FRIENDS. They are Barzinin’ you, watch out for the traitors! How do you know if you have good friends? That’s difficult considering the structure of reality. Defining reality is difficult and complicated because we reside in an ocean of phenomena that we don’t know nor understand. Like consciousness, we don’t know what it is, where it is located and how we can account for it. We also have cognitive biases that our minds can’t control. Which leads to the question. Are we in control of our actions or just a program dictated by socio-economic factors, peers and family? Are our thoughts, really our thoughts? Are we the autonomous creatures we would like to think of ourselves? The truth is that we are a byproduct of our ancestors, a continuation of the human thread, the progression of evolution. As such we have evolved to be in sync with our environment to survive. Being in sync with the environment and nature helped with food, this is important because food helps with the survi...

No longer fighting When we no longer fighting, woah that's bad. It sends out the message that none of this is worth it anymore. It is to resign. It's whatever. Like "I don't wanna do this anymore, do what you want, whatever makes you sleep at night, it's your life". When we no longer fighting, we are final like death, we are no longer emotionally invested, we just don't care anymore. To no longer fight is to accept defeat and all its conditions, to not have the will to carry on. It is to have all your enthusiasm suspended. It is to reserve your energy and voice, to be mute like a mime and cease to do anything like a statue. When we no longer fighting, woah that's bad. Do something, hit me, curse me, cry, plot my murder, do something, anything! Don't turn your back on me. Don't walk away from me. Maybe I've taken you for granted, maybe your presence has spoiled me, maybe I am entitled but I love you, please don't go, I need y...

Fuck Bitches I say fuck bitches, no exceptions. Just when I start to like you, you go and fuck my best friend. Damn! You a special kind of serpent. Slithering your way into my life. Miss Mamba, cold blooded and heartless. You can never trust these bitches, they screw like rubber cause they are nuts. They never even yours anyways, just your turn like a blunt. Smoke good and pass like a drive by. Penetrating and piercing my heart with bullets dipped in cyanide. Killing all the love I had for you with your poisonous deceptions and disguises. Masks that conceal your true intentions and motivations. You slipped and landed on his dick, please. I say fuck bitches and remain autonomous like a Ruler. No attachments like a stapler and stay between these thighs, penetrating and breaking these walls like Jericho. Don’t let them break the code though, it’s no commitments like freelance. That’s her only chance. I say fuck bitches, I say this figuratively and literally. You just an option...

Bitter Winter The tedium of going to castings, you risk it all and gain nothing for your efforts, you saw people who are just like you in the waiting room, some even prettier than you, willing to do the same job, what's done is done. The casting director lady has seen it all, the frizzling enthusiasm of youth vanish. First couple of months, you had the spirit, but lately you just coming in to mark the register, until you win or lose hope. You thought you did your best and that you'd get the part, so you wait and wait for a call that never comes. Indifference, it's like you don't exist. Agitated and flooding with anxiety, you offered to shoot the scene again but were met with "No thanks, that's not necessary, we have everything we need". There's nothing you can do, it's not in your hands. They decided against you the moment you left the room, meanwhile you're living in hope, painting dreams in your mind that never come to fruition. B...

The pink Smoking and chilling with the homies when the topic of eating pussy came up. The homies vehemently protested arguing that it was not wise. A queef to the face will really set you back. I laughed because of the hypocrisy, I knew they were all eating pussy but acknowledging it was taboo cause bitches be bitches. Never trust something that bleeds for 5 days straight without dying. Besides you really wanna be known for blowing the hoods mattress? A woman's selling point is her purity and some of these bitches have World War 2 body counts. Nah, it's stick and move like a USB stick, no lingering around, maybe fingering around but never licking around. The homies talked sense, still I made my case and pleaded guilty to turning that cherry out, licking to satisfaction and turning her lights out. I had to induce a bit of anxiety to ensure I was not alone. Some women are into licking other women, you really wanna lose to a Susie? Cause you know she eats pussy, better...

