Creative Boredom: Deep thoughts > Settling for less!

Last night my sister bought me a new book! Yay me!!
The name of the book is - Letters to a Young Brother! by Hill Harper!
I opened it last night and didnt put it down until my eyes closed from being up so late!
It is honestly a real good book I'm almost done with it!
SHOUT OUT TO HILL HARPER FOR WRITING THAT INSPIRATIONAL BOOK!!!!
I woke up this morning and decided to open it up again before getting my day started!
I really love the book that much!
But anyway as i was reading I started thinking about a blog to write! And by god's grace i was able to be inspired enough to write this blog! i hope you guys enjoy this one !


If you have the potential and opportunity to better yourself, should you settle for less?
Of course not! You should never sell yourself short of what you really want to achieve!
As a matter of fact, you should shoot higher than what you really want! "Shoot for the moon, so if you fail you land somewhere along the stars!"
Why should someone tell them-self they are never too good for something?
July 20th, 1969 Neil Armstrong stepped foot on the moon!
November 5th, 2008 the 44th President elected was HALF african-american!
May not be a whole! But he still counts for something in history!
But my point is, if a man has already been to the moon and we have a black president!
That goes to show that anything is possible! Anything you put your head to can be achieved!
So why sell your self for anything short of the best!
If you have the chance to better yourself then why not?
No one can tell you the price of YOUR future! It's YOURS !!!!!
The point I'm tryna make is! NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS!
I can't help but to stress that more!!!

What brings me to that point this morning is this!

I woke up this morning and someone told a friend of mine he should give up high school and get his G.E.D, get a job and start on his way to college! After repeatedly telling the person no.... they said HE was stupid! This was brand new to me! I have never in my life heard anyone being called dumb for wanting a high school diploma! but i kinda understood what he was talking about when he said no! I got left back once which means he only has a year and a semester left of high school! He is one month away from starting high school and they are telling him to give up? HE said to me. "Why would i settle for less? If i have the opportunity rite now to become better why sell myself short?" which made me write this blog! He was so RIGHT! he told me "i want that diploma n my hand! I want that piece of paper PROVING that my hard work paid off!. PROVING that i was determined to be better! I don't want the document that says i took the easy route!" and i congratulated him for that! He had made a point that had really touched me!
Inspired me to write this blog and tell everyone else that you should never settle for less! He stated "HIGH SCHOOL TEACHES YOU ONE OF LIFES GREATEST VIRTUES! AND THATS PATIENCE" i told him he should copyright that quote lol. But seriously tho he was right! Why would you take the easy way out? he would get his g.e.d and a job rite away! But it wouldn't be the job that could help him be greater! Feel me? he mite get the job rite now and then be stuck with a low paying for the rest of his life!!!!! SCARY SHIT! Truth be told! i respect him for the decision he made! Not alot of young people think like that now a days!
I could write about this for hours but it's time to start wrapping up!

Point blank period the real point being made here is.....

NEVER SETTLE FOR LESS!

END OF STORY!
