“The entrepreneur is our visionary, the creator in each of us.  We’re born with that quality and it defines our lives as we respond to what we see, hear, feel, and experience.  It is developed, nurtured, and given space to flourish or is squelched, thwarted, without air or stimulation, and dies.”

Doing some random afternoon reading, I came across this great  Q&A  by fellow thinker Alfred North Whitehead…

Q. What is morality in any given time or place?

A. It is what the majority then and there happen to like, and immorality is what they dislike.

Now be sure to tread lightly with this one my fellow thinkers…because this is just the type of thinking that can surely flip one’s belief system upside down!!!

“If we teach today as we were taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.”

When Will Smith made the leap into having his own sitcom at the height of his rap popularity, the gamble paid off for Hollywood’s current leading man, as fans were able to accept the Fresh Prince in a new arena. When Eddie Murphy, at arguably the height of his acting career hit the world with his singing on “Party All The Time,” heads weren’t exactly hailing Murphy as the next pop sensation. Point being, it takes a lot for the public to see celebrities in a different light. Kanye West is undoubtedly well aware of it, and most likely doesn’t care whatsoever.

The 808’s & Heartbreak savant has earned his stripes in the music game, but now with help from author J. Sakiya Sandifer, decided to throw his hat into the literary world. More inspiring bits and pieces than “War and Peace,” West and Sandifer’s Thank You And You’re Welcome is an attempt to impart some of the truths that the MC/producer has used in his own life. In a candid chat with XXLMag.com, Kanye along with Sandifer breaks down why the book is so ill, why Ye refuses to swap verses with artists and how he’s using this format to become a better person.