Expose Sit back and let them expose who they are. Relax, they are careless. Accident prone niggas drawn to destructive tendencies. Never react, that's a bitches move, respond to end the game. You let a nigga kick you once, then he's going to kick you once, you let him kick you twice and he's going to kick you twice, you let him kick you three times and he's going to kick you three times. But if you break his legs, there's not going to be any kicking. Backstabbers, they smile at my face and stick blades to my back. What? You think I didn't know? You fugazi niggas are faker than silicon tits, stationary in your endeavors and lacking bounce in your steps. Sit back and let them expose who they are. They can't help themselves, they are bound to trip. Words and actions like a banana peel. Motives scripted like a wrestling heel. You diss me, you diss yourself. Check the subtext, they laughing at you. We see all your insecurities. Sit back and let them e...

Catching up Catching up with those who had a head start. Check the rearview,  I'm behind you,  Keep left,  I am coming right,  time to overtake your tired ass.  Greatness is in my blood, I am a clock builder not a time teller.  Life is a marathon,  You tired yourself in the first mile,  Sprinting like a drag.  Foolish,  now your engine is totaled.  Potential wasted like a GTA bust,  Couldn't handle three stars,  While I am thriving on five.  Fucken ridiculous.  Catching up with those who had a head start. Stock rising like the Vanguard while theirs declining like a single-mother's,  different goals I suppose.  Nothing can stop me now. 

Muse She used to be someone important to me, my inspiration in a world dulled out by grayscale, she was the color that brightened by landscape, the portrait I held in high esteem. I used to love her, at times she was all that I thought about. I used to fantasize about our life together and how we'd be so happy, the fairytale life completed by the beautiful stife. I thought we were destined to be together but I was wrong. We were simply the lyrics that never made the song. I blame myself, I get carried away and build sandcastles in the sky, with no base, no foundation. I made her up in my mind and she came alive and took up a role that soothed what was lacking in my life. She was a lie, a work of fiction and I didn't know what was real anymore. Her theatricalies and antics took over my life and dominated my outlook on life, she inspired me, gave me new eyes to which I could gaze over the world like an astronaut, she was out of this world! My muse, I loved her but she...

THE PILLOWMAN Set in a totalitarian state, that's always fun. The subtext communicating that darkness and lack of control prevails. The story world is uncertain, suspicious and not sure of itself. It seeks resolution, justice and truth. The bounds of morality are put through a microscope. What's right? What's wrong? Are you right for suffocating your parents with a pillow because they abused you as child? Is taking another life ever justifiable? Definitely not a show for snowflakes. Murder, blood and torture are a running feature in the show. There's indifference in the murders by the characters for humors sake and just sociopathy. The story starts off in an interrogation room when a writer Kutarian is questioned of the murder of children resembling and mirroring what he wrote in his short stories. The details of the murders and his stories are identical. The detectives even find tangible evidence in his house of the victims severed body parts. The deaths ar...

The things you own end up owning you. The rise of consumerism is one of the reasons depression is so rife in the west and just about everywhere in the world. Consumerism is good for the capitalist system but not for the human spirit. This is because as human beings, we can't help but to compare ourselves with others. It's hardwired into brains. Comparing is what creates meaning and it helps us classify things to see our progress in life. However it also creates anxiety because if I can't get that German car my neighbor recently purchased then I feel worthless. The things you own end up owning you but a minimalistic life is not the answer either. Moderation is a big word in this context. Know yourself and what works for you and practice that. Don't keep up with the Jones, keep up with your budget and responsibilities. I have simulated losing everything in my mind. This is a stoic exercise that helps me conquer fear, because if I am comfortable losing everythi...

Mastermind Alliance III: Hustlers manifesto. Hi Leigh, Firstly I would like to thank you for the course and all your efforts in the mentorship circles. It was such a great experience and I loved every second of it. I learned so much, I grew so much and I got to talk business every Tuesdays. My Tuesdays were the best and I treasure the experience. Admittedly, selfishly, I never want to lose that. I think you are so knowledgeable and professional that I want you as a mentor. There’s so much I could learn from you and you understand the content landscape and business as a whole. Napoleon Hill talked about establishing a “Mastermind” with somebody, or an institution if you want to attain riches. A “Mastermind alliance” is an understanding or a partnership that two or more entities share to get a particular goal. My hope is to form one with you. I am a creative whose personality trait is one of openness, that entails that all of the value is within. I am the business and there’s...

