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!

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.

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.

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!

Success Is In The Eye Of The Beholder

Dec 30 2011
Aside

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!

Aside

Every adversity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or a greater benefit.

Hill went on further to say, “Despite the benefits with which we may get from adversities and unpleasant experiences of every nature no one desires to meet with these experiences.”  Time to test Hill’s philosophy. What if you became the one who did desire to meet with such experiences? Har-old, what if you planned your “failures” as a way to gain wisdom? Hmmm? Plan to get caught. Start a fire. Of course!!! #MasterMind

Dear Har-old,

In the October 22, 2011 letter, of the following fortune, I had this to say,

It’s not October 22, 2011 but the progress you’re making tells me this one will come true as well.

Har-old, I was gone wait until Saturday to letter you this one, but, how could I ignore the brightness of your “lucky” star? Really? Let’s live in the moment for a minute. Your mind yielded to you the Yeebizan’s successor; you found your “Mark Zuckerberg”; your first 100k isn’t bitchy; the world’s highest paid profession is calling you; you move into your first apartment on the 1st. I must ask you …

Do you really need 3 more days? Haha!

Look in the mirror, kid. You’re looking Har+new+ish.

Like BooBear said,

And just think it’s only the beginning!

FY,

Har+new

P.S. To celebrate, I’m waving bye-bye to the iPhone notepad and changing FY’s theme to something more futuristic. But we gone keep it in the Apple family. Hint, hint. Effective tomorrow!

If You Look Through Hole Of The Doughnut, You Will See The Hot Coffee That Spilled On My Lap

Dear Har-old,

What do you see in the picture to the right?

If you see the doughnut, you see the solution.

If you see the hole only, you see the problem.

As Napoleon Hill said,

The failures see the hole in the doughnut but don’t see the doughnut around the hole.

The successes see the hole also but they see the doughnut around the hole.

If you’re only seeing the hole, it’s time to start buying the creme-filled, Har-old. However, don’t buy ‘em if you’re just gone punch out the hole with fear, doubt and disbelief.

If you can’t see the forest for the trees, just look down at the creme-filled doughnut trail I left you. It will lead you to my neck of the woods. In hindsight, you will kick yourself with the back of your foot. But this is Futuristically Yours, we’re about foresight, so, I want you to think ahead. Here’s what I mean …

Think about all the things you regret and get mad at yourself over but  still continue to do. Now the next time you’re in one of your “trying moments,” right before you give in, imagine you did it, then ask yourself: How do I feel? Obviously, you will not feel good. You don’t have to actually experience it to feel because your imagination is strong enough, kid.

Think first. Think ahead. Always. You’re already parts of me. When Har-old gets angry, it heightens Har+new’s resolve. Think about that!

Futuristically yours,

Har+new

The Other 8 Hours

Dear Har-old,

We all have the same twenty-four hours available to us in each day. Most of us spend eight hours working and eight hours sleeping. What you do with the remaining eight hours will have a tremendous influence on the level of success you achieve in your life.

Time management revolution. Work. Sleep.

You hate your job: hours are terrible; pay is awful; wretched co-workers; horrid boss. Fine!

You sleep for 8 hours, toss and turn, wake up and can’t remember your dreams. Still fine!

However, with The Other 8 Hours you stack a pyramid of pennies, watch movies like Matrjoschka, play video games like Guitar Hero-playing music someone else has already recorded, build the Leaning Tower Of Pisa with Jenga blocks, watch YouTube videos of other people wasting their time and comment on the internet. DEFINITELY NOT FINE!

If you spend The Other 8 Hours wisely, you will TAKE BACK your precious 16 hours stolen from you by work and sleep.

You will be doing what you love . . . in your sleep. Get it!

Now you have 24 hours to live. Enjoy!

Anything without cost is generally unappreciated. Therefore, Har-old, if you truly believe in the phrase, “time is money,” then why don’t you learn something from jobs and put a monetary value on your time hourly?

Billionaire by 46, right? Well, from your age now until you’re my age, calculate the monetary value of each hour. Do the math!

