No Rest For The Hungry...I'll sleep when I'm dead!

What up, world! I was sitting here writing on my latest script, when I decided to take a break and blog a bit.

Lately, I've been working a lot and haven't had as much time as I would like to write. Sometimes I get up early and write, and sometimes I write at night before I go to bed. But I try to ALWAYS write...everday...something...anything! No matter how tired I may be, or no matter how shitty I may discover it to be the next day when I read over it. Why? Because the only place the 'success' comes before 'work' is in the dictionary! A lot of people want to be successful at whatever they have chosen to do in life, but they don't want to work hard and pay their dues. I pride myself on never sitting around and waiting for people to give me things; I got out and get them.

Whatever happened to niggas being hungry and working hard to make sure that they can eat good? Where are those dudes at these days? Because from where I'm sitting, there are only a few of us left. So, if you're reading this, I want you to go take a look in the mirror and ask yourself, 'What is it that I want?' After you answer that, ask yourself 'Am I doing what it takes to get it?'. If the answer is yes, then keep doing what your doing and stay on your grind. If the answer is no, then you either need to re-commit yourself to working like a slave so you can eat like a king, or you need to choose to want something that requires a little less effort.

That's it. Now if you'll excuse me, I've gotta get back to this script!!!

Hey, this kinda relates to something I did today. I'm going to start interviewing for teaching positions next month and I'm feeling a little unprepared. So, I decided to be proactive by pulling one of my texts out and re-reading things I might want to incorporate in my classroom, and also in my interviews. I'm doing what I need to be doing Brandon!! Thanks for the reality check! :)

Hey-

This was a much needed reality check for all of the slaves to corporate America creating decks at 6 in the morning ...or maybe that’s just me :-) Thanks for the motivation!
