I Had Too Many Businesses That Are

The Always-connected Culture Isn't As Much A Contributor As Grace Might Think. The Nervous Mind, The Monkey Mind, Will Create Its Own Noise. It Doesn't Need A New Toy.

I Just Said Let's Get Some Poets On Tv. And When They Said That Sounded Unlikely, I Made It Worse. I Said, No Man, I Want To Put A Bunch Of Black Poets On Stage, Too. Some Latino Poets Who Barely Speak English And Asian Poets Who Can't Believe How Discriminated Against They Are. It Was Luck Nad Being In The Right Place. I Wasn't Saying Nothing Somebody Else Wasn't Saying But They Wouldn't Hear It From Them.

Many Of My Biggest Business Endeavors Were Failures Before They Became A Success. Some Failed For As Long As Six Years Before They Hit. Everyone Around Me Thought I Was Crazy. You Just Have To Stay At It.

Stay In Your Lane. If You're Good Enough, People Will Move To You.

No Matter How Rich You Are, You Cannot Transport Yourself To The Future Or The Past.
