Steal These Thoughts!
It’s no secret that social media gets a lot of negativity and for good reason in some cases, yet due to this narrative we tend to not focus on the good it can bring to our lives. Yes, these platforms provide an opportunity to connect with anyone we want (whether that is real connection is another topic) and with this connection comes an opportunity to share a wealth of knowledge across our communities.
If there’s one quote that has stood out for me over my lifetime so far and been somewhat of a guiding light, it is the one below that I heard from Brandon Lee in the early 90’s.
I believe it’s originally an extract from a book and was recited during the last interview that Brandon Lee ever gave, so it has some real poignance to it and a reminder for us all.

His latest album titled Scorpion, is his fifth major release in the past 8 years and is supported with another 5 mixtape releases in that timeline, so it’s safe to say Drake is one busy and creative chap.
