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.

Powers's patented rules to prominence
These are the rules from two weeks ago I'm apologize for keeping them from you and not letting everyone share in the vault of wealth that is professor Powers' mind. I know some people were truly devastated by my lack of promptness. So without further ado here are this weeks (two weeks ago) rules.
Rule #1 There is no limit to how far a man can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit.
Not everything has to be about you. If you are too stubborn to refuse to let someone to take credit for something you did or had a part in doing there will be an issue. However if you are selfless and look at the bigger picture you are winning. While it my irk you now to see some dick taking credit for your hard work if you let it happen and are willing to let them take the spotlight there is nothing stopping you from doing what you want. There is always a man behind the man. (Not a gay sex reference) And that man may just be you.
Rule #2 What would you do if you knew you could not fail?
I was asked this very question by JarJar Powers on Friday March the 11th and I can honestly say I don't know yet. I haven't found something in my life yet that if I knew failure was not an option I would pursue. I'm not sure why I can't answer this question but to me I cannot find anything that I would want to do. Just because I could become the head of a new computer company and become a famous millionaire I'm not sure I would want to. Hopefully I will be able to find an answer for this question by the end of the year.
Rule #3 A goal without a plan is a wish.
This quote is from Larry Elder. You can't wake up one morning and decide "I want to be rich" "I want to be lean and have a six pack" those are just wishes in order to turn them into a reality you must have a plan on how you want to do this. If you wake up one morning and say " I want to be lean and have a six pack and this is how I am going to do it..." that is a plan and that plan has a chance at working. Plans are the road we must travel to make our wishes come true.
Rule #4 Success is contingent more on attitude than aptitude.
Have you ever met someone who is really smart, knows a lot about everything, but constantly bitches about everyone around them and how they could be doing such a better job than everyone else. That person is a cancer. While they may very well be right that they could do better than the other people they aren't doing it so they need to shut the eff up. Now have you ever met a person who is kinda bright but is also a bit goofy but really nice and always in a good mood. Everyone loves this guy. They can hold intelligent conversations but can also get lowbrow stuff, they are always happy and making jokes, this guy is number one he will always be the more successful than the guy before him and thats because success is based on aptitude more than aptitude.
Rule #5 Invest for the future.
At this point in our conversation the Power grid and I were arguing about his retirement fund, his salary and all of his investments. He pause said his next rule was going to be about snow and then dropped this dank nugget of knowledge on me. I was confused at first because this has nothing to do with snow. but he had to go and deal with an AP issue because he runs this school so I was left to interpret it on my own. I was sitting by myself chewing this statement over, just thinking about what it meant. I get the obvious connotations between this and saving/investing but I wanted to find out the bigger meaning, what it meant to do this in other real life situations. As I entered my seventh consecutive hour of deep though it came to me, Just because you are living in the now doesn't mean you should stop thinking about the future. Go out and life your life to the fullest but while you are doing it make sure to think about when you are 80 and what you will be doing and how you might be effected. Now this doesn't mean you should stop bungee jumping or using heroin even though not doing that last one might just be a good thing to stop doing in general. But think about about if you really need that new big posterior tv, if you really want to see Carrot Top in concert, you don't no matter how high you are, or if you want to buy a huge amount of coke and strippers because unless you are Charlie Sheen you probably don't need it. You have to invest in your future and invest in yourself.

Powers's patented rules to prominence
Welcome back to the land mine of success that is Mr. Powers's rules for prominence it has been a little over two weeks since my last update but thats because boom boom Powers was globetrotting last week and we weren't able to meet.
Rule #1 Always leave a situation better than you found it.
This right here is a great rule and my personal favorite for the week. JJ was actually kind enough to demonstrate this rule to me in a real life situation and I sure can tell you it works. This rule goes under the life rules section that a lot of these rules go into. This one is helpful because if you can always leave a situation better than you found it the person will always walk away with a good memory of you and that is always helpful. This rule has also been used by George Costanza in real life with great success.
Rule #2 "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift, that why they call it the present."
I know that this quote blew most of your minds what with the rhyming and all but it is a good way to look at difficult situations. You can fix history you don't know what the mystery is you can only focus on your present. You need to unwrap the present to discover your mystery.
Rule #3a. Life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death.
3b. Life is a menu be sure to order all of the courses.
Yeah it's a two parter. I swear to god the Powers plant has tiger blood running through his veins when he comes up with these rules. This rule is saying that life has such a wide variety of dishes and opportunities yet most people are sitting in their chair with cheese pizza. Most people aren't taking advantage of life and all of the amazing things it has to offer they are just doing the same thing every day until they die. That sounds shitty to me so I'm going to make sure I try as many courses as possible before I die and live a rich and fufilling life.
Rule #4 Do what you love and the money will follow.
Don't worry about getting a job that will start you off at 45k a year in exchange for your soul, do something that you truly love to do, don't worry about the money, and just do it. If you love what you are doing the money will come naturally. You can't be afraid of what might happen you have to open your present.
Rule #5 Have you ever tried to keep lightening in a bottle?
Have you? That shit is impossible, you just can't do it. I won't lie I had this meeting last Friday didn't know what it went then it's now Wednesday I still have no clue what it means. I asked WWJPD when I was writing this, still nothing.So I'm just going to post a sweet ass picture of Goku from DBZ instead.
AWWWWWWWW YEAAAHHHHHHHHHH

