“In Broad Daylight, Get Right.”

One of my favorite Mobb Deep quotes that solidifies what’s been on my mind lately.

Too many young people waste their time doing stupid shit, instead of being productive. I heard someone say that it takes about 10,000 hours, or roughly five years of your life in order to master the basics of the film industry. This is in addition to any school training you received. I tend to think this applies to most professions.

If you’re not willing to work hard while your friends are out having fun, going out, dating, getting married and having children, then you will never achieve greatness. If you can avoid all this, stay focused and make it out of your twenties still sane, then you’ll be rich beyond your wildest dreams. Rich in money, rich in power, rich in love, rich in family, rich in success. Like Mobb Deep says, “In Broad Daylight, Get Right” early on in life, so you don’t have to struggle later.

So Fuck My Twenties, I Have My Entire Life To Think About
