Speaker 1 (00:00):
So ten truths of a week. Man, I'm always for
us men stepping up. So this is not to degrade men.
That's not what I do. I try to motivate men
by saying, hey, if you're in this position, if you're
in one of these ten positions, probably you should think
(00:21):
about getting out of these positions. If you were worried
about why your selection of women may not be what
you feel it is or what you think it should be,
why is that right? Sometimes we have to look introspective
into ourselves and find out, am I the weak link here?
(00:42):
And there's nothing wrong as a man with admitting that
to yourself, because once you take on the responsibility of
a family, of a woman, leading and providing for her,
and now the focus shifts. Right, we know society doesn't
really care about the feeling of men. You can't convince
me otherwise. Right, We're expected to shut up in color,
(01:05):
We're expected to not show emotions like that. We're expected
to be steady, consistent, dependable. Nobody wants to hear our problems.
We share our problems with our friends, but at the
end of the day is just to have somebody to
vent to, just so we can all right, I got
that out of my system. Now it's time to move on.
It's time to keep going. Okay, so here we go.
(01:26):
Let me go ahead and start off. Ten truths of
a weak man. Number one. A weak man is a
slave to pleasure. He can't resist temptation. He sees cleavage
(01:51):
and lose his focus. Horn weed, alcohol and cheap thrills
own his mind. He's not addicted to pleasure, Sure, he's
allergic to control, and that's why he keeps failing. Okay,
we shouldn't be slaves to pleasure. We are visual, we
do like things that make us look good, but it
(02:11):
should not control us. That's when we start getting into
some of these these cases. These they speak on control. Right,
we should always be in control. I don't smoke, I
don't drink. I'm not perfect, but that's just a choice
that I made. And people ask me all the time,
like why don't you? My question to you is why
(02:33):
do you Why do you smoke? Why do you drink? Oh,
it's just you know, to break from reality. What are
you running from? What are you trying to avoid? Right,
you're not in control. If you're drunk, you're not control.
If you're high, I'm guilty as charged. I want to
(02:54):
try drugs, but I'm not going to, so don't ban me, right,
I'm not. We say no to drugs, but I look
at it and I'm like, what the power of a
drug that makes someone sell everything that they have commit
some you know, some things that just should not be
(03:15):
happening to us as people. You see someone who's drunk.
I'm not talking about buzz, I'm talking about someone who's drunk.
I saw a picture on Facebook. I don't know whether
the caption is true or not, but it was a
man and it said the man was drunk. He's sleeping
on the ground. Sleeping on top of him is his
young son. He's probably six or seven years old. And
(03:38):
they're saying that the sun was so dedicated to his
dad that he didn't want to leave him. So they're
sleeping in the middle of some street. It's not even
a street, it's like a dirt road. But he has
a son that's sleeping on top of him, and they're
saying he's drunk. If this caption is true, this is
where we're failing as men. There's no control there. And
(04:00):
if you don't think that that is going to be
passed down to the next generation. You're out of your mind.
Children are very receptive. They pay attention to a lot.
We should always be in control. We should be in
control of our actions, of our emotions, of our impulses.
We have ways as human beings to get those releases out.
(04:21):
It should be in a safe way where no one
else gets harmed. Don't be a weak man that is
seeking only pleasure, not only pleasure. Then't say that you
can't seek it. It's how you seek it. Should always
be in control. Don't seek those those easy pleasures, taking
a bottle to your head, smoking all the time, giving
(04:44):
them the temptation. Right, we'll get into there's nothing wrong
with seeing a nice woman. She looks really nice, he's
really sexy, Okay, Right, If you make an attempt to
get to know her, get to know her, get to
you know, you want to get her information, you want
to get her number of some sort, and she says no,
you then move on. Men, we don't get upset from rejection.
(05:10):
We've been rejected. You're going to continue to be rejected
in personal life and professional life. You just have to
accept that wasn't Maybe that wasn't for you. You're not
built for her. She's not built for you. We don't
then start to call her names, you know, engage in
a back and forth and argument. We definitely don't start
(05:30):
putting our hands and get physical. We definitely don't do
that type of stuff, right. We don't give into those
easy pleasures. We see nothing wrong with looking and move on.
We got bigger fish to fry. Okay, number two. A
weak man talks too damn much. Two damn much. He
(05:52):
reveals his every move. He wants to sound smart, so
he spills secrets, he complains, he gossips. Real power doesn't
announce itself. Strong men let results speak, not themselves. This
goes back to the loudest one in the room is
usually the weakest one in the room. As a man,
(06:13):
you should be controlled, observative, offer information as it may be,
asks or as required. We should not be the one talking.
I made a video one time that says, hey, when
you go out on a date, the woman should do
the most talking. Women like to talk. That's not a
bad thing, that's just something they like to talk. You
(06:35):
should be doing the listening. You know how many simps
I got called? You know how I was called weak
as a man, just for saying, listen to her, because
what happened is they didn't watch the video. They thought
I meant do what she says at all times, and
the video was just saying let her talk. Listen, Listen
(06:57):
to what she's going to tell you. Listen to those clues.
They will tell you what makes them tick, what makes
them see red flags. Right, we want to avoid the
red flags, and you may see some red flags. We
got too many men just talking too much, talking too much. Now,
(07:25):
I could be guilty of this as a content creator,
saying too much about kind of what's going on with
me and the progress of my channel. Right, I'm a
person that believes and I like stuff to happen and
then talk about it afterwards. So I'm guilty of that
as well. I can be. I could be. That's something
that I've recognized. I've talked to, you know, my brother
(07:46):
about that. One thing I don't do is I don't
spill secrets. I don't complain. I don't complain because no
one wants to hear me complain. People say that, well,
you know, if you're an issue, you know, tell me now,
you don't want to hear that. You don't because once
(08:06):
I start complaining once I bring everything that is wrong
to you, what does that make me sound like? That
makes me sound like a grown adult? Right? That makes
me sound like a complainer, Like you need to you
need to figure it out. Nobody, no one else is
gonna do that. We let results speak, So when people
(08:32):
talk about who's the greatest of all time, you shouldn't
be calling yourself that. You should be putting in the
work and you let others sing your praises. That's the
ultimate success for men. Others sing your praises, others speak
for you. So now you don't even have to announce
(08:54):
it anymore because they already know like they've they've they've supported,
they like what you're doing, and they know how much
hard work you put in, so they're going to sing
your praises for you. And what do you do? You
just continue to work. You continue to get better, because
we can always get better. We peak, and then we're
on a decline trying to get back to our peak
(09:16):
until we just have no more time. Number three. A
weak man puts women above his purpose. He spends all
day texting babes, buying gifts, and begging for attention, but
kings don't chase queens. They build empires, and when the
throne is strong, the right queen shows up. If this
(09:39):
is If there is anything that me Felix Black, the
mayor of the Purple Pill Assembly, wants people to understand
about me, is that I believe this point ten thousand
percent plus one. Again in number three, A weak man
(10:02):
puts women above his purpose. He spends all day texting babes,
buying gifts, begging for attention. Kings don't chase queens, They
build empires, and when the throne is strong, the right
queen shows up. I'm always a proponent of men. Handle
(10:24):
your goddamn business. Do what you're supposed to be doing,
whatever that is, whatever your level of success is. Right,
just understand you're going to attract what your level of
success attracts. Right. We can't date up. This is not
(10:45):
gonna happen. If you want those that are high in
the sky, you need to you need to work to
get that high. Women notice stuff like that. I always say,
you don't have to chase when you're solid, When what
you're doing is solid, your aura will speak to that,
(11:06):
your confidence will speak to that. She will pick up
on that. I think too many times we get caught
up in labels. We want to wear Louise, we want
to wear Gucci, we want to drive nice cars. You
don't have to do that. You don't have to You're
gonna attract the energy you put out. So if you
put out I got money and I'm spent, I'm ready
(11:28):
to spend it. Of course a woman wants that. So
you're gonna get the women that want you to spend
that on them in a different way. Because if you're
buying Louis, if you're buying Gucci, then she's gonna expect
that for herself. If you're more subtle, if you're more
(11:48):
consistent in building wealth and generational wealth, you're gonna attract
a woman that is into that. You're also gonna attract
those that you know want that money spent on them.
