why can't you do that? because you're black. none of those things made sense to me. so it was my mind. once i was able to get my mind and bring it under captivity and believe that i could, everything else fell in place. whatever your situation is i don't care how many kids are watching right now, i was there where you are. i was there with the bologna sandwiches trying to get butter and the rice together to have dinner. i know what that's like. so to have that and know that there is a vision, and sometimes you have to take your dream and hide it in your coat, close to your heart so that the people around you don't tear it apart. so have your dream, hold on to it and just as magic said, you have to work at it. sacrifice. i'm still sacrificing to this day. i've laid so much aside just so that the work could be there and that's why if we cannot only be successful, but carry so many others with us, you know, the hundreds of people that work for me. i have their dreams and their children's dreams and their -- all of that on their backs, i'm carrying it with them.
