I am a child of God first. I am also a man that has learned many things in life. I must say that I have committed alot of stupid mistake. A lot of people think that I am stuck up or very conceited. That's not true about me. If you have taken time out and talk to me and not judge a book by its cover you would know that I am a down to earth person. I love my family more then anything. I have three beautiful young ladies in my life. My mother and my two sister. I also love my father and brother too. I am not going to lie @ time I have my moments with my problems in life but I finally realize life is too short to be worrying about other things that throw you off. I also love my black and beautiful sisters out their who are doing positve things in their life. My father has taught me that the highest virtue is not to achieve, but to give. Yet one cannot give that which has not been created. Creation comes before distribution- or there will be nothing to distribute. The need of the creator comes before the need of any possible beneficiary. Yet we are taught to admire the second-hander who dispenses gifts he has not produced above the man who made the gifts possible. We praise an act of charity. We shrug at an act of achievement.I notice some gifts are big, others are small. Gifts from the heart are the best gifts of all.My family gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, they believe in me. The bond that links your true family is not just blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. The road to success is not straight. There is a curve called Failure, a loop called Confusion, speed bumps called Friends, red lights called Enemies, caution lights called Family. You will have flats called Jobs. But, if you have a spare called Determination, an engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith, a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called Success
