    Work, take care of your children well and plan.

    Look at the general.  Rise above them, just a little (not so much they are intimitated) and meet a need that needs to met.
    Plan ahead financially for the future.
    As much as you sometimes wish it, chances are, the sky won't fall tomorrow.

    Yes.  Just look at him.  You are right.  I think he has a fake mustache and eyebrows and he is an immigrant Mexican trying to stay hidden from view.

    DO NOT GO TO THIS GENERAL.  He is a fake general and a terrorist.

    He is a fine piece of human. I think he has used his celebrity status for the good and tried to make the world a better place, even if it is in a little way. :) :)

    He had to be successful.  Who could afford to dress him?  His feet must be HUGE!!

    Excellent point.  He would have a really hard time being a small-time criminal that is for sure.  How could he rob a bank? 

    He would have to be an entrepreneur like PDiddy.  A fake gangsta.  Or better still, Kanye West.  But, we all know that Shaq is just a normal genius not a "special" genius like Kanye and Donald.

    That is all we can ask for of anyone.  Do small good or be like Trump and do huge chaos.  

    We are all capable of doing small good things according to our measure.  I think Shaq has done major good things though.  I think he contributes a lot of money for helping kids better themselves, etc.

    Success is where preparation meets opportunity.  Prepare yourself for the next great opportunity.  It may come, it may not.  That part is not up to you.  Be in the right place at the right time, with the right stuff.

    Hard work and learning.  Learn how to do what you have to do well and then learn a little more beyond that. All of which goes much better when we appreciate the situations where we are able to do those things.  And are thankful for them.
