How you wake up at 5 yesterday and 10 this morning? That’s 5 hours of productivity lost! How much you accomplish today compared to yesterday? Do not stay up pass 10 tonight! Comment no later than 5:30!
Is That A $20 Bill You’re Using As A Bookmark?
Yeah, sure is! I also use a Lord Of The Rings bookmark for my bible.
From your grandma saying, “just because you can save money doesn’t mean you will be rich” to your dad suggesting you let Smith & Nephew kill your entrepreneurial spirit, Napoleon would like to remind you of something,
Close friends and relatives, while not meaning to do so, often handicap one through “opinions” and sometimes through ridicule, which is meant to be humorous. Thousands of men and women carry inferiority complexes with them all through life, because some well-meaning but ignorant person destroyed their confidence through “opinions” or ridicule.
I know you wanted to stick a fork in their tongue after they said such a strange combination of words, but, like Hill said, they’re well-meaning, however, IGNORANT. It’s like what Will Smith said to his son in The Pursuit of Happyness,
Christopher Gardner: Hey. Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You can’t do something. Not even me. All right?
Christopher: All right.
Christopher Gardner: You got a dream… You gotta protect it. People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period.
Then, you cried. Wouldn’t it have been so encouraging had they said something like that instead of giving you a 100 reasons why it can’t be done?
They can’t do it themselves(well, they can but they don’t have faith), don’t know anyone who did it(outside the famous), so when you DO IT, you will educate the ignorant. The lesson is simple: YOU CAN WILL DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO. All actions are first clothed in a thought. Even the smallest of baby steps. And things you don’t have to think about no more are second nature, which means habit, so make sure your thought patterns continue to be power, success and opulence.
Here’s to superior minds! Cheers.

P.S. I want you to read Meet the tireless entrepreneur who squatted at AOL , think of an opinion about Eric Simons, then read the comments. See the difference between you and THEM? How can you not have anything other than praise for this kid? How? How is it possible? Well, congratulations, Har-old, you found a soul mate. Enjoy your 9 to 5, suckas!

Remember what we did on November 30th? Well, comment no later than 5:30 am. There’s something in it for you.
When In Doubt, Give It Time…(Or How To Not Go Spiralling Into Depression, Delusion and Paranoia)
Dear Feather,
You’ve been flying lately. In many ways you have finally committed to yourself(link) and allowed a lot of long-held, or obsessively held limitations fall to the wayside.
You’ve been challenging yourself with non-violent communication and in some ways you’ve been doing great. In other ways you are still struggling to break through to a greater truth. Don’t be afraid to offend, it will happen, regardless, no matter how careful you are, things that need to be said, that aren’t pretty to say may elicit pain, discomfort, defense…but it will also lead to awareness, truth, trust, change.
And you know…there needs to be a change in the way you communicate and what you allow to be communicated to you. It’s not like you can change what other people say to you…but you can change your reaction to what people say. You can change that by looking at the big picture. You’re human, everyone you communicates with is human, everyone is trying their best, even if their best is currently horrible, it is because they don’t know any better way.
Compassion, understanding, honesty and being open are the only ways to encourage them to see there is a better way. Be honest about how difficult it is, but how important it is for YOU to listen and be honest and be heard, and be open and hopeful and respectful and discerning and forgiving and neutral and accepting of what others say, and how they say it, and what they mean, and what they want to get across…and how what you say, and how you say it, and want to say and what you mean is a constant process, is a growing seed that you’re watering and exposing to the sun and letting it grow as it will.
You took a bold step…telling something that no one wants to hear. That countless others have tried to ignore or just didn’t have the courage to say. Stand by your goal there…the goal was to be honest, to enable change, to express where you stand on the issue…don’t let your words back-track…if you can’t say what you need to say, say nothing. The time will come when it will mull around just enough that it is easy enough to flow from you and float on the wind like a feather…that is the quality of truth. Trust it and allow it grow from you.

Happy One Year Anniversary FY!!!
Day late. Almost two. However, I didn’t forget. I’ve written you letters for a year now. What have you learned? Are you catching up to me or are you staying behind? If it’s the former, I’ll keep writing. The latter, I’ll stop. I’m measuring your progress. I want to feel you breathing on my neck. Read and assimilate! Start from the first letter and work your way to the most recent.
