Powers patented rules to promonence

This has been the first regular meeting Red Hot Chili Powers and I have had in quite some time, like three weeks.  This one was notable because Donny Mills was out of town on Thursday and Friday leaving none other than J-Boogey in charge of the school. He ran that ish like a boss during those two days, so much so that President Obama gave him the key to the world over the weekend. It happened, I was there.

Rule #1 A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with bricks others have thrown at him.

This rule is along the lines of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger although getting rocked in the face with a brick would be a bummer. But once you get out of your coma and out of the hospital, go through rehab to learn how to walk again, and learn masonry no one can stop you.

Rule #2 The key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Failure and success are much closer than you would expect. All it takes to become one or the other is a few small things and trying to please everybody by spreading yourself to thin is a surefire way to fail. After a while you cannot keep up with the weight of everybody pulling at you and you are bound to rip.

Rule #3 The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people

This is one of Jabroni Jumpping Jarrets favorite rules, in fact he likes it so much that in the beginning of the year he gave Riley and I each a copy of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" so we could become popular. It didn't work. But I got the message he was trying to send which was that if people like you and get along with you it makes everything easier and more things will go your way.

Rule #4 Don't confuse fame with success. Lindsy Lohan is one; Elizabeth Dole is the other.

Now adays it is so easy to become famous that you need no certain talent or ability, getting punched in the face or falling down is all it takes. So if you see a famous person don't assume they are successful because you never know they may have just been in the right place at the right time.

Rule #5 Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.

This is my favorite rule of the week mostly because it has to do with self determination and will power. The only thing holding you back is yourself all of the other reasons you give your self are excuses if you really want to do something there is no wrong just do it.
