What Kind of Friend Are You?

Before anyone can say that they are a friend, we should first understand what it means to be a friend in the first place. Are you that friend that only calls when you need something? Are you that friend that checks in often to see how the other is doing? Are you that friend that only calls or texts when you have a problem and need to vent to someone? Are you that friend that always says ” oh we must get together and go out, but you say you are so busy, but your Facebook post show otherwise? Are you that friend that is always there regardless of what? Are you that friend that comes around once a year like the holidays? Are you that friend that never has time to talk or are you that friend that talks late into the night or early morning? Are you that friend that is happy for your friend(s) growth or are you that friend that stops speaking to them afterwards?

So before any of us say that we are friends, understand first what it means to be one!

Make It Right!

Not only should this man get the money being offered by the government, but it should be tax free! There is no amount of money that a person can receive that will give them back all the years they lost with their family, friends, their good name, and job. He should also have his benefits reinstated as if he was discharged from the service honorably and receive those benefits also!

A Look Back In History

Sarah Breedlove, known as Madam C. J. Walker, was an African American entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a political and social activist. Eulogized as the first female self-made millionaire in America, she became one of the wealthiest African American women in the country, “the world’s most successful female entrepreneur of her time,” and one of the most successful African-American business owners ever.

This is what I am talking about!!! Self-made millionaire! Just think about the ideas that you have stored up in your head.  If you were just to unleash them, where would they take you and where would you be?
