Life Lessons from G.O.D. (Game On Dude)

I know you've been waiting for this post. I thought it might come in January, but alas, it had to come early, and I was not prepared. But I spent the last few days trying to write it, and nothing really sounded right. So I wrote down a list, and because those are popular on the internet, I figured I'd just leave it this way - with some illustrations, of course.

Life Lessons from G.O.D.

- Smile when you're enjoying your job

 

- Black accessories are sophisticated and go with everything

 

  

- Never spit the bit when you're headed

 

 

- When you know you're the best, set the pace - make the rest chase you

 

 

- Work with a diverse group of people to reach the top

 

 

- Take advantage of the little opportunities that fall out of your path

 

 

- Grit and grind make up for where pure speed falls short

 
 
- When the opportunity arises, go for the 3-peat
 
 

 

- Leave your mark on Hollywood

 

 

- Go all-in every time: make your losses as epic as your wins

Thanks for the memories, Dude - I'll Miss You!