Yeah, the date got pushed to June 8, but look on the bright side: You got more time to refine your pitch and work on your current idea. And, you have more time for the recruitment process to have other ideas presented. What’s 40 or 50 dollars? Furthermore, with it not being on Mother’s Day weekend, there will be more support. You need to start attending Tech Cocktails. Keep up with your coding!!!
You know what’s funny? How the time on your hands isn’t mostly used on your purpose and your goals then when something threatens that time you panic and complain, “Now I won’t have time to … . ” You’re consistent at being inconsistent. Tyler Durden’s first rule of innovation is “No fear. No distractions. The ability to let that which does not matter truly slide.” What happen to being an anti-crastinator? Hmmm? You do not look like success. You do not smell like success. You do not taste like success. And, I know you do not feel like a success at this moment. You need to runny nose read Outwitting The Devil again to fight this drifting you’re doing. You part of that 98% until you master it.
Learn the Reality Distortion Field. You can create your own new world through sheer mental force.
Do You!
The heart of your conversation earlier with Ranita:
Har-old-Is there any advice, you being 40, you can offer me being 24? Like, something you wish someone told you at my age?
Ranita- Do you! Get your education. And, don’t worry about them.
Har-old-Who is them?
Ranita-Them is so-called friends, fake people, doubters, girls. Don’t let no one distract you from working on you and your success.
Har-old-I’ll be honest. I am distracted by girls. So, you think I should just stay away from them?
Ranita-No, I didn’t say that. It’s okay to have a little girlfriend or just a friend. But getting settled down and being in a committed relationship, don’t do it. I got married at 19, had 4 kids and wish someone told me this. And now, I’m starting over. You need to focus on your education, getting your degree, and worry about what’s gone make you successful. Being distracted by a relationship is something we all go through. So, you gone have to find a way to take your focus off the other person and become distracted with your own self. You’re a handsome young man, on your own, seem like you got your head on straight. You don’t want to get caught up with these lil’ girls out here. They want your money. The one thing about women is that we will wait on you. No matter how long it takes. So if she’s the right one for you, and wants you to succeed, she will wait. All those people you named, Zuckerberg, Jobs, they didn’t let no one distract them, if they did, they would NOT be where they are now. Do you, baby!
Are you getting it now, son? DO YOU! Grrrrr!!!
FY,
Har+new
P.S. I’m so happy you’re smart enough to see the messages in things. Big or small. You’re a thinker. Losing your technology for a few days did some good.
First, your phone. Now, your laptop. Are you getting the message yet? You are not doing goal-oriented things on these devices. You’re using them the wrong way. Now you’re experiencing a disconnect from the world without technology. It’s just you and your thoughts. It could be up to a week before you get your replacements. When you do, spend your time wisely on both phone and laptop. Maybe this temporary disconnect from the world will re-connect you with your world. Get the message: Stop drifting!
When People Show You Who They Are, Believe Them!
What does this remind you of?
She told you she was a bitch and you didn’t believe her. PAP! Why would she even bother to tell YOU this? Because she was predicting the future. And you bloody fool, why didn’t you believe her? You don’t trust life. This is an exact reflection of that. You don’t even know yourself yet. So, how you gone put another person BEFORE you and think you KNOW them? Hmmm? Why are you mad at the other person? Why are you blaming the other person? Be mad and put the blame on yourself. Learn to trust life. Learn. To. Trust. Life. This was a life lesson. Like she said, “Do the math and figure it out.” Don’t get PAPPED a 29th time! She isn’t deserving of your love. She won’t fight for you like you fought for her. What does that tell you? And, that’s why you should stop fighting and give up. Quit! Move on. You said your goodbye. Do not be hard-head, now. Cancel that bitch! Believe in Maya Angelou’s poetry. Oprah does. Ha!
FY,
Har+new
P.S. Thanks, appreciation, and love shown to Brook for being a YouTuber and forwarding the message.
P.P.S. This is the first video on FY. About time, huh?
