Rita, we're very dear friends, and I’m noticing that people who I thought would be around forever are dropping like flies. While I fully expect to outlive everybody I know, just in case I’m gone tomorrow, these are a few things I want you to always remember:
Rita, we're very dear friends, and I’m noticing that people who I thought would be around forever are dropping like flies. While I fully expect to outlive everybody I know, just in case I’m gone tomorrow, these are a few things I want you to always remember:
.

.
*Seek to own the race track, not to become the horse.*You are what you think, so if you refuse to think, you're nothing.
.
.
*Waiting on circumstances to make you happy will insure an unhappy existence. So be happy now, regardless of your situation.
.
*The only mature form of competition is to compete against who you were the day before.
.
*Never give anyone else's ability to think priority over your own - including mine.
.
*Never become so enraptured by the thoughts of others that you fail to formulate your own.
.

.
.
*Seek to become your own hero, and never allow anyone to remove your cape.
.
*An unexamined life is a waste of skin.

*Ignore hostility and haterism, because they’re the product of weak and frustrated minds.
.
*There are only two kinds of people in this world - good people, and bad people - and ignorance is the dividing line between the two.
.
*Without mistakes you would never grow, so you should never mourn your mistakes; you should celebrate your growth.
.*We can't out-scream 'em because they control the media, and we can't out-fight 'em because they control the military and police, so our only option is to out-think 'em, and we can do that if we'd just come together and think as a class.
.
*Efficient thought requires that you first, see life as it is, and only then, as you would have it.
.
*Intelligence is not static. It rises to accommodate your level of curiosity and your desire for accomplishment.

*The subconscious mind doesn't deal in self-assessment, so what you tell it you are, it believes, and begins to work under that assumption. So always think of yourself as the world-class diva that you are, and never doubt yourself for a second.
.
*Don't tell people who you are, show 'em.
.
*Friends are at their best while embracing your mutual failure as their comfort zone, but if they succeed beyond you, you’ll soon find that many weren’t friends at all.
.
*True love is always having your lover's back, and knowing you don't have to worry about your own.
.
*Some of the greatest minds I've ever known held court while sitting on empty milk crates in the parking lot of ghetto liquor stores, so never discount their wisdom.
.
*Never confuse credentials and the sign on a person's door with intelligence.
.
*Never assume that an academic receipt for knowledge is valid.
.
*Before you point your finger at someone else, always smell it first.

*Wit without wisdom is a waste.
.
*Man's innate thirst for knowledge will someday overwhelm his passionate lust for stupidity, so remain optimistic.
.
*Show me a man who believes that Moses parted the Red Sea, and I'll show you a man whose grip on reality can't be relied upon, so season the words of ALL fanatics with a box of salt.
.
*There's no such thing as a walkin' dead man or a talkin' snake.
.
*More often than not, the happiest moments in your life didn't cost you a dime, so remember that while seeking wealth and fame.
.
*Every experience is a source of knowledge, so having to endure adversity makes you more, rather than less.
.
*You should take great pride in being the product of adversity, because your mere survival provides you with unassailable credentials, and it adds lyrics to your song.
.
*If one can’t find happiness in poverty, wealth will prove to be an ineffective mentor.
.
*We say that we’re Black and we’re proud, but for far too many of us, that's only until we escape the adversity of being Black.
.
*We must buy a license to marry, but we're free to hate with impunity. Consider that.
.
*Always follow truth, regardless to where it leads, or whose ox it gores.
.
*A personal observation: Older women aren't quite as frisky as young ones, but at least I have someone to talk to when I'm done.
.
*Another personal observation: Older women are capable of stimulating the mind as well as the body, so always celebrate your growing maturity.
.
*The perfect woman: One who only tells me to go to Hell half the time.
.
*A personal epiphany: A man knows he's aging when he's got the hots for the lady in the Depends commercial.
