Speak Positive Energy And Kinetics

Too Often people are so focused on themselves and their own progress that they forget society is not only about helpings oneself to success… but to help each other Progress. People commit negative actions because “everyone else does it” and they feel this justify theirs. Hypocriticism, Selfishness and other bad habits need to be something we strive to eliminate from our behavior and while we may never truly accomplish this goal… we must Try.

Our goal with Beasthood is to use our Words and Actions to help others know that there is a reason to be better, that someone does appreciate it and that someone WILL assist you on your journey. All Men, Women, Children, Races and Ages is who I aim to help become better while we progress on our Journey to do the same in our own Lives.

We don’t just talk the talk… We S.P.E.A.K.

F.O.E. to Success: Fame or Education?

FOEtoSuccess[1]
     
 
This question disturbs me on so many levels, Especially since I am included in the generation where it seems to have started. On a regular basis I've noticed people wanting the "American Dream" of fame and fortune yet have NO desire to educate themselves.
 
How did the idea that you can get what you want the "easy" way get embedded into our culture? This mindset would be laughable if it weren't so depressing that it was true. I mean seriously, what type of epic parenting and societal failures have we endured that you must choose between the two? There is NO EASY WAY to success. It takes perseverance and knowledge to be productive. Even if you aren’t technically "smart" by school standards, you still must have a comprehension of what is and has always been, to ensure you do not make the same pitfalls as those before you.


The top 5% of Richest People in the US that run this country have NEVER chosen between these two aforementioned. They had enough self awareness and/or guidance to know they are NOT mutually exclusive by any means. Whether it be higher learning, home schooling, or real world experience... Learn Something and Be Successful. If by now you haven't gotten the full meaning behind the Tortoise and the Hare it's: Stop trying to take the fast lane, you're going burn yourself out sprinting while the marathon runners pass you by. Take your time. Build a strong foundation based on education and layer your fame upon it, so that it lasts. In the words of T.I. “life is about who makes it, not who makes it the fastest, Drive Slow Homie”… Actually in light of his newest “Situation” scratch that, Let me make my own....
 
Racing to the Top is an Admirable feat to Accomplish, but do you have enough Knowledge to STAY there?