But your discipline says that's not not gonna work. We
have two different mind frames. We don't chase, we get chased,
meaning I know women hate to hear you know I'm
(12:10):
not chasing the man. But you are though, But you
are though. It's called showing attention, it's called showing interest.
We're not saying you're chasing behind them. You're doing everything
you need to be doing to convince him that you
should be that he should be with you. That's not
what I'm saying. I'm saying, you see a man who
is attractive to you, you want to be a part
(12:34):
of his empire. So you make yourself available to him,
and you let him know that I'm available to you.
I would like to be a part of what you
have going on. That's what we called that's what we
call chasing. It's cool to be grabbed in a woman
(12:55):
saying hey, I want you like your mind. It's cool,
it works our eg go, But is that really something
that we want long term? Not? Usually not. Usually there's
a way to show that interest. But this is probably
one of my favorite. A weak man puts women above
(13:15):
his purpose. You should be fulfilling your purpose before you
look for a woman, before you start families. It's harder
to continue finding your purpose once you have all of
that to consider. So we should be at a level
of empire. This is my empire. I'm happy with it. Okay,
(13:36):
Now I can accept others into it because it's functional,
it's strong, it's working, and I'm gonna make sure it
continues to work. Number four. A weak man lives for
likes and applause. He posts to impress, he acts to please.
He's a slave to public opinion. But real men don't validation.
(14:01):
They walk into rooms and shift energy without saying a word. Security, security,
and confidence. Aura. I'm really big on presence and aura.
You have to have that, even if you don't have
game to like speak and you know those pickup lines
(14:23):
and the charisma. If you have an aura of just
I'm confident in who I am, I'm solid, I'm stable.
That comes across if you come in. You know, I'm
not against people being comedic and silly, but to me,
that just comes off a different way. You may look
at me and say you're too serious, you don't have
(14:45):
any fun. I do have fun. But again, not everybody
should be privy to everything. People who know me personally
have seen a different side of me, and they will
because I've invited them into that space. If you haven't,
to me, earned that, you're not gonna get that. We
(15:07):
shouldn't give everybody everything. We don't need validation. That's why
I've always said I struggle with words of affirmation. I
struggle giving it because I don't need it, and I
don't seek it. I give my own I give myself
words of affirmation. So, yes, that is something I have
(15:31):
to work on because there are other people that like that.
They like the affirmation. I've always said it. To me,
it feels like a little bit of insecurity. I could
be wrong. I'm probably wrong, but that's how it feels
to me. So I struggle with that just because I
don't need it, and that's not fair to someone else.
(15:51):
It's not fair that I can't give that because I
don't need it. That's just how that's just how I am,
and I recognize that. That's something that I try to
work on. So it's gonna take patience to know that. Okay,
he you know, he's not that that person that says
it directly and maybe by what I do, and maybe
(16:13):
you know by what I say that's not directly a
compliment or giving you security. Sometimes you have to dig
through layers of people because we're different, right. It takes
a little bit of adjustment. But no, we don't. We don't.
(16:33):
We don't worry about the public opinion. It is what
it is. I don't give a shit what you think
about me. I don't I say what I say, and
I'm gonna stand on that because I think that that's
one of the things that we have to consider. Just
as men. We have to think before we speak. And
(16:56):
if you're talking to damn much like number two, you're
just gonna say stuff, you have to think a little bit.
You have to be cognizant of the things that you're
putting out into the atmosphere. Number five. A weak man
wants life on easy mode. He avoids hard work, he
(17:16):
wants shortcuts, not strategy. He fears discipline, so he remains average,
but growth never comes without pain. Strong men respect the
process even when it's hell. I want an easy life,
but it hasn't been that way. I shared with you
guys twenty five years of ups and downs and making
(17:39):
it out on the other side. But yeah, you know,
I want life to be easy, but it's not. So
I have to deal with what I have to deal with.
So I can say I'm guilty of wanting an easy life,
but I've always pushed through the tough parts of life.
I like strategy. I'm disciplined, not as disciplined as I
(18:02):
probably should be. I can ratchet up my discipline more
going to the gym. Five days a week. Right, I
can ratchet up my discipline more. I have room to work.
I have that room to work. We all have something
that we can work on. So when we present ourselves,
(18:22):
we are the best version of ourselves. But we should
not look for the easy out. We should want to
work for what we want. Man, we should want to
work for it, because when you get there, when you
build that empire, can nobody tell you shit? Nothing. So
you may come off as an asshole. You may come
(18:44):
off as a jerk, you may come off arrogant, but
I know what I'm capable of. You don't know what
I've been through to get to this point. You don't
know where I came from. Maybe if you understood the story,
you could say, Okay, I understand it. You may not
like my attitude, but it's this way for a reason.
(19:05):
And if it's worked most of my life, my entire life,
why would I change that. You gotta meet me at
the top. You gotta meet me where I am. I can't.
I can't then change who I am. You know, to
come down to your level. No, I'm not gonna do that.
You meet me at the top if you're already here, excellent,
(19:30):
But you gotta meet me at the top number six.
A weak man lacks consistency. He starts one hundred things
and finishes none. He can't stick to a goal, a habit,
or a plan. His life is a broken cycle of laziness, excuses,
and self pity. The world rewards the consistent, not the confused. Consistency.
(19:56):
You don't like my attitude, but it won't change one
thing if people who know me describe me. And I'm
not saying that I'm the strongest man on the planet.
I'm just using these facts, these you know, these points,
just to speak on it, because I've said most of
these things before. Consistency. People need to know what they're
(20:20):
gonna get from you. And the only thing I'm probably
not consistent with is working out is working out right.
But that's not an expectation of someone else. That's an
expectation of me, and it's not an excuse. I've always
owned up to why I don't like to go. But
at the end of the day, if anyone knows me,
(20:44):
and I feel that if a friend of mine was
asked traits about me, one of those things would be consistency.
I'm gonna be consistent. You're not going to get You're
not gonna talk to me one day and I'm down
in the dumps, and then the next day I'm sky
high and bouncing off the walls. What you might get
(21:06):
every day is I'm good, I'm cool, I'm straight, I'm
making it happen. That's one of my things. That's one
of my characteristics as a leader, right, And I always
admire this in leaders that I actually like, because I
see in leaders that I detest that they don't that
(21:26):
they lack consistency. You shouldn't come into work because you
had a bad evening. You shouldn't bring that shit into
the workplace. You have to compartmentalize. You never know. I
can't say never, but you'll never know. If I'm up
(21:48):
or from down. I'm consistent. I'm always gonna keep to
the same thing. That's why when I say you draw
a line in the sand, I'm consistent with that. And
if you cross that line, there's consequences. This isn't just talk.