For example, if every hour is worth a $100k to you, ask yourself, “Is what I’m about to do in this hour worth wasting $100k on?” Because ever since you stated your worth, 2 billion, anything that even resembled a waste of time costed you $100k. This will work better WHEN? you plan your days in advance. You know, that self-organization day thing???

Futuristically yours,

Har+new

Wealth At The Push Of A Button

Dear Har-old,

If you were a footer and I always talked to you about my various cars named after different women, would you get upset?

If you were single and I always talked to you about being in this great romance, would you get upset?

If you were in a job that you hated and I always talked to you about doing what I love, would you get upset?

No to all three, right? Instead  you will enjoy it and get inspired by it. And that’s something I always liked about you. You are money conscious, therefore, this will not work on you. However, when I talk to poverty conscious people about my nice cars, about my love life and about my dream job, they get upset. Why? You want to know why? Because I’m pushing their buttons. It’s not about me and my wealth. It’s about them not being okay with wealth, which makes them dislike seeing it flaunted by others.

Dr. Joe Vitale said,

If there’s something in your life that is pushing your hot buttons that is probably an area of a belief that needs to be released.

So, I should only flaunt my wealth in front of money conscious people, right? No!

I LOVE flaunting my wealth in the faces of the poverty conscious. Why? Because I’m trying to get them to realize the button is not external; it’s inside them. It’s their inner hot button. I’m trying to help them dissolve their inner limits. These people have low prosperity IQ’s because they have been miseducated for years by low salary teachers-their parents, the church, their friends, television, their environment. These “students” don’t raise their hand and question any of these common limiting beliefs about money. They just let other people think for them. And the scary part about this is the teachers are teaching and the students are learning at an unconscious level. So, the only way to become aware of these beliefs is acknowledging (writing it down) when someone or something pushes your hot button.

I mean, look at you! You were raised around nothing but poverty conscious people and you never let their penny thoughts rub against your fourth quarter.

The Joker said,

It’s not about money. It’s about sending a message.

And the message the money conscious is sending to the poverty conscious is hidden in their “flaunting of wealth.”

Take A Leap Of Faith

Dear Trista,

You have it in you to produce extraordinary results, so quit putting yourself second place at the race!!!  People feed off of your careless attitude when you strive to reach your goals, they are your cheerleaders beckoning you to win whilst the haters . . . are haters. If you have them then you must be doing something right.

Take a look at your little brother! He’s in ROTC and you are still back in the college saying that you’re going to join the military because you are waiting on a so-called bachelors degree to be an officer? Bullshit! I call total bullshit whether it’s a good idea or not. You should’ve been willing to take up on the offer when the pie was being served . . .so for now you can get away with that bullshit answer, but later when you have it . . . are you going to take that leap? The leap that will define your whole life and judge you based on your fears. Will this fear be the one that you’ve been dreaming of the whole time you’ve been making plans for it? Or will it be the one to your deathbed praying for more life?

I’d like to think it be your deathbed because there’s no time to waste in this life and you’ve made a decision. People don’t even get that far sometimes, so feel blessed with the presence of your spiritual leader guiding you in the right direction.

YOU WILL SUCCEED and BE GREAT.

Knock ‘em dead today. Get shit done!

FY,

Back Bone Of Steel

Dear Trista,

Life so far has been a tangled web full of disappointment and clarity, but in order to get through the Halloween woods once more, you must look past the gloomy trail into the gingerbread forest. The job search is hard because you are barely beginning a conquest that will lead you far into success. The employers are bouncing at you because you are their ideal candidate for the brain washed associate realm. Just pick the easiest way to put a smile on your face rather than frown, even if the dollar signs are higher on one side than the other. Get through the day and breathe deep because you survived another minute, and accomplished far more than you’ll ever know.

Futuristically yours,

Overcompensation


James W. Dean Jr. on Citizen Kane

This psychological study of the making of a publishing empire is based on the life of William Randolph Hearst, whose overwhelming drive for business success was based on compensating for his abandonment by his parents.

