The Family Business.........smh!!!!

"Family Business".........2 words that don't go together in my book.

You see, to me "Family" is supposed to revolve around Love, Trust, Understanding and Loyalty.
These things can never be a part of "Business" because a business calls for you to be Ruthless, Selfish and for you to do anything you have to do in order for your "Business" to succeed.


Now when you go ahead and start mixing the 2, this is where things become interesting.....


Nothing good can become of a "Family Business".... because when EGO comes into play, (as it always does in a business) and certain things are asked of you to do that effect how you are treated as a member of a Family, it changes your way of thinking. Someone has to be "The Boss" and when the so called "Head of the Family" is put into that position and can't handle it or they go about running the business Wong, it trickles down to the rest of the family and has a negative outcome for all those involved.

I'm not gonna get too DEEP into this, because this can be a little sensitive to some and some may not be ready for the "Realness".....


I'll just leave you with this quote from Colin Powell: "Don't let your Ego get too close to your position, so that if your position gets shot down, your Ego doesn't go with it."



as "Robert" becomes the man that "Robert" is supposed to be, I can only hope that what i do it not in vain and leads me to something greater!........Because at the end of the day we all STRIVE TO BE MORE than OURSELVES!!!!

You must think i'm Stupid, Cupid!!

You must think i'm stupid Cupid!

You must think i'm gonna fall for your tricks again, but i have caught on to your tricks.
The last time we met i was young and didn't know your game, but i'm on to you nigga! The nerve of you putting "LOVE" into my life and then taking it away like you did.

You must think i'm stupid Cupid!

So, you are no longer invited into my HEART. The fat lady has sung, the game is over and if i ever see you anywhere near me again i will chop your damn wings off and use the feathers for a pillow. This is not to say that i will never find love again, it's just better if i do it on my own...

"Peace to a Puzzle"......

I have come to realize that most of "US" men, aren't born knowing how to make relationships work. And more often than not, we learn from our Fathers example or lack of....

I know that i want to learn about how make relationships work, but don't know where to start. I being like most men HATE to ask for help in general, let alone Relationship advice. Knowing that since our culture encourages the mistaken belief that we ought to be able to figure out things on our own and me growing as a man i find myself looking for advice now, more often then usual!


I see Relationships as Puzzles....

Each action we take in the relationship earns us piece to that puzzle and we all want our Puzzle to be completed. Women often have the smaller more detailed pieces to the puzzle that we often leave for last and men usual have the big, easy to locate pieces that we want to get out the way.

I say that because Most of Us Men usually try to find easy ways out when it comes to problems or issues that come up in the relationship and Women most often take a more complex approach to these situations. I know that Making a Relationship work aka "Completing The Puzzle" is not easy, but i look forward to the Challenge, every time it is brought to me....

I know understanding who "Robert" is can be a hassle and i thank you for your patience, because it's hard for me to understand myself at times!


Deuces!!
