I love how these types tell you to just "overcome" as if to normalize societal obstacles we deal with nowadays.

Ppl will make it, but, most are food to the system and bound to fail.

You can't tell anyone that because you'd be "hating" because this is "deep."

Hope is the oldest drug to those who fail to understand their surroundings

Once you learn, and accept, the world you're in, you can then master it. Once you master it, you can manipulate it to your benefit

BUT, failure is important to succeeding IF you notice WHY you failed, and willing to change for the better

You also DON'T have to learn from your own failures, you can learn by watching others fail, and figure out where they went wrong. In fact, this is the best, and fastest way, to learn!

Learning to become comfortable with being uncomfortable is another one of these little snacks for thought that I see these celeb types throw around that really is a jewel and is really good advice. Cold showers is a good way to start incorporating that mindset into your life.

yes those women (and men) that failed at finessing a role in a movie via sexual favors, should learn from their mistakes and move on. instead they all fightin for that same metoo lime light.
all that advice doesn't apply to succeeding in hollywood though.

:wow:Been sticking to the code since kids used to pick on me because of my stuttering problem in grade school.

Had a lisp during my high school years(Still do but it really only comes out if I'm fatigued) Was absolute hell mentally at times with the bullying that resulted from it TBH. Speech impediments can make you feel like you're a prisoner of yourself. Props to you for getting past it

It helps when you actually put them dudes on blast who try to throw stones. For instance, in 6th grade these two dudes used to clown me because I would stutter a lot when I had to speak in front of the class. So one day I was annoyed as hell and just shouted out "WILL YALL STOP IT" "I can't help the fact that I speak a certain way" and so forth. The class got wild quiet and then some dudes were laughing, I told them to stop laughing:mjlol:. To that very day, the dudes were cool bean with me along with additional help from one of my teachers as he pulled me to the side and said breathe, think about what you going to say, and then say it. I took his advice ever since:obama:.

Sure there are times where it's a bytch to say stuff because of my impediment, but I feel I came a long way from how I used to be. Never let them win regardless of your personal ills. As my English teacher used to say "they may laugh at you now, but you will one day have the last laugh".

what societal obstacles are you talking about?

You're food only if you make yourself to be.

Thats like a hoe saying "if it wasnt for these pimps out here making money off us we would be successful"
The hoe left out all the steps it took for her to get in that fukked up situation.