Mastermind Alliance II: MVP In 1976, Apple released their first computer. It was mainly hardware, a board. The two Steve’s sold the belongings to make it happen. Woz sold his awesome calculator and Jobs his VW car. They enlisted a buyer who made an order but they didn’t have capital to fulfill the order, regardless they moved things around and managed to create the required units. This was their MVP (Minimum Viable Product) and it was a success, the start of Apple computers. After their MVP, they set their eyes on designing and creating a fully-fledged computer to be named the “Apple 2”. They formed a “Mastermind Alliance” with Mike Murkela who funded them for a ownership stake in the start-up. A mastermind alliance is an understanding or a partnership that two or more entities share to get to a particular goal. It was a perfect union. Murkula got an ownership stake for his investment and a business and the two Steve’s got capital to build the Apple 2 and business experienc...

Mastermind Alliance Late 1880’s Coca-Cola wanted to turn 2 million into 2 trillion by 2034. Their plan to get there was Classical conditioning and Operant conditioning. Classical conditioning is how you learn naturally and progressively. You know fire is hot because it burned you. Operant conditioning is taught and programmed like wearing your mask and using hand sanitizer. To make their conditioning effective they used excessive advertising. Their advertising was mainly psychological – there’s something about seeing a beautiful woman that you absolutely have no chance with drink Coca-Cola, it makes you do things, it appeals subconscious urges and desires. Coca-Cola utilized Billboards, other print, radio and TV for their campaigns, it was widespread. Distribution was also key, it needed to be available everywhere, that way it would be credible. They trademarked their brand and perfected their secret recipe. They could have achieved their 2 trillion goals years ago but they...

Nietzsche II I think that Friedrich Nietzsche is the most beautiful person there ever lived. He was incredible! I love Nietzsche. He was very peculiar, so out the box, so passionate. There’s so much meaning in a Nietzsche sentence; he was so skilled at painting a picture with words. You could feel the passion in the words – he used exclamation marks like they were full stops. And with every sentence you feel your spirit getting uplifted, you feel yourself becoming a better person. He is such a gift to humankind. “What doesn’t kill you, will only make you stronger” oh my goodness! That is so Nietzsche. He believed to really exist is to manifest your talents and virtues – “Becoming the person you really are.” It’s so amazing that he had all these thoughts considering that he lived in isolation most of his life. He was cheerful and upbeat for a person who suffered so much. He lived alone and was beastly sick throughout his adult life. He was rejected by the woman he loved afte...

Nietzsche Nietzsche's philosophy was grounded in psychology and human nature, he was a master of human nature. He was a big fan of Arthur Schopenhauer but didn't agree with the tone of his work because it centered around persimism and nihilism, the idea of why bother since life is meaningless. Nietzsche's work is an answer to Schopenhauer's work, it is positive, practical and leads to a life of self-actualization. He was a genius, a man ahead of his time. He correctly predicted the 21st century, this is incredible for a man who was born in the 19th century. I see his observations playing out in life. He saw that the human spirit/soul would be under threat. He saw the decline of Christianity and the rise of nihilism. He saw the reliance of pills, the Soma that Huxley referred to on Brave New World. He saw the depression and society anxiety sweeping the West. He saw the loss of morals, ethics and meaning. He saw that man would be passive and moved by novelty a...

