street and seeing someone drive by in a Bentley looking so cool and relaxed and saying wow how cool would that be.  It was watching MTV cribs seeing all the amazing homes and condos,and saying wow how cool would that be.   It was watching Tony Robbins on stage, and seeing the standing ovations and the way he moved the crowd, and i said wow how cool would that be.
Then I also saw the stuff that kills dreams, FEAR.    It was seeing people put it all on the line and come up short some even lose their houses.  I thought I wow I don’t want that to happen to me.  I have seen people tell go and tell all their friends and family of how successful they are going to be and they fall flat on their face and family and “friends” snicker and say i told you why did you even waste your time.   I thought wow i don’t want that to happen to me.   I saw some people get on stage, and they had the crowd laugh at them.  I said wow I don’t want that to happen to me.
When I go to sleep at night I can’t do anything but dream.  So I figured I might as well dream big and make a difference in this world, so when I die I am somebody and not a Nobody.   Might sound harsh, but a lot people die nobodies.   The reason i think they are called “No” Bodies, because they do nothing important with their Body.     When you dream, and go after success, its not guaranteed, but if you don’t go after your dream one thing is promised you won’t achieve your dreams.

Leaders don’t look around for approval they move forward regardless. but peer approval does feel good were human. That’s What separates leaders from Followers.

These are lyrics from song. I am not biggest fan of this dude but its so DEEP. I think All feel this way sometimes or at least have sometime

And if you come from under that water then there’s fresh air
Just breathe baby God’s got a blessing to spare
Yes I know the process is so much stress
But it’s the progress that feels the best
‘Cause I came from the projects straight to success and you’re next
So try they can’t steal your pride it’s inside

Harvard University

14 Apr

WOW Where do I start. Now if you know me I am far from College school boy. If hadn’t started a business in high school I can’t say Harvard would of been out the question for me. I lost true motivation for school freshman year in high when I started generating a ADULT income. Put it like this if my kids don’t become biz whiz’s by time they graduate high school. I would want them to attend Harvard.

Lets start with some notable alumni and peeps who didn’t graduate.

You have the the obamas, George bush. You bill gates and Steve Palmer “Microsoft” and also mark zuckerberg “facebook creator”. I could go on and on with people that stepped foot inside Harvard.

To me I believe Harvard is still number till this day because of standard that they hold. They expect the very best and they get the best. They challenge students to achieve greatness. Students among themselves push each other to the limit. I am not saying its even important to graduate from Harvard. I think best successes of Harvard dropped out.

Don’t get it twisted you GET CONNECTIONS at Harvard. You get a network of people that have powerful people in very powerful places, and Minds that create change. I don’t what is more important at Harvard the education that you receive or network people that you connect with. Graduating form Harvard is not like graduating from state school. A lot of big firms RECRUIT students. Its not like regular folks who go and have to look for jobs. The top peeps Harvard are WANTED.

The reason I wanted to make this post is the level of people that come from harvard. I will update it later with more brilliant people. DON’t get it twisted you don’t have to even see harvard to create brilliance, just saying when hang around like minded people great things happen

What do you Personally think of Harvard

 

20 Highest Paid Soccer Players in the World

13 Apr

Do you know what you wanted to be when you were younger ?  Like if you could do this for the rest of your life you would be the happiest person in the world.   Well for me it was being a pro football player aka soccer.  I was born in london, and lived there for about 10 years.   Thats all i did 6 days a week,  and I loved every minute of it.  I would watch my favorite players on tv all the time and watch in awe as that graced the pitch “field” .   My favorite team was and still is Arsenal and my favorite player of all time was Ian Wright.   I remember the first time I ever meet Ian wright it was like I was meeting someone non human.   I know I attracted Ian into my life because I never ever went to premier league game, and there wasn’t a professional team within 50 miles of me.  I lived in south of england.   I meet ian wright at shoe store at a autograph signing .     He gave me his hat of head and it was like a moment out of movie when a little kid goes up to his hero and hero like hey says  “hey sport how you doing” and kid says” can I have your wristband”  and he says sure and kid just lights up like xmas tree.   He gave me his cap and a nice big high five,  everytime i took bath for next week i didn’t wash my hand.    I was inspired to write this because i was browsing Forbes and I am about to share with 10 people that are getting paid to live their dream.    So take a moment and check out this people

Our Deepest Fear

by Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

Michael Jordan Hall of Fame ” Is that Enough”

03 Apr

Mike has finally got the call that will place him with all the other great basketball players of all time.   This is different there has never been a player to change a game like the way he has.   There has NEVER been a player to Change a Business the way he has.   There has NEVER been a player like him.      Michael Jordan  has probably  inspired more people to take a jump shot than anyone in the world.   I don’t think anyone has ever made jersey number more Famous.    I can’t say in my lifetime there has been a more ionic figure to ever grace a sport.    When you compare excellence a lot of people say He is Micheal Jordan of……..     You don’t get to that level without serious Results.   The thing is most people are not capable of reaching this level of success because they don’t possess the talent to attempt, but he talent and hard work to become iconic.    Jordan was always made people around him better, because he demanded excellence of the people around him.    You might not have as much talent as him but he would not allow you not live up to your own potential if you were on his team.    He Made Nike the coolest brand on the Planet.    Billions of dollars have been generated by this one man.    I could go on and on about mike, but I will stop here and continue next week.  I will just leave you with some great mike footage.
