good point Tony,\
to pivot the question.
What does it take to get on a Barack Obama level, a Condeleeza Rice level, a Susan Rice level, a Colin Powell level, a Rod Paige level, a Ron Brown level, a Douglas Wilder level?
How does a brother make it to the top? Is it simply a combination hardwork, blessings, and luck.
I don't know. I feel the fact that I am a country guy from small-town MS forces me to work super harder to get respect. I sit around and see a bunch of these young established cats being groomed for positions of power and I try to figure out how can I get the spot they are going for. Right now, the only thing I know is work and hustle.
You’re asking a question similar to;
What does it take to get to the NBA, NFL etc etc
I’m sure you could tell me.
BUT
I bet you know nba, and nfl caliber athletes that never
Made the league. Why?
How did Obama become president?
Review his story and see if his life his journey could be duplicated
By you or anyone else.
Pops only few people ever reach these levels
It’s possible tho. Even if not probable
I won’t call names but I’ve met 2 super famous
People, who you see every day in the media
I met them before they were famous
They are some of the richest and most famous people
Out here. So anything can happen believe that.
But KNOW
Opportunity favors the prepared mind
And having high goals is great
But is it the goal you want
Or is it the happiness you think obtaining that goal will
Bring?
what is the your
Ultimate goal? To have Power? To have lots of money
To be happy?
All of that being said Keep trying, keeping trying
Different methods, and all of the traditional ones, network
Etc etc
The job that will make you the most happy may not even exist
Right now. KEEP GOING!!
Remember you can’t find Gold in a Silver mine
Find a Gold mine and dig, dig dig!!!!!!
Why are you even in Washington anyway?
This may be where your answers lie?