Taylor Swift I always liked Taylor Swift, especially in her country days. My earliest experience of her music was "Speak Now". It has one of my favorite songs of all time "Never grow up", an acoustic guitar-led ballad about time, youth, growth, nostalgia, life. It's beautiful and personal, it always made me reminisce about my life, my experiences, my childhood, simpler times when everything made sense. The lyrics are so descriptive and vivid, the guitar strings you along the different perspectives. How I wish I lived in a loop where youth is forever, time stands still and the smiles lasted an eternity. It's an emotive song, it's tragic, life goes on and we all grow up. The album also contains "Mine", "Sparks fly", "Dear John" and another favorite of mine "Mean". Her writing always distinguished her from everybody else, she writes with a lot of feeling and from real life experience, you feel her words an...

Role of the arts I have a picture of Van Goahs artwork as my wallpaper. It is a picture of a skull on the table. I have it as a wallpaper to remind me of my imminent death. It gives me solace and helps me put things into proper perspectives. It reminds me to not be passive, it reminds me that my time is limited and that I must do everything I can to be the man I want to become. It keeps me grounded and reminds me to not take life for granted, to be grateful for everything that I have and get better where I can. It helps me treat people well, to be compassionate and understanding because we all share this common ground. We are all born into a world we don't understand and we don't know the rules, we all doing our best with what we were given. No one knows anything real about this world, the Billionaires don't know, the scientists don't know, the philosophers don't know, everyone is just speculating and it's scary. Looking at this picture everyday give...

Generative principle I want to explore this one Universal law that governs all the laws of the Universe namely; the law of cause and effect, the law of gender, the law of polarity, the law of correspondence, the law of mental, the law of vibration and the law of rhythm. It is called the generative principle and it says what we care enough about to put our will behind is ultimately what gets created in our world. The generative principle is everyday habits and how we navigate reality. It is about what we focus on. For example, the great Lionel Messi is going to score that winning penalty on match day because he has scored a million penalties in practice. This scoring of penalties at practice makes him a serial scorers of goals and this is what is reflected onto the world. Lionel Messi has more than 10 000 hours under his belt and has attained mastery at football. Ultimately the world is made up of information and as you engage with your field of study, more information gets ...

Too good for you Yes I am still here, fly as ever! Life is a bitch ain't it? The girls who used to be fly are now disasters, I am shocked, it's like time staled up their will to live. Ambitions and dreams cremated and contained in an urn. All they have is images of who they used to be. All I see is single mothers, they reek of desperation and no future prospects. It was good when you were whoring around, now karmas got you by the clit. Stupid with men fleeing, 30 ain't a joke. The girls who used to be just meh are ripping it up, winning like a fix, hot as mercury and dolled up for success. I guess we all get our time to shine. Yes I am still here, fly as ever, so amazing like coitus in winter. All I get is prepositions from girls who used to have it. Lol, what I need you for? You ain't hot like me. Levels babygirl levels, I am way too good for you. I keep on getting better and better while you in free fall, you'll only drag me down. Shit, I deserve someb...

Acknowledge Me! It's only going to get louder, I am the greatest of all time.  I am the pace setter,  the standard maker,  the needle mover,  the head of the table!  I am operating on God mode,  no one is on my level.  Everywhere I go,  I leave a trail of destruction.  Everywhere I go,  I am the best.  There isn't anything I haven't done,  no obstacle I haven't conquered.  Acknowledge Me!  Say it,  admit it to the world,  renounce all God's  worship your Tribal Chief.  I am the only one,  everything that you see in your map of experience is mine.  Acknowledge Me!  Admit it,  bow down,  say I am the greatest of all time.  It will only make your life better,  you'll gain favor with your Tribal Chief.  Acknowledge Me!  I have all the accolades and titles,  I have held them for the longest in history,  I have beaten them all!  No o...

Secrets to success Warren Buffet was asked the secrets to success in an interview and his answer was that you needed to be able to express and articulate yourself verbally and on paper (written). He cited a certificate he got from completing a course on public speaking from Dale Carnegie as his best and this is a man who has masters and degrees in the field of business from the best Universities in the world. The Dale Carnegie certificate is even on display at his office, the degrees aren't. Buffet continued that anyone who doesn't have this skill is behind 50-70 years. Learning how to express yourself improves your value by 50-60%. I agree with him, I think it's the number 1 secret/skill for success, one that has worked for me immensely in my engagements with the world. The second secret to success is reading a lot of books. Reading expands your horizons and exposes you to world's you didn't know existed. Reading gives you different perspectives. Readin...

