I was having a conversation with a friend from high school who is now a teacher and we were discussing the youth in his class. He asked them where do they see themselves in the future. One kid said he wanted to be a hustler. Ok. Stop. What the fuck is wrong with this picture?!?!
These words should never be coming from the mouth of a child in regards to their future. People need to raise their children correctly. Monitor what they do, what they watch and listen to. Know more about their friends, cause this notion came from somewhere. Even if your family members or you personally are a hustler, you should want more, want better for you child. The minute you have a "seed" get a plan for the future... yours and theirs.
Not to get preachy, but education, military, learning a trade. Dont give me that "Life is a hustle" crap, cause you know what I mean.Work hard get yours. Granted there is (a little) money to be made, but no real future in it. Stay in the game long enough and you end up in jail or dead. Then you who will be there to raise your youngin? Not You!
Those that think "I'm in to do abc and then Im out" never really get out because abc turn into xyz. Granted I personally thought about doing it (for the money), but maybe Its the way I was raised, maybe I didnt have the cojones, maybe I overthought the situation, but I never went through with it. It seemed like the risk outweighed the reward...plus I was over 18 and not trying to do adult time if bagged.
I have hustlers in my family, in my circle of friends and no I do not think this is an acceptable line of employment. The hustlers that I know are over the age of 18 and therefore are abke to decide their own path in life. Pass or fail in life, it's in their hands.
Now, no disrespect to the hustlers that are on the grind, but this is not a good look for a kid. our society has glorified the criminal mentality to the poing that a child that is 12-15 thinks this is a viable future.
What are your thought?