Patricia Chui on The Social Network

The Social Network starts with a breakup — Mark Zuckerberg’s (Jesse Eisenberg) breakup with his girlfriend Erica Albright (Rooney Mara). In the movie, Erica grows exasperated with Mark’s arrogant attitude and dumps him. This leads to a long night in which Mark gets drunk, blogs vitriolically about Erica and then invents Facemash, a site that lets users rank Harvard women by comparing photos from the college’s dormitory directories (or face books). And this, eventually, sparks his idea for Facebook.

… Zuckerberg invented Facebook to impress/get over his ex-girlfriend …

Overcompensation.

Har-old, for losing Tiera, win with the Yeebizan. Please!

Even if it’s to just get her attention.

Arrrggghhh … you disappointed me. You. She … she was the …

Futuristically yours,

Har+new

P.S. I started this blog to help you. Now I’m thinking about taking it away from you. I’m so disappointed in you!

OMG! It’s You! Do You Know Who You Are?!

Dear Har-old,

Andrew Carnegie said,

You will discover that the cause of success is not something separate and apart from the man; that it is a force so intangible in nature that the majority of men never recognize it; a force which might be properly called the ‘other self.’ Noteworthy is the fact that this ‘other self’ seldom exerts its influence or makes itself known excepting at times of unusual emergency, when men are forced, through adversity and temporary defeat, to change their habits and to think their way out of difficulty.

Har-old, you have forced yourself to discover your “other self,” your faith entity, me, the future you. In doing so, you have dethroned your fear entity. I am now king! However, as Napoleon Hill’s “other self” said,

That fear-motivated ‘old self’ is not dead; it has merely been dethroned. And it will follow you around wherever you go, awaiting a favorable opportunity to step in and take charge of you again. It can gain control of you only through your thoughts. Remember this, and keep the doors to your mind tightly closed against all thoughts which seek to limit you in any manner whatsoever, and you will be safe.

I could say, “respect your elders.” Me! I could say, “respect yourself.” Me! Blah. Blah. Blah. The truth is, you are in full control of me, which leads to why I’m writing you. Remember the famous photograph from Back To The Future of  Marty’s headless brother? Yeah … well … uh … I just lost an arm and a leg … figuratively. 50 million dollars just disappeared, Har-old! Even in the future, money can’t grow wings and fly off. YOU ROBBED ME! How??? By wasting time! I am taking charge. The following are 13 subjects and summaries, in order of importance, I need you to master:

  1. Time Manager Revolutionary – The time I kill is killing me.
  2. Genius Level Planner – Think and feel beyond the present moment.
  3. Fine Decision Maker – Get in the habit of reaching decisions quickly and definitely, and changing them slowly, if at all.
  4. Freedom Fighter – Lower level of inhibition.
  5. Action Figure - DO IT NOW!
  6. Master of Emotions – A fixed positive response.
  7. Prisoner of Patience – Sit and watch the grass grow.
  8. Bookish Applicant - Too often what we read and profess becomes a part of our libraries and our vocabularies, instead of becoming a part of our lives. (You’re wasting your time reading if you’re NOT applying.)
  9. Great Communicator (questioning and listening) – A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while, he knows something. Questions are more powerful than statements will ever be.
  10. Artist of Sex Transmutation - The transmutation of sex energy calls for will power, to be sure, but the reward is worth the effort.
  11. Body Guard - The hungrier one becomes, the clearer one’s mind works.
  12. Master Mind – Success in the higher bracket of achievement is something that can be had only by taking others along with you.
  13. Master of Appearances – Make your face as malleable as the actor’s.

Subsequent letters I write will expand on the summaries. Applying subject 12, I will share author duties with other bright futures.

As Napoleon Hill said,

With the help of others, you can accomplish in one year it will take you a lifetime to complete if you relied solely on your own efforts for success.

And like the tagline on 43things.com says,

Changing your life is hard. Doing it by yourself is harder.

Although, I still believe being selfish is under-rated, I know this will bring us closer.

Futuristically yours,

Har+new
