Takeaway #117 no victims via #TalibKweli
…Am I a victim or just a product of indoctrination?
They exploit it and use me like a movie with product placement…
Talib Kweli ♦ Hostile Gospel, Pt. 1
Takeaway 117: Are you the product or are you in charge of the product? Look, you can blame your circumstances today as a victim, or recognize circumstances as just opportunity for a new approach. Make up your mind and tee it up.
}Takeaway #129 privileged + confidential via #YoungJeezy }
…And it seven-thirty-two, shorty, leave it in my pager
We ain’t talking on them phones ‘cause I know you talking paper…
Young Jeezy f/ Blood Raw, Slick Pulla ♦ Keep it Gangsta
Takeaway 129: The mobile phone and even email are not appropriate for all communications. Keep your privilege and confidentiality.
Takeaway #131 the game not the player via #LilWayne
…And, no I never choke but I strangle beats
And, I am just a player in this game we be
So go blame the referee, don’t complain to me…
Lil Wayne f/ Curren$y ♦ President
Takeaway 131: Master the game, don’t let it master you. Hate the game, not the player. You have heard it before, but it’s time to focus on beating your adversary not whining. Is that where your head is at today, or are you whining about your circumstance? Your current business climate is curable, not fatal. Act accordingly.
Takeaway #132 on the ground game via #EvilEd
…I’m too high, far too fly to stay stationary
Basically I keep it constructive, like masonry…
Evil Ed ♦ Alien
Takeaway 132: Develop a strong ground game and keep pushing. The foundation is critical, but the only advantage it offers is a foundation upon which you can out build the competition.
Takeaway #133: Bottomline on listening via #Jin
…Simp-ly put, I limp with a pimpery foot
And that’s just how it’s meant to be took
Or taken – I hate the pigs
But I got fam out in Frisco, that’s my ba-con/Bay kin…
Jin ♦ Karaoke Night
Takeaway 133: Oh hell, this lyric is just clever so we put it down. The bottom line is listening is a skill. What is being said? Is EBITDA hiding ATCF? Is guidance, misleading? Is subtlety, subterfuge? Is this about a family or pork?
Takeaway #134: Leadership via #K-Rino
….And rule #1 in the Real Player Handbook
If you don’t stand up for your’s then you deserved to get it took…
K-Rino ♦ Call Um Out
Takeaway 134: It is about leadership. Stand behind your team or they cannot stand behind you. You can delegate, but ultimately retain accountability or you will not engender loyalty from your team.