There are consequences for that. I'm consistent. I will say
(22:08):
the same thing over and over. Now, if we get
into a discussion, you might be able to change my
mind on certain things because you've presented a great argument,
and so now my mind is not closed to the
fact that I can still learn that someone can explain
it to me in a way that makes total sense,
and like you know, what should I can adjust that thinking.
(22:32):
The reason why I've stuck with the Purple Pill content,
though it may not be flourishing and though it may
not be as flash in the pan as comedy, is
that I'm consistent with it. I'm not a comedian, so
if you see me do content that's funny, it's different
for me. That's why people respond to it. People don't
(22:54):
respond to my shorts about Purple Pill the way that
they do, you know, the random shit that I do.
It's just not it doesn't grab you. It's not that
entertainment factor flash in the pan, it's not instant. But
if you go back to watch my videos, I've been consistent.
(23:16):
I'm not gonna change your I've said this before. You're
not gonna come on this channel and hear me say
men move in with women. I'm never going to say that.
I'm always gonna say we are the leaders and women
aren't gonna change my mind on that. You can call
me misogynists, you can call me I'm stuck in the
nineteen fifties. You can call it whatever you want to.
(23:37):
That's the way I feel, that's the way I think,
and I'm gonna continue to put that out. You know why,
because there are people out there that feel that way,
and it's consistent. I'm the people. I'm the person that
people call for, you know, advice, even when I got
(23:58):
shit going on. I got things going on too. I
gotta find my refugee, my downtime, my meantime when I
can take it. Because they know I'm consistent. If they
asked me a question nine times out of ten, I'm
(24:18):
gonna answer it. I'm gonna be truthful with it. It's
gonna be direct, it's not gonna be sugarcoated. You know this.
So if you get pissed off of me, you're not
pissed off at me. You're pissed off at yourself because
you came to me with an issue. I haven't changed
in twenty years, haven't changed in fifteen years, the time
(24:42):
that you've known me. What makes you think that I'm
gonna become a yes man or an enabler now? And again,
I'm not saying my way is right. I'm just telling
you my from my perspective, what do you think about this?
And I'm gonna tell you one because I appreciate the
in fact the people seek my advice or just seek
(25:06):
my ear to listen. I'm not even gonna say they
seek my advice. I'm not gonna put myself up there
they they vent to me one because I'm not gonna
air your shit out. Whatever you tell me is what
you tell me. That's why I want to become a therapist.
I'm not gonna I don't get on here and call
names and call people out. I did a whole twenty
five year blog about motherfuckers that were dragging me through
(25:28):
the mud. I didn't say what their names were. They
know who they are. I know who they are. We
gotta be consistent. Another word for consistent is stable. Women
seek stability men. We have to be consistent in what
we're doing. If we say, if we say we're gonna
(25:50):
do something, do it. If we can't communicate that, she
can be upset all she wants because she's not getting
what she wants. Got it. I thought I could do that.
I can't. And I told you that. I didn't just
leave you hanging. I didn't do that, So okay, I
will take you being upset because you didn't get what
(26:11):
you wanted. It's not that I didn't want to give
you that I can't, and I can tell you up
front that I can't, So you should appreciate that. You
should appreciate that communication because I'm trying to be consistent.
I'm trying to be a man of my word. Number seven.
(26:33):
A weak man is terrified of loneliness. He clings to
toxic women, He tolerates insults, he fears rejection. But real
men know peace is better than company that disrespects you.
Outside of number three, number seven is where is sad?
(26:56):
I posted audio on the on the YouTube channel about
this men scared to be alone? Why? Why are we
afraid to be alone? We should have our head down,
be working so intent on what we want to do
(27:19):
that we're not worried about that. Who says, who says
that we are supposed to be with someone for our
entire life? Who says that we learned that at some
point we learned what a wedding was, we learned what
(27:40):
a wife and husband was, and so now we assume
that that's the way it's supposed to be, But how
do we know that? How do we know that for sure?
And I'm not against marriage, I'm not against I'm not
saying that you shouldn't, but I'm just saying, when we
started talking about loneliness, how do we know that we're
supposed to be with someone? You should be so happy
(28:02):
by yourself that it's hard to accept someone else because
then you do a better job of vetting mofos before
they come into your life. And we just don't accept bs, right,
we start to set those standards, those deal breakers, and
we actually stick to those men, we shouldn't be terrified of.
(28:22):
Loneliness tolerates insults, disrespect. We shouldn't tolerate that from other men,
let alone women. We don't know, we don't do that.
Don't disrespect me because I don't do that to you.
And so that's one of my pet peeves. I'm out.
I'm out because if you think that you're gonna say
(28:47):
anything that you want to say to me, you are
completely out of your mind because that's not gonna happen
because I don't say that to you. I don't talk
to you any type of way. So, yeah, people are
gonna push their limits because I don't you know. Everybody
comes from a different background, so that might have been
okay for someone else. That might just be who you are.
(29:11):
That's cool, but that doesn't work for me. We have
to be cognizant even when we're upset, when we're annoyed
of the things we say. Me as a grown man,
I can't say, oh, well, you know, I was mad,
that's why I smacked you. You're gonna be like, I
don't give a shit. That's not a reason control yourself.
(29:33):
Oh I called you a B word because I was mad.
You don't want to hear that. That's not an excuse.
That's unacceptable. So you think that you're gonna do it
to me? Absolutely not, absolutely not. Now we can have
heated discussions, you can tell me how you feel. We
(29:54):
should not get into name calling, because again, that's stuff
that you can't come back from. You can't oh, I'm sorry,
I said that because I was upset. So that means
you don't have any self control. Men, we don't tolerate that.
Weak men. We call that called weak men. Betas you
(30:16):
know why, because they get talked to that way. They're
the ones on the submissive end. They're the ones that
like that toxic behavior that just you can do whatever
you want to do because I want to be with you.
Hell no, what are you talking about. I'm marketable out here,
so you should understand that. Hey, as soon as you
(30:37):
walk out that door, because you don't want to be
a part of this anymore, somebody's going to take your
place because it's just that great. A weak man doesn't
have anything to fall back on. He doesn't have confidence
in himself. He's not consistent, he doesn't have the confidence
in himself. He's seeking validation from their people. I know
(31:01):
what I'm doing is right for me. They might not
be right for you, but I'm not asking you to
approve of that. We can't do that. We can't be
afraid of loneliness. Sometimes success is lonely. If you're working
hard to achieve a goal, nobody wants to be a
part of the process. They want to be a part
(31:24):
of the of the success. I didn't know that rhyme.
It does, so they will be there at the end, applauding,
Oh man, you did well. I don't want to hear
that shit. Man, I bust my ass to get here.
It's about time, you know what I'm saying like that's
what it is. We can't be afraid to be lonely,
(31:47):
especially being a man. No, we can't do that because
then we start to accept anything. And we should set
the standard. We should be the standard, and we should uphold.
We should uplift women and children to a new standard
because we pass that on. We got to give them
something to look up to, to look forward to. We
(32:10):
have to do that. Number eight. A weak man lives
in distraction. He scrolls endlessly, games, gossip, blogs, memes. He's
entertained but unfulfilled, then blames the system for his poverty.
Truth is, his focus is too cheap to succeed. How
many people do we know that say that make excuses
(32:32):
for the position that they're in. Women are easy to
point this out, or they see this really easily. When
a man is making excuses as to why he can't
do something, and women don't want to hit that shit.
They don't, they don't, and they shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
They shouldn't have to deal with that. That's your task
to deal with. We can't get distracted from doing what
we are supposed to be doing. That's building an empire.
I think men we get distracted in our twenties. Women
(33:12):
do that to us.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Women distract us. Women are amazing, women are great. They
distract us. So we lose about ten seven to ten
years in our twenties just chasing ass the whole time.