Your pitch will be much stronger with a Beta Waiting List. At least 500. Mostly girls. Why? Because they WILL rule the site. Will you approach potential users one by one? Will you use one user to get two? Will you build the front-end and funnel them? Whatever you decide to do, that list is important. Traction. Traction. Traction.
Think Ballsy
One thing I’ve come to learn when it comes to business and even politics and power, having a penis gets you far. It’s time to grow some balls. Steve Harvey gave great advice, think like a man. I’m saying when it comes to business, BE a man.
-Me
I see you. You want to be a great listener, however, remember, this is your first year attempting. You’re trying hard like Will Smith in the first season of The Fresh Prince. ”I would memorize the entire script, then I’d be lipping everybody’s lines while they were talking. When I watch those episodes, it’s disgusting. My performances were horrible.” Shhh … only talk while the other person is talking if you’re using the Rapid Repeat Technique.
You get two days to cry (after that…)
Cj 28,
What is happening to you? Your light is dimming. There is a faraway look in
your eyes. You are compromising so much of yourself. What happens to doing your best? Do you believe that living a mediocre life is doing your best?
Look at yourself. STOP with the “buts”.
Be silent and just look at yourself. How will you ever meet me if you waste away in depression? What happens to knowing that nothing new can come into your life until you are grateful for that which you already have? What happens to knowing that sometimes you have to be at a particular place before you can get to your destination? You don’t just ARRIVE.
What is that I see? Tears. Ok. CRY. I want you to cry. I am giving you two days. 
Only two day to just cry. Throw yourself the pity party. Embrace the part of the story that keeps you wallowing in your own sadness like a pig wallowing in mud. After that, the tears are enough. You are just one pitiful woman expecting the world to feel sorry for you. I am giving you two days to cry because after that it is just sad. You are just sad. Look at you sitting there – crying about a problem you just recently attempted to address; wanting the problem to go away as soon as you think it.
Seriously CJ28, seriously?
Harry Potter is for Hollywood my dear. Leave magical things to the big screen. Life’s challenges will never disappear with the flick of a wand.
Answer this question, when you are driving in a downpour – can you see ahead clearly if your windshield wipers are defective? Ok, I thought so too. So why do 
you think that you will be able to see clearly with all the tears in your eyes. You cannot figure out the answers to the important questions because you have defective wipers in your life. Go and get them fixed.
Now CJ28, this is what I want you to do after day 2. Wipe your eyes and embrace the other side of the story. There is always a positive side to the story. I can’t tell you the answer. It is there and you will figure it out. So, just get those wipers fixed and the answer will come to you.
…and please remember, you are here today so that you can be somewhere else in the future.
Futuristically yours,
Cj40.
*Michael Jordan fist pump* YES!!! I mean, I knew you were going to be there, in the building, somewhere. But I think purchasing this ticket tells me exactly where you will be in the building. ON THE STAGE, BABY!!! IN THE SPOTLIGHT!!! Because I just know, Har-old, you are not going to just go there and look up to people pitching their own ideas instead of looking down at people pitching your own. How disappointing will that be? Anyway, you have just under 3 months to prepare. Learn from Kevin and his experience. You don’t think you stumbled upon his blog by accident, do you? Watch videos and take notes of Steve Jobs being insanely great in front of audiences. Just mastermind the entire event. I feel pretty confident in you winning over that crowd and getting your idea launched in 48 hours. This will be an early birthday present to yourself. WOOOOO!!! What shyness? Ha!
The 5 Secrets to Effective Prayer
Us yesterday:
Har-old-What you doing?
Har+new-Reading old poetry.
Har-old-Whose old poetry?
Har+new- … Ours.
Har-old-Oh yeah … anything catch your attention?
Har+new-Yeah, actually, this line from God Gave Me Style, “I have my best conversations with God. He’s a great listener.” This line made me think of the brilliant alternative to prayer you had a long time ago about how to better communicate with God. You remember it?
Har-old-No
Har+new-About writing a letter to God and putting it in the pocket of a dead person you’re sure going to heaven.
Har-old-Haha
Har+new-Why you never tried that, man?
