Dude wants to have it both ways

Like Dinero said in Heat, it you want to make moves on the street you can’t have any attachments

Gotta go hard for his dream or learn to live with regrets

Corey has some type of anxiety or psychological issue, he's really talented but he's doesn't seem to be cut out for the music business.
Haven't seen him in a min, looks different to when I last checked for him

Young heads need to be able to relive an epic era in history and hear guns go blam



Things are different now, knowing that when he said "And I'm into HIGH YELLOW CHICKS" on his first Smack freestyle he probably went home, got smacked in the face, something random from the kitchen thrown at him, and banished to the couch.

Kids are dumb and don't know the realities of careers, even if you told them they wouldn't know. you're way on the extreme end of naivety thinking some kid with plans of being a heart surgeon is serious. do you think some 10 year old has some nuanced understanding of all medical fields and came to an educated conclusion or did he or she just read a list of salaries and picked what's at the top? I'm literally just restating my last post here. doctor, lawyer, banker, etc. these are all high paying careers for mostly passionless people. I would be wary of 17 year olds feigning interest in these fields (or maybe they're not faking but at least self-deluding) and you're cosigning a 10 year old?

It's sad as hell these days you see teens from bumfukk Kansas who just got into Harvard posting on reddit asking how they should best prepare to work at Goldman Sachs after graduating. it's not sad to you that smart kids from all backgrounds join the herd mentality of gunning for {Wall Street, Google, med school}? and you'd take it further and encourage 10 year olds to join in? these "high work ethic but zero substantial goals and interests" kids who let the internet decide their lives have wildly varying outcomes, some just burn out entirely which almost never happens to kids who really love physics or something, they always land near the top. my money's on the math geek every single time not the striver kid with plans

software you can at least do yourself in your room and see if you're really interested, you can't test your stomach for surgery until you cut people open, you can read books all day then find out that shyt's not your style, then what?

all that early tracking stuff is passe as fukk now. well off / educated families would much rather see their kids take a deep interest in math or literature than steer them early towards careers and count chickens before they hatch.

yeah ofc people don't achieve their wildest dreams, that's why you should focus on what's in front of you. Is that controversial to you that being the very best at where you're at right now is a worthier goal than dreaming about your 2nd contract in the NBA when you'll team up with Giannis or something? you're not even making substantial points against mine you're just saying ok but you can't downplay kids' dreams. do whatever you want for whoever you care about, what difference does my opinion make?
I didn't see you're earlier posts that offended everyone.. but I can see the point you're making because if a young boy said "I want to be a rapper" most parents would tell them it's not realistic or how much talent, work ethic and stomach for the business they would have to have. I think you're saying something similar here.

However I wouldn't discourage any child from any positive goal they set because it can lead them to not believe they can achieve other things and lack of confidence leaks into all areas of life.

My child will be training as an apprentice in a skill/trade at a very young age so that no matter what their ultimate goal is, they have a way to make money without ever having to work at McDonald's or for minimum wage while they figure life out.

One thing I would do if my child wanted to ultimately become a lawyer, doctor, engineer I would be helping her/him read ALOT of books, learning command of English language at a high level and then exposing her to programs or people in that field to witness the job first hand.

Like you said certain professions demand a psychopathic work ethic, ambition and discipline, which needs to be developed at a young age for an American black person.

For some reason people think medicine is man's highest calling or some shyt like it's not just an unpleasant but high-paying career just like law or finance

If a kid said he wants to be a corporate drone doing paperwork for mergers and acquisitions you'd be like wtf? Have a childhood and get a well-rounded education, then maybe at 21-ish with an internship under your belt make that decision

But doctor? Nah that's like saying you want to be a saint, scholar, fireman, friend to animals and president of the United States you just have to hit the :krs: and respect it

Most people are followers, so they gravitate towards whatever earns the most social praise/acceptance. Which is why most black people will praise you if you get s job but not if you start a business...until it's thriving and then everyone jumps on the bandwagon

You dont micromanage in these type of situations...
If you see your 6 year old sleeping with his basketball every night, you set that kid up in every way possible to get him in the realm of basketball...

There are certain "it" factors that a child can have..
You as a parent set up the foundation to maximize that child's ability...If your child is doing something positive, you invest in it and see where it leads to..
If the child develops a change of heart so be it..

we talking about a pre teen child:dahell:

Black kids get knocked down enough already...

Calling kids dumb in any context is uncalled for..

You're saying everything I said. And as I said I didn't see his earlier posts but I understand a piece of his message.

If your 10 year old comes to you talking about he want to be a rapper as a career 99% of you are not going to show the same support you would if he said he wanted to be a doctor. And y'all can ignore that if you want too but I know it's true.