If you just work, that's what I want to get
(33:35):
through to young men. Just work, achieve your goals, set
your own standards. Put in the work. You won't have
to chase anything. They will be trying to nail you down.
They will be trying to tie you down because they
(33:56):
want to be a part of what you have going on.
Someone told that to me when I was younger. I
didn't listen to that, and I know young Uyn's young
men aren't listening to that. They aren't because it's just
how we're built. But I still have a responsibility to
(34:17):
put that information out there. The people that peaked in
high school because they were cool, they didn't go to school,
they skipped school, they drank or smoke or whatever the fuck.
A lot of them didn't make it out of their hometowns.
You go back to your hometown, they're doing the same thing.
But you know what, the nerds, the valedictorians, the top ten,
(34:39):
the top twenty, those that were in ap classes, went
off to college, went off to service, went off to
just move away, got a job, did something. They prospered
just a little bit better because they weren't seeking that
(35:00):
instant gratification. They weren't worried about the distractions. We can't
blame the system for you know, the position that we
as men put ourselves in. It's tough. It's tough for everybody,
(35:20):
male and female. It's tough, but we still gotta make
it out. That's the point of all it is. It's
gonna be tough. You're not looking for the easy way,
but you're looking for a way, and there is one.
You just have to continue to go at it. Recognize
when this isn't working, you regroup, do it again, do
another way, try something else. But you got to continue
(35:42):
to try. When we start sleeping in till one pm,
we have a job, we start moving in with women,
when we start having her pay for your bills, that's
the wrong fucking answer. And you're gonna blame the system
why you can't get a job. I see hiring signs
all freaking day. It might not be the pinnacle, a
(36:06):
CEO of United Airlines. It may not be that where
you start. There's nothing wrong with starting cleaning planes. There's
nothing wrong with that. Continue to work up to get
to where you want to be. Continue to work Number nine.
A weak man folds under pressure, tough times come and
(36:28):
he breaks. He quits fast. But life is a battlefield.
Only those who fight, adapt and endure rise above Exactly.
There's gonna be so many it's just life is just
(36:48):
there's so many obstacles. There's so many things that's gonna
get in your way, and things will slow you down.
Success is not linear, linear meaning industry line. You're gonna
go up, you're gonna go down. It's like the stock market.
When you see the stock market over the last twenty years,
it's gone up, but it's been like a heart monitor
(37:09):
booboo boo boob. But we continue to trend up. So
that's why I say yes, don't say, well, you can't
find a job. Yeah, you're trying to be the CEO
of United Airlines. You don't have any qualifications. They're not
gonna hire you right off your couch. But if you
work your way up through the company, there is nothing
(37:29):
wrong with that. There's a complete honor in that. Stories
from working up. If if you start out on fries
at McDonald's and you work up to be store manager.
There's nothing wrong with that. I don't understand when we
started making McDonald something that is laughed at, something that
is bad in this economy. That's a job. I get it.
(37:49):
Teams work there, and you don't expect to stay there.
I disagree. You don't expect to stay on fries if
I started at nineteen and now I'm thirty five. No,
I don't expect to stay on the fry bench. I
expect to be assistant manager, store manager, regional manager for McDonald's.
You damn right. That's called growth. We don't fold underneath
(38:11):
the pressure, because you know what we have the pressure.
We have a woman's pressure on us. We have a
child's pressure on us that we accepted, and she is
expecting you to accept that pressure, not run from it,
not push it back to her. That's just how it's built.
If we're saying we're the leaders and the providers, that's
(38:33):
what comes with it. You're gonna have to listen to
those issues. You're gonna have to relieve her pressure. That's
what we do. We problem solve, that's what we do.
We can't fold when things get tough. We have to
take a knee. That's cool, that's fine. We don't give up, though,
(38:54):
Like don't give up. Weak men, give up, strong men,
we take a knee. Damn, this shit is, this is
kicking my Asshold on. Let me let me take a
quick knee because I'm human. Let me, let me let
me get it together, and then I continue. It's when
(39:15):
you leave and don't come back. You started a family,
you leave and don't come back. What. I don't understand
how anyone can do that. How you don't take care
of a child you created. I don't understand how anyone
could do that. Weak Men fold under the pressure. As
(39:41):
you accept, more family members, create more family members, get
older in life, the pressure just increases. That means that
you're moving up in the world. There's no pressure on
the on the fry cook, hey, make the throat them
fries crispy. You know what I worked at burger king
when I was in high school. You know, you fill
(40:02):
the basket with fries, put it down, hit the timer.
When the timer goes off, shake the fries and make
sure they're not stuck together. Lift the basket. Dump. It
ain't that hard, easy work. There's no pressure there. But
you think the CEO of United Airlines has pressure, You're
(40:24):
damn right he does. You're damn right she does. Yes,
we should want that pressure. Give me all of that,
because that's gonna make me a better man. And that's
what we all should want to be. Better men, outside
of women, outside of our children, just better men. We
should want to be better men. Number ten. A weak
(40:48):
man wants sympathy instead of self respect. He wants people
to feel sorry for him. But the world doesn't reward tears.
It respects power, grit, and consistency. Get up, fix your mindset,
and level up. No one's coming to save you. It's
all on you. It's all on you. So we shouldn't
(41:13):
even be considering failure. It's not an option. When people
say that failure is not an option, it's a mindset,
is that you're not gonna let these things break you.
No one's coming to save you. No one's coming to
help me. I've told people before, Hey, what you doing
paying bills? Do you think anyone's offered to help me?
(41:38):
Hell no, they're just like, oh, all right, you're damn right,
No one's coming to help me regardless, So I don't
look for the help. I just said it just to
see what they would say, like, yes, I do have
bills too. You know, sometimes women, I don't think realize that.
(41:58):
Sometimes I don't think men realize that we got bills too.
Just because what I present to you makes it look
easy doesn't mean that it is. But again, I'm not
looking for yourself pity. I'm not looking for your hand.
I'm not looking for anything. So I'm going to present
to you. I'm cool. I'll figure it out. I'm cool.
(42:23):
I will make the certain adjustments that I need to
make in order to make sure that I continue. We don't.
The world does not feel sorry for men. I am
one of those people, Like I told you a man panhandling. No, sir,
that's not it. I understand people fall on hard times,
(42:49):
but what is your long term plan? Right? I'm not No,
I'm not doing that because if you can stand there
and do that, my figure, you could do much more.
You can. You just kind of you have to not
look for the easy road, And to me, that is
(43:10):
the easy road. I'm not saying it. That's the right
way to think, but that's just me. Okay, But that's it.
The ten truths of a weak man. Remember your habits,
not your hustle. Shape your future, your discipline not your desires.
To find your legacy. Stop being your own enemy. Build
(43:31):
yourself before trying to build a relationship. Control your emotions,
master your mind, protect your energy. The future belongs to
men who rise when everything around them tries to break them. Again,
this isn't to tear down men. I am a man,
so me tearing down men is an oxymoron. What's the
(43:55):
word I'm looking for? Is not productive? Is counterproductive? To improve,
just like every man has to improve, and we should
want to continue to improve. So this is me. This
is my version of motivation to men and telling you why.
(44:16):
As an older, distinguished gentleman, it is my responsibility to
share that with the younger generation, to anyone who would listen,
because there could be people my age older. They just
need to get the hell up off the couch. They
just need to get a kick in the pants in
order to get up and start moving. So tell me
what you guys think about Ten truths of weak men
So ten truths of a week. Man, I'm always for
us men stepping up. So this is not to degrade men.
