[Ohene]

My boy is putting me on this movie and I'm skeptical. I just cant fukk with this kinda shyt lol.

 

[yo moms]

It's called Placebo effect.

I liked The Secret up until they started blaming poor people for being poor

the secret is bullshyt. its the type of shyt where if u wanna believe in it, subconsciously or not ull convince urself that its real and makes sense and that things happening are a result of it no matter how illogical or unrealistic ur reasoning is. its like believing in God.

Andrew carnegie believed in it and he was the richest man in the world at one point.. he beleived in it so much he paid someone to devote their whole life to studying it and writing about it... that person died rich.

Dale carnegie believed in it and he was the richest man in the world at one point.. he beleived in it so much he paid someone to devote their whole life to studying it and writing about it... that person died rich.

Is that the dude who made that how to win friends and influence people book?

Man...people keep telling me to read that book. Like 4 ppl in the last year. My ex girlfriend used to be hostile as fukk starting petty arguments. We broke up as she transferred to a school overseas and once we'd email it was like she transformed. I'd kick some realness to her and she'd take it in stride. I was like

Turns out that some dude in Nigeria put her on the book . All I had to do was give this chick a damn book .But when I kick the same shyt its condescending. A part of me thinks it'd be the same old shyt after a while. Month later my friend from school told tme about the book. Then another person months after that.

But I dunno, I feel like it takes a certain person to really fukk with this shyt you know? There's a predisposition. Some people are naturally skeptical and no matter how much they try it won't be believed. Me even typing this is an example of the natural skepticism

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

all it is is a different way of looking at things....

if you really think about it...we spend the majority of our time thinking about things we dont want...all the secret is saying is think about what you do want...and work toward it

and I can respect it. But why do folks need a book/documentary to tell them this? lol

because a lot of people dont realize these things....ive watched the secret...i have it on mp3 too...i also read books that say pretty much the same thing....

you get caught up in life sometimes and you dont think...im getting better at controlling how i think and speak...it takes time...and practice

 

[andre patton]

i see it all as a motivational tool. this type of motivation works for some people

i think a lot of this shyt takes advantage of the weak minded tho, for sure. everyone that talks to me about The Secret are those "get rich quick" type nikkas that are always onto the next scheme. or the type of people that think those that are rich just have the cheat codes to life or some shyt that they need to hack into so they can be rich too.

like damn...whats so hard about clearly mapping out a plan...then sticking to your plan?