Har-old- *sighs* Didn’t know any saints.
Har+new-You still think about reaching him?
Har-old-Who?
Har+new-The How Many Licks Does It Take To Get To The Center Of A Tootsie Pop Owl. Who you think? God, man.
Har-old-Sometimes. But I don’t really believe in …
Har+new-… prayer. Just because God didn’t answer your prayer about Tomika do not mean prayer doesn’t work. Come here, sit. I’m gone teach you a new way to pray. It’s creative. It’s innovative. And most importantly, it’s effective. Okay …
One, body language. Do not get on your hands and knees. That is a beggar’s position. Sometimes the words coming out of people’s mouth doesn’t match their body language, but, in most prayers, they do. I’m talking prayers that consist of empty, begging, meaningless words. People who whine and beg God to assume responsibility for all their troubles and provide them with all the necessities and luxuries of life are too lazy to create what they want and translate it into existence through the power of their own minds. When you hear a person praying for something that he should procure through his own efforts, you may be sure you are listening to a drifter. Body language is 55% of communication. I didn’t kneel when I asked Now Wife to marry me. Why? Because I don’t beg someone to take half of my shit, possibly. Do not get on your hands and knees for no one. No one!
Two, imagery. You were created in God’s image, therefore, look in the mirror when you pray. You like that one, don’t you? Ah, there’s a catch though. You have to do it … with your eyes closed.
Three, foresight. Do it before difficulty overtakes you. This is crucial. The majority of people who pray go to prayer only after everything else fails them. Naturally they go with their minds filled with fear that the prayers will not be answered. Well, their fears are realized. You have to constantly imagine problems that could affect your situation. That’s not being negative; that’s being realistic.
Four, Master Mind Alliance. A passage in the Bible says, “When two or more meet together and ask for anything in My name, it shall be granted.”
Five, emotions. Pray only when emotional. Both positive and “negative.” Why? Because that’s the best way to reach your subconscious, which is the REAL listener of your prayers, not God. Thoughts acted upon first by your subconscious are those mixed with the strongest desires and the most intense feelings. Why also pray when “negative” emotions are present, and why did I put quotation marks around it? Because negative emotions/desires are just frustrations of the positive ones. They are inspired by some form of defeat, failure, or neglect by human beings to adapt themselves to nature’s laws in a positive way. Be sure to acknowledge this in the prayer. The seven major positive emotions are: desire, faith, love, sex, enthusiasm, romance and hope. The seven major negative emotions are: fear, jealousy, hatred, revenge, greed, superstition, and anger.
Har-old, take inventory of your intangible assets for the purpose of disclosing possessions of a priceless value. Start with your mind and body.

P.S. This letter will push FY to the 20,000 flying car (site visitors) milestone. Two months over-due, but it’s here, nevertheless. Naturally, I will have more letters than any other author, however, it’s been more enjoyable reading letters from Mrs. Me, Feather, Robby and Shae. Always appreciative of such contribution. Thanks! Look forward to sharing more milestones with y’all and more authors to come. Check out the frequently updated new page Shorts. It’s awesome!

Success Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
Ms. Me you are on your way. Always remember if you can envision where you want to go and how you want to get there you can do it! Keep painting that picture both mentally and physically through the steps you’re taking to reach your goals. I’m so proud of you! Don’t you ever stop for NO ONE!

Ain’t No Sunshine When She’s Gone…
Dear Feather,
You knew it would happen. You are in that place of maximum opportunity. You are in the gold mine and you’re now noticing how hard it is to remember the brilliance of the sky. It’s dark and murky in the tunnel, despite the flashlight on your head. You’re unsure how much you want to find gold if it means staying where you are for much longer.
You’ve lost your edge.
You fell head first into this predicament only because she pushed you and now she’s out there waiting for you to come out. She’s waiting outside to pull you up because without her you would never get out. Remember your edge, because without her you’re afraid to go where the sun don’t shine. With her, you’ll come back on the other side with a glow around you. Then you’ll know how much grit you’re worth in gold. Listen to her rooting for you on the outside. Call back to her, let her hear your frustrations, your challenges and your progress. Ask her for help, ask her for inspiration, and remember her strength… remember the push on your back and take it in…own it.