That's not what I do. I try to motivate men
by saying, hey, if you're in this position, if you're
in one of these ten positions, probably you should think
(00:21):
about getting out of these positions. If you were worried
about why your selection of women may not be what
you feel it is or what you think it should be,
why is that right? Sometimes we have to look introspective
into ourselves and find out, am I the weak link here?
(00:42):
And there's nothing wrong as a man with admitting that
to yourself, because once you take on the responsibility of
a family, of a woman, leading and providing for her,
and now the focus shifts. Right, we know society doesn't
really care about the feeling of men. You can't convince
me otherwise. Right, We're expected to shut up in color,
(01:05):
We're expected to not show emotions like that. We're expected
to be steady, consistent, dependable. Nobody wants to hear our problems.
We share our problems with our friends, but at the
end of the day is just to have somebody to
vent to, just so we can all right, I got
that out of my system. Now it's time to move on.
It's time to keep going. Okay, so here we go.
(01:26):
Let me go ahead and start off. Ten truths of
a weak man. Number one. A weak man is a
slave to pleasure. He can't resist temptation. He sees cleavage
(01:51):
and lose his focus. Horn weed, alcohol and cheap thrills
own his mind. He's not addicted to pleasure, Sure, he's
allergic to control, and that's why he keeps failing. Okay,
we shouldn't be slaves to pleasure. We are visual, we
do like things that make us look good, but it
(02:11):
should not control us. That's when we start getting into
some of these these cases. These they speak on control. Right,
we should always be in control. I don't smoke, I
don't drink. I'm not perfect, but that's just a choice
that I made. And people ask me all the time,
like why don't you? My question to you is why
(02:33):
do you Why do you smoke? Why do you drink? Oh,
it's just you know, to break from reality. What are
you running from? What are you trying to avoid? Right,
you're not in control. If you're drunk, you're not control.
If you're high, I'm guilty as charged. I want to
(02:54):
try drugs, but I'm not going to, so don't ban me, right,
I'm not. We say no to drugs, but I look
at it and I'm like, what the power of a
drug that makes someone sell everything that they have commit
some you know, some things that just should not be
(03:15):
happening to us as people. You see someone who's drunk.
I'm not talking about buzz, I'm talking about someone who's drunk.
I saw a picture on Facebook. I don't know whether
the caption is true or not, but it was a
man and it said the man was drunk. He's sleeping
on the ground. Sleeping on top of him is his
young son. He's probably six or seven years old. And
(03:38):
they're saying that the sun was so dedicated to his
dad that he didn't want to leave him. So they're
sleeping in the middle of some street. It's not even
a street, it's like a dirt road. But he has
a son that's sleeping on top of him, and they're
saying he's drunk. If this caption is true, this is
where we're failing as men. There's no control there. And
(04:00):
if you don't think that that is going to be
passed down to the next generation. You're out of your mind.
Children are very receptive. They pay attention to a lot.
We should always be in control. We should be in
control of our actions, of our emotions, of our impulses.
We have ways as human beings to get those releases out.
(04:21):
It should be in a safe way where no one
else gets harmed. Don't be a weak man that is
seeking only pleasure, not only pleasure. Then't say that you
can't seek it. It's how you seek it. Should always
be in control. Don't seek those those easy pleasures, taking
a bottle to your head, smoking all the time, giving
(04:44):
them the temptation. Right, we'll get into there's nothing wrong
with seeing a nice woman. She looks really nice, he's
really sexy, Okay, Right, If you make an attempt to
get to know her, get to know her, get to
you know, you want to get her information, you want
to get her number of some sort, and she says no,
you then move on. Men, we don't get upset from rejection.
(05:10):
We've been rejected. You're going to continue to be rejected
in personal life and professional life. You just have to
accept that wasn't Maybe that wasn't for you. You're not
built for her. She's not built for you. We don't
then start to call her names, you know, engage in
a back and forth and argument. We definitely don't start
(05:30):
putting our hands and get physical. We definitely don't do
that type of stuff, right. We don't give into those
easy pleasures. We see nothing wrong with looking and move on.
We got bigger fish to fry. Okay, number two. A
weak man talks too damn much. Two damn much. He
(05:52):
reveals his every move. He wants to sound smart, so
he spills secrets, he complains, he gossips. Real power doesn't
announce itself. Strong men let results speak, not themselves. This
goes back to the loudest one in the room is
usually the weakest one in the room. As a man,
(06:13):
you should be controlled, observative, offer information as it may be,
asks or as required. We should not be the one talking.
I made a video one time that says, hey, when
you go out on a date, the woman should do
the most talking. Women like to talk. That's not a
bad thing, that's just something they like to talk. You
(06:35):
should be doing the listening. You know how many simps
I got called? You know how I was called weak
as a man, just for saying, listen to her, because
what happened is they didn't watch the video. They thought
I meant do what she says at all times, and
the video was just saying let her talk. Listen, Listen
(06:57):
to what she's going to tell you. Listen to those clues.
They will tell you what makes them tick, what makes
them see red flags. Right, we want to avoid the
red flags, and you may see some red flags. We
got too many men just talking too much, talking too much. Now,
(07:25):
I could be guilty of this as a content creator,
saying too much about kind of what's going on with
me and the progress of my channel. Right, I'm a
person that believes and I like stuff to happen and
then talk about it afterwards. So I'm guilty of that
as well. I can be. I could be. That's something
that I've recognized. I've talked to, you know, my brother
(07:46):
about that. One thing I don't do is I don't
spill secrets. I don't complain. I don't complain because no
one wants to hear me complain. People say that, well,
you know, if you're an issue, you know, tell me now,
you don't want to hear that. You don't because once
(08:06):
I start complaining once I bring everything that is wrong
to you, what does that make me sound like? That
makes me sound like a grown adult? Right? That makes
me sound like a complainer, Like you need to you
need to figure it out. Nobody, no one else is
gonna do that. We let results speak, So when people
(08:32):
talk about who's the greatest of all time, you shouldn't
be calling yourself that. You should be putting in the
work and you let others sing your praises. That's the
ultimate success for men. Others sing your praises, others speak
for you. So now you don't even have to announce
(08:54):
it anymore because they already know like they've they've they've supported,
they like what you're doing, and they know how much
hard work you put in, so they're going to sing
your praises for you. And what do you do? You
just continue to work. You continue to get better, because
we can always get better. We peak, and then we're
on a decline trying to get back to our peak
(09:16):
until we just have no more time. Number three. A
weak man puts women above his purpose. He spends all
day texting babes, buying gifts, and begging for attention, but
kings don't chase queens. They build empires, and when the
throne is strong, the right queen shows up. If this
(09:39):
is If there is anything that me Felix Black, the
mayor of the Purple Pill Assembly, wants people to understand
about me, is that I believe this point ten thousand
percent plus one. Again in number three, A weak man
(10:02):
puts women above his purpose. He spends all day texting babes,
buying gifts, begging for attention. Kings don't chase queens, They
build empires, and when the throne is strong, the right
queen shows up. I'm always a proponent of men. Handle
(10:24):
your goddamn business. Do what you're supposed to be doing,
whatever that is, whatever your level of success is. Right,
just understand you're going to attract what your level of
success attracts. Right. We can't date up. This is not
(10:45):
gonna happen. If you want those that are high in
the sky, you need to you need to work to
get that high. Women notice stuff like that. I always say,
you don't have to chase when you're solid, When what
you're doing is solid, your aura will speak to that,
(11:06):
your confidence will speak to that. She will pick up
on that. I think too many times we get caught
up in labels. We want to wear Louise, we want
to wear Gucci, we want to drive nice cars. You
don't have to do that. You don't have to You're
gonna attract the energy you put out. So if you
put out I got money and I'm spent, I'm ready
(11:28):
to spend it. Of course a woman wants that. So
you're gonna get the women that want you to spend
that on them in a different way. Because if you're
buying Louis, if you're buying Gucci, then she's gonna expect
that for herself. If you're more subtle, if you're more
(11:48):
consistent in building wealth and generational wealth, you're gonna attract
a woman that is into that. You're also gonna attract
those that you know want that money spent on them.
