Die meisten Situationen der modernen Welt lassen sich mit Furchtlosigkeit besser meistern. (Hier insbesondere Straßenanekdoten) But if you really paid attention to 50’s music, there was always more there than just clubbing, beefing and hustling. 50 Cent dropped a lot of gems throughout the years for the people who were really paying attention. But for those that weren’t, they saw him as the super controversial celebrity that hated everyone.I’m extremely comfortable with the concept of competition. I don’t care if it’s music, TV, clothes, liquor, or sneakers: if I’m looking to get into a space that someone else is already occupying, watch how fast I turn it into a competition. Some people shy or even run away from challenge, but I always stroll confidently toward it.” 50 Cent Give yourself the opportunity to identify something different. You’re going to find things you think you can’t live without are actually standing between current you and the best you. When you break those habits, you’ll be surprised by how much more you can accomplish in life and put everything you have into your work. Say you, like most people, are afraid of public speaking, but your job frequently requires it. Maybe you find a workaround – such as having a coworker present in meetings –or simply avoid any voluntary public speaking. Confidence is great, but too much of it can make a fighter vulnerable. Before a fight, a boxer should have butterflies. They should be a little nervous. They should feel like they’re about to run into someone who’s going to try to kill them, because that’s exactly what’s going to happen.” 50 Cent

No matter what situation or setting you find yourself in, you don’t ever want to depend on anything—or any other person—to make you feel in control and comfortable. That sense of confidence should always come from within. Not from an external source.” 50 Cent Seeing someone who seemed content and free yet was doing something very simple made him wonder if that dude was beating him at lifeYou can only get true fulfillment and happiness from enjoying the achievement you made happen yourself.” 50 Cent If you choose to overcome it, you don’t have to do it alone. Speak to someone. Get advice or mentorship. If you’re afraid of a physical danger, maybe you need to hire protection. If your fear is speaking up in a meeting, you can benefit from simply talking about it to a trusted friend, colleague, or mentor. His bully reputation and cutthroat vibe are in great contrast here. He seems to be a businessman first. You learn a bit more on his competitive side and his insecurities, and he does seems to admit his mistakes and reflect on them. I gained a lot of respect for him.

I looked up his wealth yesterday (not that it really mattered, I was just curious), he isn’t the wealthiest by a long stretch, HOWEVER, it sounds like he has created more wealth than the richest hip hop artist/mogul on that list.... Cent is one of my favorite entertainers, although he can be controversial there is a method to his madness. He is relentless and always gets things done and that is what matters in the end: RESULTS. The second best part of the book is that 50 cents is a highly intelligent individual. You can tell that he got to where he is because he knows how to read individuals, groups, and societal shifts and adapts accordingly. I love that he speaks to the fact that you can never stop growing and changing. He saw that he was going to fall off as a musician, because they all do, and pivoted to other pursuits.Finally, just do the thing. Preparation and counsel are important, but eventually you have to take the leap. Overpreparing is just another way of avoiding, so rip off the bandage and make it happen. There’s no happily ever after. No matter how many records I sell, cases of liquor I move, and hit TV shows I create and executive-produce, there’s never going to be a moment where I say ‘Okay, this is the end of the road. I’ve finally made it.’ and then take my foot off the pedal.” So first ask yourself, What am I afraid of? Then ask whether the risks of confronting your fear are more important than the potential upside. Chances are, if you’re honest with yourself, you’ll find that the risks are worth it. At the end of the day, you can bet on a lot of games, ideas and even people. But the only sure thing you can always count on 100 percent of the time is ‘yourself.’ His idea of hiding his street persona because he loved he grandma is not logical- if he really loved his grandma he wouldn’t lie to her