You’re doing your numbers in the fitness center. Even exceeding expectations. However, there’s one habit I need broken . . . stop looking down and checking the numbers on the treadmill’s monitor every 6 seconds! Relaxation courses teach us to imagine ourselves in a relaxing place and looking at the clock in our minds then relaxing for one hour by THAT clock, although, only a few minutes have passed by of . . . “real-time.” This says two things: Your mind is fast. And real-time doesn’t speed up or slow down for no one; it moves at its own pace. Har-old, aren’t you known to march to the beat of your own drum? You and time have too much in common to be enemies. Meditate on that during the next run.
The thesaurus defines ideal (adjective) as unachievable. That definition was wrote by a mere mortal. Become more than just a man, Har-old. Become legend. Become an ideal, yourself. Devote yourself to the attainment of the object of your purpose. The only way you can achieve this purpose is by becoming your ideal self . . . Har+new. You were looking for a way to change your life. You can’t do THIS alone. That’s why you created me, your ideal self, as something to pursue. But don’t just pursue me, catch up to me, get ahead of me. I am reachable! I am achievable!
Remember when I said your apartment is putting you in danger? Then I alluded to a future letter on how, by the way, which is titled Why Walking Around The House Naked Is Overrated? Well, I wish I would’ve wrote that before the last four. I even tried writing it tonight, before midnight, before your first test. But it’s too late. She’s on her way. *sighs* But I don’t want to scare you with the word danger. To you, it’s probably not a danger at all. I mean, what do you care about being a Superman? Hmmm? Rather you want to admit it or not, THAT is a threat. THAT is your kryptonite. I’ll explain further in the aforementioned letter, but, it may be too little too late. I certainly hope not. On a lighter note, I love the new page Shorts. Update it frequently, Har-old.
It’s a Smart Phone, Dummy
Dear Ms. Me,
This one is going to be short and simple. You know that thing you keep attached to your hand, yeah that digital “life support system”of yours, it’s about time you milk it for what it’s worth. We both know you have not build up your base of friends and associates yet so, it’s not like anyone is blowing it up. Other than music and tweeting you’re not getting your monies worth out of that phone and you’re wasting our precious time.
You’ve got a great idea on the horizon but if you don’t use your resources to get organized it well become another flop. So, use your phone to keep up with everything. It’s always on you…ALWAYS, it’s rare that you don’t have it on you do USE IT PROPERLY!
Ok, that’s all for now baby girl. Got some secret santa work to get to.

You have not been a good father, to your 3 month young brainchild. The programmer thing, right? Well, I’ve got some news that really isn’t news because you think in possibilities, which means, you played with this thought before. Har-old, you do NOT need a partner to get this baby started! Instantaneous success. This is a low resistance level idea. A 180 from the Yeebizan. Now how are you going to use the last 2 days of 2011 to be the father of the year in 2012? Hmmm? Your hat is waiting on you!
Have you taken time for yourself today?
“Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.” -Buddha
Dear Robby,
A Few Questions For You
Have you taken time to meditate today? Remember when your head was so cloudy that you decided to take a few minutes out of your day to sit and reflect. You came up with solutions to problems you had ignored, it worked then, have you done that lately?
How’s your health? You lost ten pounds when you started going to the gym twice a week. You had fun going. Still doing that?
When was the last time you had discussions of philosophy, picked someones brain to find out what or how they believed? You always said it made you feel enlightened, gave you a heightened awareness, that even if you did not believe as they did……just to know how they felt gave you a greater understanding of the world and those in it, and you were a better person, a more empathetic person for taking the time to listen and appreciate opinions different from you own.
Mentally, Physically, Spiritually what have you done lately that makes you feel deliciously intense and sparkly, like a diamond?, Fireworks?, Jello?
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. – Benjamin Disraeli
I like this quote, do us a favor and process this, you’ll like the results.
No, life is not entirely about doing things that make you feel like you just ate a bowl of brilliance, but when you do get a taste, which you will find happens more often than not, I urge you to savor every bit with the understanding that the supply is infinite.
Futuristically yours,
