The only way to grow and become better is to accept that there are people who know more than you, and that you can learn from them. You gotta accept that there’s always gonna people smarter and better and greater than you. It’s just the facts. I believe in equality and all, but I don’t think all people are equal. You have to treat everyone with respect, and acknowledge that there are always gonna be people who are way more successful than you.

“Too soon we extinguish the flame of our hope."

What he was saying is you can have the good life now. Too soon we extinguish that flame. You know when you're a little kid, you have all the hope in the world. But life tears you down for the most part. It's done it for every single one of us through the various traumas that life throws at us, and it turns us into haters. We become jealous and envious towards the people who have achieved greatness.

That’s why I throw parties and have successful people over all the time. I’ve always wanted to learn from the greatest and read stories about the people before us, because you’ll never grow and become better by sheltering yourself and thinking you know more than everyone.

You can never learn by yourself.

I knew from a very young age that if I wanted to be successful and fulfilled, that I had to work to better the world, not just myself. If you want to be great, you have to surround yourself with people who are better than you.

Now, you gotta have self confidence too. If you humble yourself in front of successful people, but be confident when approaching them, they’re going to give you the respect you have earned.

You gotta have heroes, and you gotta keep looking up to people. Otherwise life’s just gonna drag you down.

You can learn something from everyone. You don’t have to like everyone, or agree with everything they say, but have some respect.

Like I here people trash talking Trump all the time, and I’m not saying you have to like the guy, but he’s achieved a lot of success in his life. Take a step back and look at what he’s done. There’s a lot of amazing lessons you can learn from him. 

There is always something that you don’t know that you can learn from other people, you just can’t close people off.

You can’t have any shame. I want you to be shameless.

Hold successful, great, and powerful people in high regard. You should never feel bad for looking up to people.

Go past me. Go further than me. Become shameless to the point that people around you may think you're a little weird.

Stay Strong,
Tai

Hey Tai here, Sometimes it's hard to find somebody to help. There's a lot of need out there in the world. The way I look at it, in the world with all the suffering, you've got to earn the right to drive a Rolls Royce by making sure you give back. I gave $500 to a homeless man and his dog once and he thanked me by saying  “there is a God.” Now some people would probably say he might use that money for drugs and alcohol, and there's some truth to that, but I don't know. At this point in my life I don't feel like it's my place to judge everything, figure everything out, and try to help. Some people use it the right way, some people abuse it, but for the people that do use it, at least people didn't hold back giving because of the people who do abuse it. You know what I mean? Plus with that guy, I kind of have a soft spot for dogs. He's got his dog, and hopefully he buys some dog food, vet bills. You know I feel like animals are a lot of times helples...

“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh Dear ELLEN, “Next to “I love you,” and their name, “thank you” are the sweetest words a person can hear. What you may not know is that they are also some of the sweetest to say.  Gratitude makes you feel good. Robert Emmons from University of California Davis and Michael McCollough of Southern Methodist University conducted a study on the impact of gratitude on well-being.  Several hundred study participants were divided into three groups. One asked to keep a journal of anything that happened each day; the second was asked to write about unpleasant experiences and the third group was asked to make a gratitude list.  The people in the third group reported making better choices, felt more resilient, reported improvement in their relationships, made more progress toward their goals, felt more enthusiastic and energetic, and reported significantly less stress than the other ...

“The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart” ― Helen Keller Dear ELLEN, Have you been taught to hide or dismiss your feelings?  I hope not - but if you do deny your emotions in any way, you’re doing yourself a disservice. You’re human and emotions are part of your life. You may be a busy professional who believes that showing emotion means the competition will smell weakness and go for the kill.  You may be a father who believes that he has to be the rock of the family and be stoic in front of the kids no matter what.  You may be a woman who was told not to be such a drama queen. Yes, there are times when it’s good to tone down the display of emotion, but you certainly have a right to feel them.  Not allowing yourself to feel emotion can backfire because if the underlying issue isn’t dealt with it will rear its head again when you least want it to. Think about why ...