But your discipline says that's not not gonna work. We
have two different mind frames. We don't chase, we get chased,
meaning I know women hate to hear you know I'm
(12:10):
not chasing the man. But you are though, But you
are though. It's called showing attention, it's called showing interest.
We're not saying you're chasing behind them. You're doing everything
you need to be doing to convince him that you
should be that he should be with you. That's not
what I'm saying. I'm saying, you see a man who
is attractive to you, you want to be a part
(12:34):
of his empire. So you make yourself available to him,
and you let him know that I'm available to you.
I would like to be a part of what you
have going on. That's what we called that's what we
call chasing. It's cool to be grabbed in a woman
(12:55):
saying hey, I want you like your mind. It's cool,
it works our eg go, But is that really something
that we want long term? Not? Usually not. Usually there's
a way to show that interest. But this is probably
one of my favorite. A weak man puts women above
(13:15):
his purpose. You should be fulfilling your purpose before you
look for a woman, before you start families. It's harder
to continue finding your purpose once you have all of
that to consider. So we should be at a level
of empire. This is my empire. I'm happy with it. Okay,
(13:36):
Now I can accept others into it because it's functional,
it's strong, it's working, and I'm gonna make sure it
continues to work. Number four. A weak man lives for
likes and applause. He posts to impress, he acts to please.
He's a slave to public opinion. But real men don't validation.
(14:01):
They walk into rooms and shift energy without saying a word. Security, security,
and confidence. Aura. I'm really big on presence and aura.
You have to have that, even if you don't have
game to like speak and you know those pickup lines
(14:23):
and the charisma. If you have an aura of just
I'm confident in who I am, I'm solid, I'm stable.
That comes across if you come in. You know, I'm
not against people being comedic and silly, but to me,
that just comes off a different way. You may look
at me and say you're too serious, you don't have
(14:45):
any fun. I do have fun. But again, not everybody
should be privy to everything. People who know me personally
have seen a different side of me, and they will
because I've invited them into that space. If you haven't,
to me, earned that, you're not gonna get that. We
(15:07):
shouldn't give everybody everything. We don't need validation. That's why
I've always said I struggle with words of affirmation. I
struggle giving it because I don't need it, and I
don't seek it. I give my own I give myself
words of affirmation. So, yes, that is something I have
(15:31):
to work on because there are other people that like that.
They like the affirmation. I've always said it. To me,
it feels like a little bit of insecurity. I could
be wrong. I'm probably wrong, but that's how it feels
to me. So I struggle with that just because I
don't need it, and that's not fair to someone else.
(15:51):
It's not fair that I can't give that because I
don't need it. That's just how that's just how I am,
and I recognize that. That's something that I try to
work on. So it's gonna take patience to know that. Okay,
he you know, he's not that that person that says
it directly and maybe by what I do, and maybe
(16:13):
you know by what I say that's not directly a
compliment or giving you security. Sometimes you have to dig
through layers of people because we're different, right. It takes
a little bit of adjustment. But no, we don't. We don't.
(16:33):
We don't worry about the public opinion. It is what
it is. I don't give a shit what you think
about me. I don't I say what I say, and
I'm gonna stand on that because I think that that's
one of the things that we have to consider. Just
as men. We have to think before we speak. And
(16:56):
if you're talking to damn much like number two, you're
just gonna say stuff, you have to think a little bit.
You have to be cognizant of the things that you're
putting out into the atmosphere. Number five. A weak man
wants life on easy mode. He avoids hard work, he
(17:16):
wants shortcuts, not strategy. He fears discipline, so he remains average,
but growth never comes without pain. Strong men respect the
process even when it's hell. I want an easy life,
but it hasn't been that way. I shared with you
guys twenty five years of ups and downs and making
(17:39):
it out on the other side. But yeah, you know,
I want life to be easy, but it's not. So
I have to deal with what I have to deal with.
So I can say I'm guilty of wanting an easy life,
but I've always pushed through the tough parts of life.
I like strategy. I'm disciplined, not as disciplined as I
(18:02):
probably should be. I can ratchet up my discipline more
going to the gym. Five days a week. Right, I
can ratchet up my discipline more. I have room to work.
I have that room to work. We all have something
that we can work on. So when we present ourselves,
(18:22):
we are the best version of ourselves. But we should
not look for the easy out. We should want to
work for what we want. Man, we should want to
work for it, because when you get there, when you
build that empire, can nobody tell you shit? Nothing. So
you may come off as an asshole. You may come
(18:44):
off as a jerk, you may come off arrogant, but
I know what I'm capable of. You don't know what
I've been through to get to this point. You don't
know where I came from. Maybe if you understood the story,
you could say, Okay, I understand it. You may not
like my attitude, but it's this way for a reason.
(19:05):
And if it's worked most of my life, my entire life,
why would I change that. You gotta meet me at
the top. You gotta meet me where I am. I can't.
I can't then change who I am. You know, to
come down to your level. No, I'm not gonna do that.
You meet me at the top if you're already here, excellent,
(19:30):
But you gotta meet me at the top number six.
A weak man lacks consistency. He starts one hundred things
and finishes none. He can't stick to a goal, a habit,
or a plan. His life is a broken cycle of laziness, excuses,
and self pity. The world rewards the consistent, not the confused. Consistency.
(19:56):
You don't like my attitude, but it won't change one
thing if people who know me describe me. And I'm
not saying that I'm the strongest man on the planet.
I'm just using these facts, these you know, these points,
just to speak on it, because I've said most of
these things before. Consistency. People need to know what they're
(20:20):
gonna get from you. And the only thing I'm probably
not consistent with is working out is working out right.
But that's not an expectation of someone else. That's an
expectation of me, and it's not an excuse. I've always
owned up to why I don't like to go. But
at the end of the day, if anyone knows me,
(20:44):
and I feel that if a friend of mine was
asked traits about me, one of those things would be consistency.
I'm gonna be consistent. You're not going to get You're
not gonna talk to me one day and I'm down
in the dumps, and then the next day I'm sky
high and bouncing off the walls. What you might get
(21:06):
every day is I'm good, I'm cool, I'm straight, I'm
making it happen. That's one of my things. That's one
of my characteristics as a leader, right, And I always
admire this in leaders that I actually like, because I
see in leaders that I detest that they don't that
(21:26):
they lack consistency. You shouldn't come into work because you
had a bad evening. You shouldn't bring that shit into
the workplace. You have to compartmentalize. You never know. I
can't say never, but you'll never know. If I'm up
(21:48):
or from down. I'm consistent. I'm always gonna keep to
the same thing. That's why when I say you draw
a line in the sand, I'm consistent with that. And
if you cross that line, there's consequences. This isn't just talk.
There are consequences for that. I'm consistent. I will say
(22:08):
the same thing over and over. Now, if we get
into a discussion, you might be able to change my
mind on certain things because you've presented a great argument,
and so now my mind is not closed to the
fact that I can still learn that someone can explain
it to me in a way that makes total sense,
and like you know, what should I can adjust that thinking.
