“Just don’t lose sight. The true most valuable thing in this life is time and the people that you spend time with. So don’t spend time with people that you don’t want to spend time with. And if you’re one of those people who are worried about what other people think about you, take those people and be like Michael Jordan; just frickin’ hate everybody that talks any kind of shit about you and keep that in the back of your mind. Remember that they’re the crabs in the pot that will never get out of their own way.”
