@WhitneyChanell Not disagreeing with this and I hate the fact that he used Tupac’s voice, but why do people try so hard to disregard the fact that Drake has a black dad from Memphis? Also, Kendrick dissed him first. Would Drake be doing all this if Kendrick didn’t mention him in that song?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but you can’t use your personal experience to make a generalization. Neither can you try to debunk a general trend by using your personal experience as an argument. Provide data or tell your story and go.

I used to think all that young people needed to have successful businesses is capital and skills. I’m now realizing that the most critical thing is discipline. Without it the capital will be lost. Without it skills will be misused. Discipline breeds sacrifice and commitment.

Advice: When asking someone for help, tell them what you’ve been able to do without their help. It’ll make them feel like they’re supporting a process that has started, not a problem that has been presented to them. It’ll make you look like you’re coming from a place of strength.
