Probably 5 minutes to write out what I'm thinking about. Glad you came through and please next time no advertising. I don’t spend as long as you think!

What makes it funny is if they would wait a year or two longer they can start their own and almost guarantee a certain amount of profit. I agree with you.

Most cats you meet who you think are strong enough never really are. They read, they recite but they don't really understand! Shit you don't have to tell me about people wanting you to help in the way they want. I got cats mad at me when I tried to teach them how to do International Trade. I told them the books to buy and to take the test and they said I didn't spend my time training them. I felt it's the same books I read and I didn't know shit so why do I have to hold your hand. I might have to get me one of those waist length coats then because people like to blame their lack of prosperity on me nowadays too!

But yeah... some people get mad and think that everyone is obligated to help them in the way they believe help should be given. Sometimes people can't grasp the greater lesson and only focus on the immediate reward (which is often quickly lost). BPV? Nah man... they got nice looking waist length coats that can stop most small caliber bullets. I don't want to look like Fiddy.

LOL! I'm just saying it's natural to want to be your own man but sometimes people forget that you showed them everything and they come back thinking you slighted them. You have a old wise man way of going about life. I really think you need to keep on the BPVest cuz someone might not ever learn the lesson. @UBJ – In the meantime keep on the BPvest huh? LOL!

I almost discourage most people. But behind the scenes I'll let people know where to find a brotha' so that they develop the social skills on their own from their own true perspective. A lot of people get mad and think that I made them fail. It is only years later when someone tells them that it was I who set up their "accidental" meeting with a mentor. Or that I sent business their way. Or that I made a call that put someone in place to help them with a problem. When thy ask way I went about it in this way - I explain that some lessons can't be taught - only learned. The important thing for me isn't that they respect me, the important thing is that they respect themselves and their own abilities. Hopefully, they'll be able to help someone else without being worried about taking credit. I’m usually kind of mean when I give advice.

People like to regurgitate stupid sayings without fully thinking them through. If your friends hurt you but your family finishes you off then why don't you work on your family so the strangers can never be more important than your blood! I don't know where this is coming from but I am sure as an attorney you can explain yourself. I am not challenging your intelligence as much as I am making a statement. I think you need to fall back and just comment on the blog because realistically I don't know who you are to even attempt to say something personal about you! @Attorneymom – I don’t agree with the pastor you are quoting but if you believe it who am I to go against it.
