The song made by K. Michelle couldn't have been phrased any better, "Can't raise a MAN!" Too many times in the world today do we find women attempting to raise a boy to a man! As the picture states boys will be boys, until someone TEACHES them to be MORE!
Never allow them to settle for being okay. Always strive for GREATNESS and bring your A game! Turn down for what should be engrained into their heads.
I was recently at a restaurant and a patron beside me complained about everything from the beginning. At first he wanted a HOT drink, secondly he wanted a discount on the cold drink and thirdly he said that his food was okay (the bun was not good, tomatoes not crispy, meat not done enough). So the waiter asked him what he could do to make it better, to which he replied, nothing it's okay and it's okay for things to be just okay sometimes. I was furious because that's what's wrong with the world today!!! Everything and everybody is pleased with things being just okay!
The new buzz words are it is what it is! Well my reply is, it ain't what it ain't! It ain't good enough to just be OKAY any longer. It is no longer okay for your pants to sag, for your grades to be poor, for your friends to be thugs, for you to try drugs, for you to sell drugs, for you to get tattoos that cover your entire body, for you to downgrade women or for you to shoot and kill one another. The list could go on forever however, my point is that we can no longer accept less than your absolute best!
Now is the time for us to show our young men how to be clean cut, honest, hardworking, dependable, gentlemen, intelligent, boyfriends that turn into husbands, high school graduates that become college graduates and most of all chain/cycle breakers that set the stage for future generations that no longer subscribe to mediocrity!
The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that our aim is too low and we make it.
-Michelangelo
