We simply need to stop this practice of bailing out on our kids and just being up and out and leaving. How can any black man expect to get respect if you up and bail out on your own kids. I don’t care what type of drama you have with the child’s mother. I also don’t care about what age you are. If you can lie down and have the baby, man the F*** UP and raise your child!

You don’t have to be Mr. Super Dad of the Year just do regular stuff like call your child each day, talk to them, know exactly what’s going on in their world. Know their teacher, know their struggle, know who they are friends with, know your kid. I don’t know why people think this is so damn tough to accomplish. If that’s tough to accomplish, you will never accomplish much else in your world.

Also, don’t think that when you hit the age of 60+ that your kid is going to be welcoming you with open arms because they longed for you as a kid. I have personal experience with this and I’ll tell you this: I am not open arms welcoming the person who fathered me and bizounced when I needed him the most. I remember the days of wanting a dad there when things were difficult. He never was. When it’s time to come around when you’re old and you wake up and want your kid to be there for you, they might just reciprocate and return the favor you did to them. Man the F*&(* UP!

In case you didn’t notice, there are class wars jumping off right underneath your nose in America. Don’t believe me. Look around you. Are there any jobs? Sure there are but they are pushing those jobs overseas. The middle class is being decimated and America will be simply a country of haves and have nots. No one will care about the lower class structure as everyone will be trying to survive. But how do you survive in a class war?

EDUCATION is the only way. A true higher education in something in America that is the future and entrepreneurial. YOU MUST take it upon yourself to get this education and find the free education to do so. For example, Stanford University offers free courses in Databases, Artificial Intelligence, and Machine Learning which I am taking personally. Why take these? I told you before, we are in a class war. The more I’m armed and ready, the more you cannot shake me and force me into economic slavery.

The streets are going to be littered with people who did not make it in the next 5 years due to the economy. Which side will you be on?

Are you forever reliving the past and stuck in the 1970′s or 1980′s because those were your glory years? If so, get out. You can’t possibly have success if you are trying to relive every moment of time in the 70′s or 80′s. Yeah, it may have been fun and interesting times and you may have loved the Michael Jordan era of basketball in the 80′s but it’s time to let that go.

Getting stuck is real. I know people who are actually stuck and still even rock 70′s and 80′s attire naturally and not just during a 1970′s or 1980′s party. They are actually living as if they are in that era. It looks cool when you see them walking down the street but if you really know the person, it doesn’t seem quite as cool. Yes, everyone says to each their own. I do believe this, however, there’s also a saying that says let it go and move on.

Don’t let your glory years be behind you. You’re alive and well today. Let your glory days be today. Live for now. Live to create your space today and be happy in that space today.
