At my cousins grave sight 3/24/12
Trayvon Martin
We all know that I normally would be the first to jump on cases such as the Trayvon Martin case. First of all, Rest In Peace to this young man and my prayers go out to his family and friends. To why the shooter Zimmerman wasn’t prosecuted or arrested, I don’t know. But I am tired of people wanting me to support my country if my country won’t support me. Racism is still in same from 1960 to now, if you don’t agree, it doesn’t matter because you haven’t seen the world from my eyes.
Success Plan From Ricky #1
A part of being successful is not allowing yourself to have a Plan-B!

The Difference Between Ricky Smith and the rest.
A lot of people in this world search endlessly for some complex, magical formula to understand why some people are successful and why others are not. But it really just boils down to the concept of Productivity. That you’re gonna apply the MOST amount of effort to the BEST of your ability in the allotted time that you have.
All successful people realize that TIME is the most precious commodity out there. It’s the one thing that you can’t buy, or ever buy back. So these successful people realize…. that they have an allotted time to perform a given task, so they have to give it their absolute all in doing that task. Because going through the motions is the most disadvantageous thing that you could do. Often, when you do something wrong the first time you have to go back, and do it right the second time.
Whereas if you did it right the first time, you never have to do it again. All successful people realize that. That they’re going to give it their absolute all, and put in their heart and soul to any task they do, no matter how small, or how large it is. That they’re going to be the best person they can be while doing it. That they’re going to do it RIGHT.
The major difference is that the successful people do every single task RIGHT, while those who are not successful do it wrong.You could look at these professional Body Builders…. Jay cutler. Ronnie Coleman. Dexter Jackson. Flex Wheeler. Shawn Ray. Dorian Yates. Arnold Schwarzenegger. These guys are the best in their sport. A lot of people just disregard it as ‘they have the right genetics’ or ”those guys are just naturally big”. Maybe they’ll play the steroid card and say that “They cheated to get to where they’re at”
But what people don’t realize is that these men gave their HEART and their SOUL.
>Throughout every single REP,
>Throughout every single SET,
>Throughout every single GYM SESSION.
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. For weeks. For Months. For Years. For Decades. To get to where they are. They decided that they weren’t just going to go through the motions, but break through ALL mental barriers to get to where they wanted to be. And that’s the difference between the successful people and those who are not.
A lot of people think what they do in life is beneficial, but then they get frustrated when they don’t see the results that they want, that other people are getting. You could say to yourself “I went to the gym today, so i’m better because of it.”. Maybe so. But the question you have to ask yourself, is “What did I do in the gym today?”. You know? What DID you do in the gym today, and how did you do it?
You could complain that… you can’t build up your calf muscles. Or you can’t get a nice set of abs. Maybe you can’t burn fat, or build muscle. It’s your genetics that’s preventing you from getting what you want, right? But it’s really not about genetics as it is about the EFFORT, and doing the activity RIGHT.
This transfers throughout all aspects of life. Whether it’s working on your school work, or the business proposal at your job. Even the small things in life, like doing dishes, or cleaning the house. If you can’t clean the house right, how are you expected to run a Fortune 500 company right?
All successful people understand this. That they are going to give it their all throughout every single task that they have to do. Because Time is so precious. And they are going to do it right.
So I hope you understand this concept of Productivity better.
And now it’s time for You to ask yourself..
>WHAT am I going to do today?
But more importantly, You need to ask yourself
> HOW am I going to do it?
Christmas Eve
Today gentlemen, I am honored to coach you
More honored to be leading you onto the field of battle
But theres another honor to be bestowed upon you
And that is in the answer that comes with that question:
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Thats right, and you need to remember that all through this game
I will conquer what has not been conquered
Defeat will not be in my creed
I will believe what others have doubted
I will always endeavor to pull esteem, honor, and respect out of my team
I have trained my mind and my body will follow
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
I will acknowledge the fact that my opponent does not expect me to win
But I will never surrender
Weakness will not be in my heart
I will look to my comrades and to those who are a part of me in this world and those who have trained
me
And I will draw strength from them
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
I will gladly go out into the field of battle
And I will move in everything I can do
And I will reach my field of battle by any means at my disposal
And when I get there, I will arrive violently
I will rip the heart from my enemy, and leave it bleeding on the ground
Because he cannot stop me
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
To my side I have comrades, comrades that have been with me through thick and thin
Who have sacrificed their blood, sweat and tears
Never will I let them fall, never will I let them down, and I will never leave an enemy behind
Because our opponent does not know my heart
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
No one will deny me, no one will define me
And no one will tell me who and what I am and can be
Belief will change my world
It has moved continents, it has moved countries, it has put men on the moon
And it will carry me through this battle
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Defeat, retreat: those are not in my words
I dont understand those definitions
I dont understand when things go wrong
I dont understand mistakes
But I do understand this:
I understand victory,
And I understand never surrendering
No matter how bad things go my heart and my mind will carry my body through limits and weakness
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Today will be that day
Not tomorrow, not next week, but right now, right here
In your house and in your homes
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
History will remember me
I will not let worrying affect my cause
I will define myself
I will write my own pages
And no one will tell me what I cannot be
I will never give up
Not until Ive given everything I got
Because who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
Who am I? I AM A CHAMPION!
