Be anything you want in life... But PLEASE! (It's a Business Lesson)

In this life time, there are a very few things that you will truly own.

Among those are your reputation and your thoughts.

That said:

There's only two things in life
that you don't want  your reputation to be
or for others to think that you are.

Ready?

#1.  A Dick.

Just trust me.  If your reputation is that of a Dick, just move to another place
Change professions
and start all over...
and please
don't be a Dick.

If you ever say to yourself,  "I'm such a Dick."  

Guess what?  
If you think it, everyone else knows it.
You're a Dick.  

and again, please... 

don't be a Dick.

Next thing you don't want to be...

#2.  A Pussy.

If people call you a Pussy, or you think you are Pussy,

you shouldn't be reading my shit.

Luckily, in this case, you don't need to move...

You just have to change... Professions.

-Sex, Religion, Race, Planet, Balls all aside-  

Love is Love.

Life is life.

Business is business.

A Dick is a Dick.

Don't be one.

A Pussy is a Pussy.

Don't be one.

The bottom line is this:

What you are is Rational.
What people think you are is Emotional.

If you're a Pussy, you won't climb the hill.
If you're a Dick... No one will help you up.



Here's a hint.

Keep your reputation clean.
Keep your thoughts to yourself.


Good Luck,
Cheers!

Having Balls.

That’s right, I said it.… Balls. 

And yes, women have balls too.  So when I say having Balls, it goes for everyone. Balls is no more, no less than a very strong, emotional energy within, that only YOU, have the power to control.  This energy can be emitted from or suppress in, your body.  And like any other source of energy, Balls have to be controlled.

Balls is what join and separate everything… Allow me to explain Balls as seen through the eyes of the Villain and Rogue.

Firstly.  Balls is not stepping up and spouting off.  At times it can be, but to a Villain, a Rogue, that’s just a simple lack of self-control and not sexy at all.  As I said earlier Balls is a strong, emotional energy.  Now imagine that you learned how to focus that emotional energy.  Let me just tell you Good Ball Control is priceless… and very, very sexy.

Your Balls usually show when it's time to step: 

1. Step up. This one is the easiest.  You simply have to have Balls to move ahead in life.  
2. Step aside.  This one is not as easy.  Having the Balls to step aside takes practice.  Look at it this way, when you see someone coming at you hard, I mean Balls out.  The best thing to do is step aside and let them pass.  Most people who go Balls out are not in control. Which is often not good for whomever is in the way.
3. Step back.  The Balls to step back unfortunately is often preceded by an emotional downer.  Having the Balls to step back means that you have to take the high road in whatever the situation may be.
4. Step away.  This one is the toughest and takes more Balls than you will use to step up.  See, stepping away has to be done sometimes.  Say you've stuck with something, someone, some place too long.  Physically and emotionally you are connected to it but you know this thing is no longer good for you.  There's no growth potential. There's no return on your investment.  You have to have Brass Balls to truly step away from something negative that you are bound to. You have to have the Balls to leave, you also have to have the Balls to start over.  Unfortunately, most people don't have Brass Balls.  Most people will stay in a messed up place and try to fix what's broken.  

(Villains & Rogues #149 : Once it's broken… it's broken.   Even if you fix it. It's still broken)

How you use your Balls will determine everything you do, every step you take and of course the outcome of everything.  Uncontrolled Ball Emission (UBE) is bad. It's a waste of time and energy, a loss of growth and power, it's "Punking" yourself.  We've all done it.  The goal is to never do it again.

Good Ball Control (GBC) means you’ll be seen as professional and a master of self. The only thing that can make Good Ball Control spin out is the Ego… And that’s a big deal.  The Ego is a motherfucker to deal with.  The Ego is a child, a three and a half year old, screaming and kicking.  The Ego wants what it wants, period.  It wasn’t until I had children myself, that I truly understood that.  You MUST control the Ego… If you're asking how, it’s likely because you don’t have kids. 

To control the Ego, you have to realize that it's your inner child.  You have to love it, nurture it, respect it, play with it and NOT let it run your life.  Every parent knows what I’m saying.  Once you have that in check… Trust it.  Let your Ego take control of your Balls.  

To be a real pro, keep your Balls in check.  After all, no one truly wants to see your ______ Balls.  (Every joke you are making right now really does apply.)  More important, you really don't want to show your ______ Balls to everyone anyway.  That just takes you all the way back to having no self-control, thereby, having no Balls. (Therein lies the rub…) 

You control your Ego, your Ego controls your Balls.  You win.  

The equation goes like this.  Balls = You over your Ego.

You’ll be impressed when you see how fast you rise to any occasion, how fast you climb any ladder and how many people will help you… because they believe that whatever it is… you’ve got the Balls to do it.

All that said, Balls is still just a part of the picture.  It's a good sized part but still not the whole picture.  Next time I'll take a look at working "Smarter" not "Harder".  Which requires having the Balls... to know the difference.


Boss
Villains and Rogues

Keeping your cool... as best as possible anyway.

Every now and again, it's going to happen.  You run into that person who (for whatever reason) thinks the backwards ass opinion they hold, is the truth of all truths and way the world should be.  Even worse, this person feels the need to drill (said backwards ass opinion) into your head.


Long story short... I ran into this person last night.

The whole story is simply not worth repeating, doing so would only breathe new life into this man's meaningless.  I will say this, he did sincerely insult very dear and innocent friends of ours and their children.  Which is out of bounds, regardless what game you play.


It began with a simple bad joke, which for some reason, this person felt the need to explain (already the wrong thing to do). His explanation only made things worse and raised the tempers of most everyone in the room.  After several minutes and several people yelling at him to shut the fuck up, he stood up aggressively and yelled "I'm a man!" To which I replied, "No, you're a fucking idiot."

Things could have and maybe should have escalated from there... If I were and idiot too.  But I kept my cool, as any good Villain or Rogue would. 
(see: Bad Man101)

Imagine what we have to lose by losing our cool...

And for what?  Some self righteous shit, who's name does not matter, a lost soul whose mere proximity brings unwanted weight upon your life, an anchor, just waiting to bring you down.

No, the Idiot was just a test.  A simple one at that.  Here's how you pass the test:

Know the value of your life.
Know the value of your work.
Realize the amount of time and energy it took for you to rise to this level.  
Realize the number of good people who depend on you.
Know that you love and are loved.
Don't back down, but don't push the situation. 
Look the antagonist in the eye and point your index finger at the door. (Say nothing.)

No matter how much they yell or how much hell they raise... Never strike them.

Keep your cool... as best as possible anyway.  

Simply give an idiot enough rope... They will, eventually, hang themselves.

Idiots think they are better than others.  The truth is that we are all the same.  It's our integrity, our values, our true self-worth and our faith in mankind mixed with those who share the same ideals and ethics and values that make us, the people of all ethnicities,  religions, geographical locales, and of all sexes and ages... Great.  Together, we can accomplish anything.

Lastly, this man considered himself right and heroic...

He made me proud to consider myself a Villain and a Rogue.