(22:32):
The reason why I've stuck with the Purple Pill content,
though it may not be flourishing and though it may
not be as flash in the pan as comedy, is
that I'm consistent with it. I'm not a comedian, so
if you see me do content that's funny, it's different
for me. That's why people respond to it. People don't
(22:54):
respond to my shorts about Purple Pill the way that
they do, you know, the random shit that I do.
It's just not it doesn't grab you. It's not that
entertainment factor flash in the pan, it's not instant. But
if you go back to watch my videos, I've been consistent.
(23:16):
I'm not gonna change your I've said this before. You're
not gonna come on this channel and hear me say
men move in with women. I'm never going to say that.
I'm always gonna say we are the leaders and women
aren't gonna change my mind on that. You can call
me misogynists, you can call me I'm stuck in the
nineteen fifties. You can call it whatever you want to.
(23:37):
That's the way I feel, that's the way I think,
and I'm gonna continue to put that out. You know why,
because there are people out there that feel that way,
and it's consistent. I'm the people. I'm the person that
people call for, you know, advice, even when I got
(23:58):
shit going on. I got things going on too. I
gotta find my refugee, my downtime, my meantime when I
can take it. Because they know I'm consistent. If they
asked me a question nine times out of ten, I'm
(24:18):
gonna answer it. I'm gonna be truthful with it. It's
gonna be direct, it's not gonna be sugarcoated. You know this.
So if you get pissed off of me, you're not
pissed off at me. You're pissed off at yourself because
you came to me with an issue. I haven't changed
in twenty years, haven't changed in fifteen years, the time
(24:42):
that you've known me. What makes you think that I'm
gonna become a yes man or an enabler now? And again,
I'm not saying my way is right. I'm just telling
you my from my perspective, what do you think about this?
And I'm gonna tell you one because I appreciate the
in fact the people seek my advice or just seek
(25:06):
my ear to listen. I'm not even gonna say they
seek my advice. I'm not gonna put myself up there
they they vent to me one because I'm not gonna
air your shit out. Whatever you tell me is what
you tell me. That's why I want to become a therapist.
I'm not gonna I don't get on here and call
names and call people out. I did a whole twenty
five year blog about motherfuckers that were dragging me through
(25:28):
the mud. I didn't say what their names were. They
know who they are. I know who they are. We
gotta be consistent. Another word for consistent is stable. Women
seek stability men. We have to be consistent in what
we're doing. If we say, if we say we're gonna
(25:50):
do something, do it. If we can't communicate that, she
can be upset all she wants because she's not getting
what she wants. Got it. I thought I could do that.
I can't. And I told you that. I didn't just
leave you hanging. I didn't do that, So okay, I
will take you being upset because you didn't get what
(26:11):
you wanted. It's not that I didn't want to give
you that I can't, and I can tell you up
front that I can't, So you should appreciate that. You
should appreciate that communication because I'm trying to be consistent.
I'm trying to be a man of my word. Number seven.
(26:33):
A weak man is terrified of loneliness. He clings to
toxic women, He tolerates insults, he fears rejection. But real
men know peace is better than company that disrespects you.
Outside of number three, number seven is where is sad?
(26:56):
I posted audio on the on the YouTube channel about
this men scared to be alone? Why? Why are we
afraid to be alone? We should have our head down,
be working so intent on what we want to do
(27:19):
that we're not worried about that. Who says, who says
that we are supposed to be with someone for our
entire life? Who says that we learned that at some
point we learned what a wedding was, we learned what
(27:40):
a wife and husband was, and so now we assume
that that's the way it's supposed to be, But how
do we know that? How do we know that for sure?
And I'm not against marriage, I'm not against I'm not
saying that you shouldn't, but I'm just saying, when we
started talking about loneliness, how do we know that we're
supposed to be with someone? You should be so happy
(28:02):
by yourself that it's hard to accept someone else because
then you do a better job of vetting mofos before
they come into your life. And we just don't accept bs, right,
we start to set those standards, those deal breakers, and
we actually stick to those men, we shouldn't be terrified of.
(28:22):
Loneliness tolerates insults, disrespect. We shouldn't tolerate that from other men,
let alone women. We don't know, we don't do that.
Don't disrespect me because I don't do that to you.
And so that's one of my pet peeves. I'm out.
I'm out because if you think that you're gonna say
(28:47):
anything that you want to say to me, you are
completely out of your mind because that's not gonna happen
because I don't say that to you. I don't talk
to you any type of way. So, yeah, people are
gonna push their limits because I don't you know. Everybody
comes from a different background, so that might have been
okay for someone else. That might just be who you are.
(29:11):
That's cool, but that doesn't work for me. We have
to be cognizant even when we're upset, when we're annoyed
of the things we say. Me as a grown man,
I can't say, oh, well, you know, I was mad,
that's why I smacked you. You're gonna be like, I
don't give a shit. That's not a reason control yourself.
(29:33):
Oh I called you a B word because I was mad.
You don't want to hear that. That's not an excuse.
That's unacceptable. So you think that you're gonna do it
to me? Absolutely not, absolutely not. Now we can have
heated discussions, you can tell me how you feel. We
(29:54):
should not get into name calling, because again, that's stuff
that you can't come back from. You can't oh, I'm sorry,
I said that because I was upset. So that means
you don't have any self control. Men, we don't tolerate that.
Weak men. We call that called weak men. Betas you
(30:16):
know why, because they get talked to that way. They're
the ones on the submissive end. They're the ones that
like that toxic behavior that just you can do whatever
you want to do because I want to be with you.
Hell no, what are you talking about. I'm marketable out here,
so you should understand that. Hey, as soon as you
(30:37):
walk out that door, because you don't want to be
a part of this anymore, somebody's going to take your
place because it's just that great. A weak man doesn't
have anything to fall back on. He doesn't have confidence
in himself. He's not consistent, he doesn't have the confidence
in himself. He's seeking validation from their people. I know
(31:01):
what I'm doing is right for me. They might not
be right for you, but I'm not asking you to
approve of that. We can't do that. We can't be
afraid of loneliness. Sometimes success is lonely. If you're working
hard to achieve a goal, nobody wants to be a
part of the process. They want to be a part
(31:24):
of the of the success. I didn't know that rhyme.
It does, so they will be there at the end, applauding,
Oh man, you did well. I don't want to hear
that shit. Man, I bust my ass to get here.
It's about time, you know what I'm saying like that's
what it is. We can't be afraid to be lonely,
(31:47):
especially being a man. No, we can't do that because
then we start to accept anything. And we should set
the standard. We should be the standard, and we should uphold.
We should uplift women and children to a new standard
because we pass that on. We got to give them
something to look up to, to look forward to. We
(32:10):
have to do that. Number eight. A weak man lives
in distraction. He scrolls endlessly, games, gossip, blogs, memes. He's
entertained but unfulfilled, then blames the system for his poverty.
Truth is, his focus is too cheap to succeed. How
many people do we know that say that make excuses
(32:32):
for the position that they're in. Women are easy to
point this out, or they see this really easily. When
a man is making excuses as to why he can't
do something, and women don't want to hit that shit.
They don't, they don't, and they shouldn't.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
They shouldn't have to deal with that. That's your task
to deal with. We can't get distracted from doing what
we are supposed to be doing. That's building an empire.
I think men we get distracted in our twenties. Women
(33:12):
do that to us.
