the advice most people give you, is to be yourself.

on this website most people shrug it off and say it's afc advice. yes, it might be advice from an afc, but let's break this down and see that there is a certain truth to it.

being yourself: stay true to you. everyone has principles. correct? whether it's not letting a girl get away with cheating, not letting the girlfriend have guys over her house alone, even if it's her friend - we all have some sort of principle in one form or another.

you have your own unique style. everyone is born in their own special way. have you ever seen a white boy or an asian boy say ni99a (put 9's just in case there's a censor) just because they want to be like something they're not? it's ridiculous. you were born how you are. make the best of it. learn to love yourself the way you are. of course, we all have flaws but they can always be worked on. a new haircut, working out, shaving, the clothes you wear. there's a lot of things you can do to bring out the best look in you.

rule 1: stay true to your principles. never let them go for ANYONE, even if it's your soulmate.

rule 2: be true to yourself. be happy with who you are. nobody will ever be exactly like you. sometimes you wish you were like someone else. it's not necessary, because when you're comfortable with yourself, and it's appealing, other people begin to want to be like you. don't hide under a mask. show the real you. what do you want to be known as? the charismatic guy who walks in a room, gets hugs from all the girls, and hand daps from all the guys? sounds good. work on it.

rule 3: before you even step out and begin to date girls, have your life in check. make sure you can maintain it. and when you pick your girlfriend, make sure it's someone who will respect your principles, who will respect you, and will let you live your life without her interference.

rule 4: get to know everyone, but pick your friends wisely. when i walk into a club with my friends, they're all people who share the same goals, and interests as me. that's why when i hear "there's another dj and i want to compete with him," i shake my head, because those are the types of people you would want to get to know better. maybe you both like to workout, or play ball. you never know. get to know EVERYONE, because you don't know the real them until you find out for a fact. and then when you've evaluated and seen from your options, pick the ones you want. get closer with them, chill places. talk on the phone sometimes, meet up. do what you need to do. when the girls aren't around, you're men's should be there. always find time to make your bonds with your friends closer.

well that's it from off the top of my head, there's more but i couldn't get them all down in this thread. if there's something that should be put in here that i didn't put, feel free to add on. comments are welcomed with open arms.
