For those who don't know what a grind is. it's slang terminology for 'hard work'.. Now that we've gotten our hip hop 101 lesson for the day, let's get to business.. How many times have you asked someone "so what have you been up to" and their response is "working hard" or "i'm on my grind".. no your not. your not on your grind and you don't have to lie about it.. The main difference between those who succeed in this world and those that fail is hard work. effort. with a few exceptions of course.. so if everyone you speak to is 'working hard' then why are so many people stuck on the same shit.. Our society has a huge issue. we have this blue collar mentality, which isn't bad it's just out dated. we have this complex that causes us to want to use our hands instead of our heads.. if you were to come up with a great idea 20 years ago you could tell the people who are in your vacinity on a daily basis and that's it. but now you can come up with wacky ideas like myspace, youtube, dr.question's blog and you can reach the world
straight from home.. i laugh at the statisticians or so called 'experts' who come up with odds such as only 1 in 500,000 people will get a record deal. or 1 in 1 million will make it to the nba. what in the hell does that mean?.. those stats scare the ambition out of people.. what gives me the confidence to try so many different ideas besides the fact that i believe i'm very talented. is that 80% of people and maybe even more won't even attempt to compete at a very high level with anything in their lifetime. so who is on their grind for real?.. Being on your grind doesn't always have to translate to money either. at least not immediately.. a true grind takes time, that's why it's called a grind.. And in order to begin saying that your on one, there must be some type of progress taking place. it takes a mentality unlike any other to get down and fight for what's yours.. But deep down inside i guess people are really cowards and aren't willing to risk everything, and maybe even fall on your face for success.. that's the true definition of a 'grinder'.. So if that definition doesn't fit you it's ok. just get your pom poms out and cheer us on. shit, somebody's gotta make it happen.. what do you think?
