Tell Your Son This Part 9

A lot of people think the world is out to get them

It is

Now what are you doing to better your position on the playing field?

There's a saying they use in the Army:

It doesn't matter how fast you make it to a firefight

If you didn't prepare your weapon and equipment

The same is true in your life

The path of least resistance may get you there faster

But you'll arrive ill-prepared for that opportunity

Being able to Buy something

Is not the equivalent of

Being able to Afford it

I've been given the opportunity to raise four nieces

You know what one of the best parts is going to be?

Teaching them how to circumvent the sorry men that they encounter

We don't need any weak blood in this family

Sometimes you're the Hammer, and sometimes you're the Nail

The key is to set yourself up to be the Hammer as often as possible

Your kids are the future of this country

Remember that when you let them watch T.V. and eat junk food all day

Your grandparents had 4 kids by 22

Society told us to wait until we are established in our “careers”

They tricked us to trade family life for work life.

Spend your youth chasing children, building yourself for these wealthy companies shouldn’t stop you from doing that

I had a few high school teachers tell me I would never amount to anything

To this day, I'm convinced they were talking to themselves

The strategic ideas for success are the same in all industries and fields.

It's only the tactical execution that differs, and only by necessity.

A serious problem people face

Is assuming you can't work and enjoy yourself at the same time

If you hate your job, find a way to do something you enjoy

Nobody else cares enough to do it for you

It's your life, you should act like it