Speaker 1 (33:13):
Women distract us. Women are amazing, women are great. They
distract us. So we lose about ten seven to ten
years in our twenties just chasing ass the whole time.
If you just work, that's what I want to get
(33:35):
through to young men. Just work, achieve your goals, set
your own standards. Put in the work. You won't have
to chase anything. They will be trying to nail you down.
They will be trying to tie you down because they
(33:56):
want to be a part of what you have going on.
Someone told that to me when I was younger. I
didn't listen to that, and I know young Uyn's young
men aren't listening to that. They aren't because it's just
how we're built. But I still have a responsibility to
(34:17):
put that information out there. The people that peaked in
high school because they were cool, they didn't go to school,
they skipped school, they drank or smoke or whatever the fuck.
A lot of them didn't make it out of their hometowns.
You go back to your hometown, they're doing the same thing.
But you know what, the nerds, the valedictorians, the top ten,
(34:39):
the top twenty, those that were in ap classes, went
off to college, went off to service, went off to
just move away, got a job, did something. They prospered
just a little bit better because they weren't seeking that
(35:00):
instant gratification. They weren't worried about the distractions. We can't
blame the system for you know, the position that we
as men put ourselves in. It's tough. It's tough for everybody,
(35:20):
male and female. It's tough, but we still gotta make
it out. That's the point of all it is. It's
gonna be tough. You're not looking for the easy way,
but you're looking for a way, and there is one.
You just have to continue to go at it. Recognize
when this isn't working, you regroup, do it again, do
another way, try something else. But you got to continue
(35:42):
to try. When we start sleeping in till one pm,
we have a job, we start moving in with women,
when we start having her pay for your bills, that's
the wrong fucking answer. And you're gonna blame the system
why you can't get a job. I see hiring signs
all freaking day. It might not be the pinnacle, a
(36:06):
CEO of United Airlines. It may not be that where
you start. There's nothing wrong with starting cleaning planes. There's
nothing wrong with that. Continue to work up to get
to where you want to be. Continue to work Number nine.
A weak man folds under pressure, tough times come and
(36:28):
he breaks. He quits fast. But life is a battlefield.
Only those who fight, adapt and endure rise above Exactly.
There's gonna be so many it's just life is just
(36:48):
there's so many obstacles. There's so many things that's gonna
get in your way, and things will slow you down.
Success is not linear, linear meaning industry line. You're gonna
go up, you're gonna go down. It's like the stock market.
When you see the stock market over the last twenty years,
it's gone up, but it's been like a heart monitor
(37:09):
booboo boo boob. But we continue to trend up. So
that's why I say yes, don't say, well, you can't
find a job. Yeah, you're trying to be the CEO
of United Airlines. You don't have any qualifications. They're not
gonna hire you right off your couch. But if you
work your way up through the company, there is nothing
(37:29):
wrong with that. There's a complete honor in that. Stories
from working up. If if you start out on fries
at McDonald's and you work up to be store manager.
There's nothing wrong with that. I don't understand when we
started making McDonald something that is laughed at, something that
is bad in this economy. That's a job. I get it.
(37:49):
Teams work there, and you don't expect to stay there.
I disagree. You don't expect to stay on fries if
I started at nineteen and now I'm thirty five. No,
I don't expect to stay on the fry bench. I
expect to be assistant manager, store manager, regional manager for McDonald's.
You damn right. That's called growth. We don't fold underneath
(38:11):
the pressure, because you know what we have the pressure.
We have a woman's pressure on us. We have a
child's pressure on us that we accepted, and she is
expecting you to accept that pressure, not run from it,
not push it back to her. That's just how it's built.
If we're saying we're the leaders and the providers, that's
(38:33):
what comes with it. You're gonna have to listen to
those issues. You're gonna have to relieve her pressure. That's
what we do. We problem solve, that's what we do.
We can't fold when things get tough. We have to
take a knee. That's cool, that's fine. We don't give up, though,
(38:54):
Like don't give up. Weak men, give up, strong men,
we take a knee. Damn, this shit is, this is
kicking my Asshold on. Let me let me take a
quick knee because I'm human. Let me, let me let
me get it together, and then I continue. It's when
(39:15):
you leave and don't come back. You started a family,
you leave and don't come back. What. I don't understand
how anyone can do that. How you don't take care
of a child you created. I don't understand how anyone
could do that. Weak Men fold under the pressure. As
(39:41):
you accept, more family members, create more family members, get
older in life, the pressure just increases. That means that
you're moving up in the world. There's no pressure on
the on the fry cook, hey, make the throat them
fries crispy. You know what I worked at burger king
when I was in high school. You know, you fill
(40:02):
the basket with fries, put it down, hit the timer.
When the timer goes off, shake the fries and make
sure they're not stuck together. Lift the basket. Dump. It
ain't that hard, easy work. There's no pressure there. But
you think the CEO of United Airlines has pressure, You're
(40:24):
damn right he does. You're damn right she does. Yes,
we should want that pressure. Give me all of that,
because that's gonna make me a better man. And that's
what we all should want to be. Better men, outside
of women, outside of our children, just better men. We
should want to be better men. Number ten. A weak
(40:48):
man wants sympathy instead of self respect. He wants people
to feel sorry for him. But the world doesn't reward tears.
It respects power, grit, and consistency. Get up, fix your mindset,
and level up. No one's coming to save you. It's
all on you. It's all on you. So we shouldn't
(41:13):
even be considering failure. It's not an option. When people
say that failure is not an option, it's a mindset,
is that you're not gonna let these things break you.
No one's coming to save you. No one's coming to
help me. I've told people before, Hey, what you doing
paying bills? Do you think anyone's offered to help me?
(41:38):
Hell no, they're just like, oh, all right, you're damn right,
No one's coming to help me regardless, So I don't
look for the help. I just said it just to
see what they would say, like, yes, I do have
bills too. You know, sometimes women, I don't think realize that.
(41:58):
Sometimes I don't think men realize that we got bills too.
Just because what I present to you makes it look
easy doesn't mean that it is. But again, I'm not
looking for yourself pity. I'm not looking for your hand.
I'm not looking for anything. So I'm going to present
to you. I'm cool. I'll figure it out. I'm cool.
(42:23):
I will make the certain adjustments that I need to
make in order to make sure that I continue. We don't.
The world does not feel sorry for men. I am
one of those people, Like I told you a man panhandling. No, sir,
that's not it. I understand people fall on hard times,
(42:49):
but what is your long term plan? Right? I'm not No,
I'm not doing that because if you can stand there
and do that, my figure, you could do much more.
You can. You just kind of you have to not
look for the easy road, And to me, that is
(43:10):
the easy road. I'm not saying it. That's the right
way to think, but that's just me. Okay, But that's it.
The ten truths of a weak man. Remember your habits,
not your hustle. Shape your future, your discipline not your desires.
To find your legacy. Stop being your own enemy. Build
(43:31):
yourself before trying to build a relationship. Control your emotions,
master your mind, protect your energy. The future belongs to
men who rise when everything around them tries to break them. Again,
this isn't to tear down men. I am a man,
so me tearing down men is an oxymoron. What's the
(43:55):
word I'm looking for? Is not productive? Is counterproductive? To improve,
just like every man has to improve, and we should
want to continue to improve. So this is me. This
is my version of motivation to men and telling you why.
(44:16):
As an older, distinguished gentleman, it is my responsibility to
share that with the younger generation, to anyone who would listen,
because there could be people my age older. They just
need to get the hell up off the couch. They
just need to get a kick in the pants in
order to get up and start moving. So tell me
what you guys think about Ten truths of weak men
