Gang.
I met this young man in the grocery store. Said he’s willing to do some work because he is in a rough patch in life. I get it. I got him some food, exchanged contacts and wished him the best.
The VERY NEXT DAY, he’s begging for money. He has three sons, but can’t even get himself up. I offered to help him find a yob so he can get on his feet and haven’t heard from him since.
I don’t help people that aren’t willing to do the work. ESPECIALLY men. There is no excuse in 2025 for you not to be on the grind.

Willie Pep: “The hardest part when the spotlight goes away is the money. One minute you used to earning forty, fifty grand a year, then boxing’s over and you’re looking at a job paying nine thousand if you’re lucky. That part hits you fast.
“I used to walk around with hundreds in my pocket. Sometimes a couple thousand on me like it was nothing. Now I’m counting what I got. Ten dollars. Twelve. Maybe fifteen.
“I been married five times and divorced five times. Every time, the money went with it. I never learned. Soon as a woman told me she loved me, I believed it. Next thing I know, I’m married again.
“I was always a sucker for a good line. And in the end, that cost me more than any fight ever did.”
