If I can’t live by my word than I’d much rather die! – Thank You from Blueprint 3

A man or woman is only as good as their word.  In the eyes of others, you have one shot to prove that you are a trust worthy person. It’s nearly impossible to regain trust from another after you have lost it. People forgive, but they don’t forget. Only make promises you can keep or you will be dead in the eyes of the ones you make promises to. If you promise something…deliver. If you are unsure if you can deliver…don’t make a promise. Bad salesmen do this all the time. It creates buyers remorse and the customer will never buy from them  again.

I will not lose, for even in defeat, there’s a valuable lesson learned so that evens it up for me. – Blueprint 2 from The Blueprint 2

Failure is essential for success. To succeed at a dream you must fail at it, learn from the failure, and grow. The best lessons are the ones that are discovered through a difficult loss. Success is guaranteed if you can bounce back from failure and learn from it.

Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week. – Diamonds Remix

Nothing is impossible. Why put limitations on what can be done? Human beings destroy the concept of “impossible” on a daily basis. The only thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve is when you believe it cannot happen.

“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.” – Paulo Coelho

I ‘m far being God, but I work goddamn hard. – Lyrical Exercise from The Blueprint

Hustle is the most important word in the dictionary of achievement. We all want the easy path, but success is not easy. If it was they would call it life. It is easy to survive, but it is hard to thrive.

He who does not feel me is not real to me. Therefore he doesn’t exist. – Izzo (H.O.V.A)

Negative people exist in this world, but they should not exist in your world. A negative person does nothing for you. Their existence is one of misery and self-limitation. They don’t dream. They watch dreams. Live yours and let them watch you on TV.

I’d rather die enormous than live dormant. – Can I Live from Reasonable Doubt

Mediocrity should not be allowed in your world. Be a masterpiece or be a disaster. People who live in the middle aren’t alive. They just exist. ThriveOrDie!

Far from a Harvard student, just had the balls to do it. – What More Can I Say from the Black Album

You don’t have to be a genius to obtain the life you want. The people who “make it” in this world are the ones who make it happen. Don’t worry if you don’t know everything. The answers will present themselves through the work. There is no such thing as a perfect moment.  Start now. It is the only option if you want to reach your dream.

They say a midget standing on a giant’s shoulders can’t see much further than the giant. So I got the whole rap world on my shoulders, they trying to see further than I am. – Hovi Baby from Blueprint 2

Don’t be afraid of others trying to copy you. They cannot copy you because you are an original. Tell everyone about your dream. They will want to be a part of it. Blaze trails – others will follow them!

Just because I know you’re a fan. Here is a bonus Jay-Z video!!!
