Learned early by watching how Dad transitioned from having house parties when I was really young to suddenly stopping it. When I was a teen I asked him why he stopped. And he said, people can can only harm you as close as you allow them to you. Meaning keep everybody out of your house when you have a family. You see their intentions when you got something they want. These so called friends of yours will want you to sabotage your life just as much as their doing their’s. Only keep people around you that will challenge you to grow and go forward. Everyone else will hold you back.

Your spirit will return to where its been an infinite amount of times. A place youve been to many many times a long long time ago

In my country, we once had a dictator who ruled for almost 30 years. He survived a few assination attempts and coups until he was ousted democratically. He died recently died aged 90+ and his head of press for over 40+ years (now aged 70+) said in a recent tv interview " A MAN HAS ONLY 2 FRIENDS, GOD AND MONEY"

If you play when you're a young man you're gonna struggle to make your savings grow and you'll be stuck at a low wage job possibly. Once you're stuck so to speak you can't switch career fields. The risk reward factor too high. Guess what and if you live below your means it'll be harder to get laid. Once you get the money or even some money you won't even wanna buy a woman a burger when you're on your small slow money grind. Don't even get me started. Wards best video yet.

Here I am 34 and still free🎉 . I said that to say this do not procrastinate finding your career and finding what you love. And do not waste your time with most friends. Because nine times out of ten like big ward said they are really your enemy or just an associate.. Stay out of the way. Find yourself a wife after you have found yourself!

I called up Triple A and they were there in less than 30 minutes,and the shop i went to fixed my oil by draining it.Only because i had money was i able to avoid a lot of the B.S.

My biggest regret is not investing even a tiny amount of money when I was 18+. That would have grown into some real bread 20 years later today. What's sad is they even taught me that in high school, I just ignored it.

BIG WARDDDDD ! I had no idea that MLK was 26 when he started the movement. That’s all I needed to hear!!!! I AM A YOUNG MAN At 28. Not an OLD BOY! Too many OLD BOYS OUT HERE!!

You hit the nail on the head with this message. And I'll say this to young fellas. Always surround yourself with older men that have their lives together. Surround yourself with people that are smarter than you. You would be surprised. The older guys getting ready to retire in a few want to see you young fellas make it and most have gotten over that childish hater mess. They want to see a young dude interested in learning. Start young fellas life is short and when you get your life in order making that $ pass that knowledge onto the next young ones coming up behind you. You will find out who you can trust and who to let walk. It works but you got to be ready to let some of your home boys go. They not gone want to see you trying to better yourself. They gone want you to stay on the same dead end road they on. Get ready mentally because you know they coming with the comments too. Big Ward has said it many times to get a degree in hvac, electrical, you can do lawn care you don't need a degree. Work for a company that is already established and you learn all you can from what the owner does to what they dude running the mower does. You will be on your way within a few years with your own business. Another thing is to do your research for grants, low interest loans to get started. But you got to have that knowledge first. You can't expect it to happen overnight either. It's going to take a few years to build up your business. But at the end of the day when you get a new customer all they are looking for is a respectable young man that knows what he's doing and does it well. Your customers will be your advertisement. They gone tell their family, their friends, people at church, people at their work. You all can do this. It's a choice you have to make. Am I going to run these streets the rest of my life and have nothing or am I going to get off my rearend and do something with my life while I am young and able. I hope I helped someone today. And young fellas find time for Jesus he's always got your back. Big Ward just keep them coming this world needs people to tell it just like you do. Blessings
