Why does a kid who works hard and follow rules have to be a "goody goody"? That level of maturity is the separator between me and you. Believe it or not, you can be a savage on the football field AND refrain from getting high. Weird, I know.
Now go ahead and show us the stats for people from the hood who hustle their way to owning $600 million worth of fast food franchises. I'm guessing that's also not the majority.
FYI, murder isn't the only way someone can die too soon. Show me the average life expectancy for areas like that.
But this all started when we were talking about kids in college. Why shouldn't the advice be to follow the rules, work hard, get a degree, and become successful?
Therefore, the advice to a kid should always be "cheat, lie, and steal", because there is a guy who is worth $600 million. Forget the fact that most of the people who grow up here will end up dead or in prison.
What we've learned: even if you have the opportunity to get a free degree from Miami, go ahead and smoke pot and cheat in class, because if football doesn't work out, you can always hustle until you have enough money to open a liquor store.
Which has a lot to do with a football player at Miami. Keep breaking rules, kid. That degree is worthless. Go be a hustler, since that always has a happy ending.
It really is fun to read. "Son, I know you're on the football team at Miami, but quit trying to follow rules. Smoke pot, cheat, do whatever you want. You can always hustle and then open a corner store."
And they're still in the hood. Now tell us about the hundreds of thousands who end up dead or in prison because a mentor like yourself told them to just keep breaking rules until you decide to open a legitimate business.
A Miami grad can't write coherent sentences and claims that the best life plan is to hustle until you can start a local moving company?
Yeah, very believable.
I've heard it all. This guy is selling the idea that thugs are making money for a while, then building up successful, legitimate businesses.
I guess fathering 15 children and taking responsibility for 0 of them is part of the plan.
