I believe we all need to have a final destination. Several of them. Visions that we want to see manifest so much that anything that doesn't coincide with that is automatically filtered out. Do you want to be married with children and have four or five homes? Do you want to be the best manager Best Buy has ever seen? Do you want to be President? Just choose. If you say you don't know what you want then you're either lying or speaking from fear.

It was drummed into my head that college is the ticket to a good life... but some career goals don't require college. For Kanye to make an album called College Dropout it was more about having the guts to embrace who you are, rather than following the path society has carved out for you.

Say there's a white kid who lives in a nice home, goes to an all-white school, and is pretty much having everything handed to him on a platter - for him to pick up a rap tape is incredible to me, because what that's saying is that he's living a fantasy life of rebellion.

If you treat an individual as he is, he will remain how he is. But if you treat him as if he were what he ought to be and could be, he will become what he ought to be and could be.

―- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
If we take man as he really is, we make him worse. But if we overestimate him, if we take him as he should be, we make him capable of becoming what he can be.

-- Viktor Frankl
