I admire work ethic. I think that it should be reinforced throughout our neighborhoods. Everybody should work hard. Practice makes perfect. You have to be diligent about what you want. You have to apply yourself. You have to motivate yourself. You have to do it for self by yourself. And then, you can do things for other people. But that's what I had to do. I had to do for self.

Never surrender, it's all about the faith you got; don't ever stop, just push it 'till you hit the top and if you drop, at least you know you gave your all to be true to you, that way you can never fail.

There is no substitute for hard work.

Reality is easy. It's deception that's the hard work.

The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.

People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing - continue to rock it - because obviously, God wants you here.