Propaganda Propaganda tends to have a negative connotation and it's warranted, we saw what happened in the 20th century with Nazi Germany. What transpired was just pure evil, but it's not just with Nazi Germany. Propaganda is everywhere. We see this with the depiction of Africa by the West. And how is Jesus Christ white again? Propaganda is everywhere, we see it on our money with Nelson Mandela, he is always there, looking at you, smiling. Sandton City has a place called "Nelson Mandela Square" and it is a place designated for Mandela. It has art, it has statues, it has stores that sell Mandela gold coins, it has stores that sell the type of clothes he wore, it is Mandela heaven. Because Sandton is my home, I see Nelson Mandela every day. I believe his propaganda, I believe that he was a great man. I am surrounded by proof. Yes, I concede Nelson Mandela was a great man, easily one of the greatest men who ever lived. The propaganda makes him better than the...

Change people’s minds Changing people’s minds is difficult. This is because people don’t like being told what to do. We also have biases that make us believe that we are right and everybody is wrong. There’s also the fact that we are all narcissists, hence the success of social media. We tend to believe that the world revolves around us and we internalize information that corresponds with this viewpoint. We believe we are God’s and can predict and forecast the future when that’s false, no one really knows anything, no one has the answers and no one can forecast the future. Reverse psychology is one way to do it. Another way is hypnosis, programming and unfair, unjustified passive aggressive comments that make you go “What?”, these work because they go into your subconscious mind, they plant a seed that can make all the difference. Another way to change people’s minds is propaganda. We witnessed an example of this with Germany and the Nazis. Children were brainwashed from in...

Conform or not to conform Conforming has its advantages for example if you are starting an online community, you have to understand the ecosystem and adapt to make it your own. You have to understand what works and what doesn't to create a framework and structure for your newly formed community. When you have a structure and framework you can slowly add what's different about you. Being different from the get go is not wise because you can get shunned and ignored, that's not good for creating a self-sustaining brand. Different doesn't necessarily mean good. You have to conform to a certain point because to conform entails to be emphatic and empathy makes you relateble and likeable. To conform is to understand and to be compassionate because you can mirror people's mannerisms, tastes and conducts. A perfect example of conforming to be different is with the Apple 2. When it was released it was just like a lot of computers in a lot of ways. It could run on ...

Fast start I want to explore a case study. In 2014, Brazil played host for the World Cup semi-finals against Germany. They were hot favorites to win the tournament. In this game more than 60 000 Brazilians filled the Belo Horizonte stadium. They (Brazil) were missing their key players like captain Thiago Silva and their golden boy Neymar Jr, through suspension and injury. Even with that, the concensus was still Brazil. When they sang their national anthem the whole stadium reverberated. They sang with a lot of zeal, passion and enthusiasm. It was inspiring and special. Some players even cried, they were playing for all of Brazil. The Germans on the other hand didn't show any of this zeal. It was just another game for them and an opportunity to get to the finals. They were merely focused, relaxed and professional. They didn't show the same energy Brazil showed. They didn't overwhelm themselves, they didn't show unnecessary emotions. Brazil started the game li...

Resilience When I think of the word resilience, Nelson Mandela and his freedom fighters come to mind. They fought so hard against the "impossible" and they won. They achieved this feat because they cared more. It wasn't easy too, 27 years in prison is an eternity. That is more than 10 000 days in prison - mastery! Consider Nelson Mandela's life for a moment. He and the other freedom fighters were banished to an Island were they would serve life for treason. They worked in labor camps all day every day, turning big rocks to small rocks. They were harassed, disrespected, abused and made to feel inferior throughout. They were treated like animals and not shown any humanity. The food was cold, rationed and not fit for a dog. The cells were cold and solitary confinement was a part of life because they were so vocal about their rights. Life carried on without them, family members died and they couldn't attend funerals. They spent the best years of their live...
