What Does It Take To Be A Success? USING YO' BRAIN

Cause if you don't, that s*** is gonna shrink, and you'll be left a slobbering addict of some passion or desire you've let run amok in the absence of your will and power to do something about it.

F*** Failure!

If computers didn't do 2 to the 23rd power calculations per minute or so to figure out a problem, you'd probably miss all the ones they got wrong! I call my computer "stupid" about 3 times a week.

But I forget it's magnificent piece of technology.

Get on the horn and call up your local college. Ask'em for any professors that teach brain science. Tell them you're writing a blog or doing a report and wanna ask them a couple questions.

Ask them, in as many ways as you can, how brain power measures up with computer power. This talk might be very eye opening for you.

And then, when ever you think you're dumb or have a reason to feel stupid ... think about what that crazy a** academic said about your brain.

Then go grab a burger, or a veggie burger if you don't eat meet, take a walk around the block, turn that b**** back on and take back your LIFE!

If you're that down on your luck ... you should pretend I'm screaming at you as you read this 4 times a day.

Also, pretend I'm buying you that burger. People like free food, It's encouraging. It's the most supportive thing to feed a hungry living thing.

Hopefully this feeds your brain, and you're not feeling like such a sucker anymore....

What does it take to be a success?

    Ever wonder where you could apply for a job like that?

      Damn right it's inspiring! But inspiriation don't mean a thing if you still don't do it. In order for this post to actually change your life ... for any piece of advice to actually change your life ... is to do it.

      Now, there's a popular thought that if you're doin' what I TOLD you to do, then that's a bad thing. I say ... consider what I TOLD you to do.

      Figure out if there's any part of my specific directions where I TOLD you to put a hand on the stove. Or take that money that buys your babies food and give it over to me so I can teach you to dodge bullets.

      Or did I tell you to humble yourself by striking a conversation with the most educated men and women in your immediate area about the thing that's sittin' between your 2 ears ... your brain.

      And to ask questions about what they spend their careers around and find out a little more about yourself than you did yesterday ... without spending a dime ... s***, Gecko takes you a quarter of the way there with that article.

      What did I ask next? To nourish yourself, give yourself some rest? Begin to think, pretend, and then stand up ... to do what?

      To tell YOURSELF what to do, understand the true meaning of a command function.

      They say it's one thing to tell yourself what to do and quite another to do it ... I say that as long you believe what "they" TOLD you ... to put that much distance between the 2 ... THAT'S your (our) problem.

    I would like to raise a point here. How the machines have stopped us from using our brains. Simple calculations, that could be done in the mind, are now done on a calculator. As a result the brain becomes dull and inactive.

    This is true, the brain is a powerful piece of equipment, problem is people waste it on garbage like watching tv, or whatever else there is that grabs their attention.
