    85% of communication is non verbal....listen for tone and inflection

    sometimes you have to watch how a person says something to see what they are really saying.

    dont try to prove to someone that they are lying. let them continue to talk and they will reveal their intentions.

    most people know how to defend direct questions but cant defend indirect questions..so ask indirect questions and listen for direct answers you just have to learn what to listen for.(this one may be hard to learn for some people)
    Gotta watch that body language, that's why I like talking to people face to face regarding serious issues. And listen to the tone of the voice, it says a lot.
    And always trust you gut, if something don't feel right it ain't right.

    Wear condoms!

    Money doesn't change you, it just allows you to become who you really wanted to be w/ less consequences
    Your word means alot, don't become someone whose word is unreliable
    That "you can't trust nobody" thing is bullshit, if you can't trust anyone then you need to re-evaluate the people you keep around you
    Expand your horizons and perspective in life...it will make alot of things in your day to day life more clear
    If you're gonna cheat, cheat with someone who has just as much to lose as you do (make sure she got a man too etc.)

    Pralims is educatin' the youth out here........

    Only advice i got for youngers is start stacking now.............it's better to have a healty bank account/shoebox than have all the flyest garms........

    belee dat.......also learn a trade from young. Even if you don't pursue it, you can always fall back on it later on in life.

    I broke that shit down in another thread...niggas will fuck around and make the side chick their 2nd girlfriend instead of simply keeping her on the level of a chick they fuck...get to talking about their life, work, relationship problems etc...can't treat someone like more than a fuck buddy then be surprised when they act like it...a chick who got a man/life outside of you already knows the business, already knows how to get down and what information to keep away from you and never to ask you for

    let me add....that try to have you stackiin in an account...that way it will at least collect interest. leaving it in a shoebox leaves it open to fire and theft with nothing insured and it doesnt collect interest.

    Honestly:

    Success normally doesn't happen before failure.

    A good, honest deed can go a very long way.

    Someone is ALWAYS watching you.

    think about that tattoo before you get it. if you cant retire tomorrow then getting it where it cant be hidden is a fast ticket to failure.
    you should be embarrassed to say you been to jail, not braggin about it
    articulating your words doesnt mean you speak white
    no one cares if all you have to do is make one phone call to get your squad..better hope someone picks up or we'll see you for the bitch you are
    if you go to jail for trying to be tough...then dont become muslim for protect...nigga be tough
    its more honorable to take an ass whipping like a man than go to jail for shooting someone like a bitch because they was going to whip your ass

    more will follow again

    "Survival is common sense. Now get out there and live. Get that wett from behind your ears. You could learn some shit from me boy. If you ain't dead before I see you again."

    "Hell, you look uglier than last time. How the hell did you do that? You ain't learned nothing yet? Can't fend for yourself? Don't allow that fear of failure to control your life. A turtle that doesn't stick it's head out, won't go anywhere. Now get your grinch looking ass off my porch."

    "You ain't in jail yet, boy? You out there acting a fool I hear. I guess common sense ain't common after all, blood. You need to learn some respect. Respect is like currency. You give it and you will recieve it. So don't go treating people the wrong way or you'll get dealt with the wrong way. I catch you sneaking round my back door again I'll kill you, dead. Go on, now."

    "Look you little punk. Now I done told you bout playing with me. All that damn, energy to fight. That judge got just the place for people that like to fight. You think you, hard? C'mon, hit me. I'll let ya get one lick in. Hah!! Thought you had me, huh?! You ain't shit, boy! You think you tough, but I bet you ain't fucking nothing. That's why you fighting. You need to get some pussy. Ol' tender dick nigga. When I was your age, I had 6 of them, lined up. Find'em, fool'em, fuck'em, and forget'em. 4FL. Now get outta here cat lick."

    1. learn respect...no one needs to respect you until you earn it and give it
    2. respect your elders...one day you will become an elder if your lucky

    3. money and pussy will come...get your shit right first
    4. the hood does not have the toughest niggas
    5. learn that a wise man can paly stupid but a stupid man cant play wise
    6. you can learn a life lesson from a janitor...so never think you are above listening and learning
    7. past acomplishments and experience determine if you have confidence.. not just thinking you can do it
    8. a man that has to have his boys around him to be a thug is a real bitch
    9. you dont have to prove you aint a bitch...but you need to prove that your a man
    10. rap, bball and drugs aren't the only ways to make money.. thats nigga money and it aint gonna last long

    Know that as human beings we are people of habit, therefore never try to break anyone else's habits. Instead try to alter them and plant the seed that it was that person's idea, rather than your own.

    Ergo have the wisdom to know when this technique is being used on you as well.

    That's before he fell off. But that is so damn true about life. You really need to cut a lot of people off of your circle if you are going to progress.

    I'm picking up some gems in this thread..the homie pralims going in.

    I'm young but here's something I've learned in my travels:

    A wise man can learn from even a fool, but a fool won't learn from a wise man.
