My mentee (12 year old) recently asked me for words to live by. I asked him if he wanted rap lyrics or book knowledge. He said book knowledge. I told him the below and I believe it with all my heart.
"Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." - Proverbs 27:17 (no religion) (this is basically keep it real said more eloquently.)
"Make mistakes of ambition, not of sloth." - Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince (no 2Pac) (get rich or die trying, everyday I'm hustling, let's get it, yolo)
