WHY You Shouldn't Let Arrogance Get to Your Head
Boys
There’s a guy in NEW MONEY named Lamek right
And the reason why Lamek is one of my favorite guys in NEW MONEY is because
He just LISTENS to advice
He doesn’t question it
He doesn’t sit there and think “Why should I do this?”
He sits there and thinks:
“Okay this person is more successful than me, let me just listen to him.”
He doesn’t overcomplicate shit
So I remember about six months ago I was telling everyone:
“Do this typing course.
Learn how to type quickly.
It’s like one of the best things that ever happened to me in my life.
It’s a big part of the reason why I’m successful because I’m very quick at typing.
It’s helped me out a lot on life. Blah blah blah”
And I remember he actually did the full course, and now his typing speed has doubled
He used to be like on 45 words per minute and now he’s on like 90
Which is a BIG BIG difference
(Right?)
And there’s a million different examples he’s done such as that
For example get into sales
Now he’s got a sales opportunity with me
With one of the things I sell
So the point I’m making is
He just does what he’s supposed to do
He just listens
He doesn’t question things and overcomplicate things
He just DOES IT
BIG G LAMEK
And everyone else is trying to be too smart
They’re like “Ah why should I do this”
“Is this the best use of my time”
When you’re BROKE,
EVERYTHING IS THE BEST USE OF YOUR TIME
BECAUSE you’re fucking broke
Your time isn’t worth shit
Right?
People say “Time is money”
Yeah, time IS money
But when your broke—your time ain’t worth shit
Your time ain’t worth fucking anything
Just DO THINGS
JUST. LISTEN.
Just listen to people who are more successful than you giving you advice
So I guess the lesson of the day is be more like Lamek
When someone more successful than you tells you something
Just do it.
What’s the worst-case scenario?
Obviously, if someone says “Jump off a cliff”, don’t jump off a cliff
But if someone is telling you something that is advice that CAN’T be bad
That it doesn’t seem negative in any way
Just do it
Don’t overthink.
Just try it.