Powers's patented rules for prominence
I had my second meeting with the Great One on Friday and he dished out some knowledge like always. However next week we will be unable to meet because he is in France right now with the French Club and won't be getting back until next Sunday.
Rule #1 There are three stages to a mans life, he believes in Santa Claus, he doesn't believe in Santa Claus, he becomes Santa Claus.
Mr. Powers put it perfectly after he told me this rule "when you believe in Santa you are dependent on others and their help, when you don't believe in Santa you can take care of yourself and are able to be on your own, and when you become Santa you are in the stage of your life when you just want to help others and their development in life"
Whiles its a very odd analogy it splits life up into three very distinct and very true stages that hopefully everyone goes through.
Rule #2 All things are ready if the mind is so.
This is my favorite rule this week because it is so true. If you are truly willing to set your mind to something and work as hard as you can to achieve it then there is nothing that can stop you but yourself. Another reason I like this really so much is because it rings true for my project. If I'm mentally ready to do it than it will happen and my end result will be what I want but if I'm not completely ready than my results will show it.
Rule #3 They conquer who they think they can. If you believe you can achieve you can achieve.
For some reason when ever I read this rule I think of Vikings. This is another rule that is about attitude more than anything else. The mind is an extremely powerful force and if you can convince it to do something there are potentially no limits.
Rule #4 You must learn how to learn and you must do it well because in life this is what you must know to excel.
I really like this rule. you have to know what works for you because everyone is different. For example if military presses work great for developing big deltoids for a friend of mine but don't work that great for me that doesn't mean I should stop doing my own shoulder exercises in favor or military presses because he had great results. You need to know what works for you might not work for someone else and vica versa because its different strokes for different folks.
Rule #5 Sometimes in life it may feel as though you are running in place. When this happens there are two possibility, you are either going to look around and discover you are in training, you are getting stronger, you are getting smarter you're getting more skills, getting ready for your big break or you will look around and discover you are where you want to be.
I view this a great advice when I reach a plateau. If i am stuck at the same weight or I am not feeling like I am making progress I will need to look around and see where I am and discover where I am.

Powers's patented rules for prominence
I had my first meeting with the Powers the Hun on Friday and he gave me the first five rules to success as written by Jarett Powers himself.
#1: Good is the enemy of great. If you settle for good you will never be great.
This is a great rule and really rings true. You can put in the work to be good and stop once you have gotten there and never try and achieve more or you can put everything you have into what you want to do and become great producing things even you never thought you could.
#2: Excellence is achieved only when you work to your maximum potential to do any less is to allow mediocrity to take place.
This is very true for my project. I can get what I want if I put in maximum effort if I don't put in maximum effort then I am concisely choosing to be mediocre.
#3: Somewhere out there he is training and when you meet he will win and you will lose.
This one doesn't really relate to my project because mine is only reliant on me but it is a good life lesson because it tells you that no matter how hard you work there will always be someone who is better than you so you can't expect to be the best unless you dedicate your entire existence to one thing.
#4: Crap is crap
"You can't take a turd roll it in powered sugar and call it a jelly doughnut" Jarett Danger Powers
#5: There are two types of people in the world people that do and people who spend all of their time saying why they can't.
This one is my favorite of the five. You can achieve what you want through hard work and determination or you can sit around saying how much you want to but there isn't enough time or coming up with excuses. If this kind of person put this much effort into their goals they would be done in no time.
This is the first set of rules given to me so every week after my meetings I will post the five newest rules.
