I admire work ethic. I think that it should be reinforced throughout our neighborhoods…everybody should work hard. You have to be diligent about what you want. Practice makes perfect. You have to apply yourself. You have to motivate yourself. You have to do it for yourself by yourself.

Chicago, it’s good to be home!
Michelle and I built the Obama Presidential Center to be a place where people of all ages can learn, play, and work – and we can't wait to welcome you all later this week!
It is good to hear Kobe Bryant’s testimony about Michael Jackson. He was shocked when MJ told him that when practicing, he usually dances until he can’t dance 🕺 anymore. That’s how the legend was working so hard, and that changed Kobe’s mindset!
Elon Musk sparked a major online conversation by sharing a unique viewpoint on parental responsibility and choice.
He pointed out that because children cannot choose to be born, the decision to bring them into the world is made entirely by their parents.
Therefore, the people who choose to have children must take full accountability for that choice.
Under this perspective, children do not owe their parents anything in return for being raised and cared for.
Instead, mothers and fathers have an absolute duty to provide unconditional love, guidance, and support throughout a child's upbringing.
This idea completely flips traditional expectations, where parents often look for appreciation or future support from their offspring.
Musk’s comments have pushed people to rethink the deep meaning of family dynamics and what it truly means to raise a human being.
The viewpoint challenges old social habits and encourages a more selfless approach to parenting.
By removing the idea of debt from the parent-child relationship, this philosophy emphasizes that caring for the next generation is a profound duty rather than an investment meant to bring personal rewards later in life.

One of my fav MJ performances ever because you can really hear his kid voice transitioning into his adult voice. The way his brothers look at him with pride…ugh 🥹
