I’m a man. I know things. I type them. I move on.

[Rob V 🇺🇸 🦅 🎸 @RobVolatile]

So this week I will be celebrating a birthday. I’ve experienced so much in my 53 years on this planet and consider myself both blessed and lucky. My primary motivation being on this platform is to respectfully share ideas, points of views, and maybe a few laughs. In that spirit, I have compiled a short list of truths that I have found to be of the utmost importance in life and in business and keys to happiness as I define it:

1. Your spouse is the most important decision you will ever make.

I am blessed to have a wife that is 100% the key to my success. She is more than just a wife. She is a best friend, a partner, a sounding board, and an ethical and moral compass. She is always a part of the solution and even at her worst she is never part of the problem. I trust her implicitly with everything and I would gladly die for her if needed. Our marriage transcends love and I give her a lot of the credit in shaping the man I have become. She is invaluable and the most important person in my life. (My daughter is too, but for different reasons)

2. Treat everyone exactly the same:

I have learned that I am no better than anyone else. I treat everyone I meet the exact same way. I have met and know some very important people in the world and I treat the guy behind the counter at a drug store the exact same way I treat them. I operate on the pre qualification that people are generally good and seek that in my interactions with them. Once in a while I will meet someone not worthy of my respect and I simply walk away and engage no further.

You want to know who someone is…listen to how they talk to a waiter. I’ve used this in business for decades and it’s never failed.

3. Money is not everything:

If you seek to be incredible at whatever you chose to do personally and professionally, you will be satisfied and often end up with plenty of money. Money will find passionate and effective people. So don’t be so concerned with the amount you are able to make today, concern yourself with being surrounded by other people who can enhance your knowledge and goal of being awesome. You can’t do it alone, and money should not be the only qualifier in any business decision.

4. Integrity is critical:

Integrity is what you do when no one is looking. Integrity is a critical possession in that it can be lost with one bad decision. It is not easy, but nothing worth having ever is. Integrity is a cornerstone of trust and genuineness. Genuine people have integrity and cannot be genuine without it. Trustworthy people have integrity and cannot be trustworthy without it.

5. Loyalty matters:

Loyalty is an outward expression of integrity. Loyalty is important in every aspect of your personal and business life. Be careful who you are loyal to, because if you intend to be a loyal person, make certain that person is deserving of it.

6. You are who you are close with:

The people who you are loyal to and close with are in many ways a mirror. You will, and should be judged by the company you keep. Friends and close associates are very important much like who you choose as a spouse.

7. Pay attention during the tough moments:

I’ve learned that almost anyone can be of good intention and spirit in the best of times. Pay close attention to everyone around you during times of chaos or trouble. These are the moments that they will reveal exactly who they are.

I hope you read this post and maybe took away something that will make a difference to you. God bless.

@GadSaad But…but…

My Suicidal empathy still feels sorry for them as I long to reach out my hand to greet them.

Your country had many opportunities for a long period of time to avoid the now, inevitable conclusion.

All of the pearl clutching and deeply emotional arguments have ne bearing on how this all ends. It may not be now, or even in 5 years, but it is inevitable.

France will either:

1. After failing economically and stopping all the welfare…France falls to its invaders in a bloody civil war that ends with a New France that is likely a poor and Muslim

2. The French understand that the time is short to retain their country. They must ruthlessly expel anyone who has entered their country in the past 20 years as well as lock down Islam.

Thats it. That’s the only 2 conclusions available. It would have been much easier and much more humane to have addressed this properly over decades…but you failed. And here you are.

@elonmusk @WesternLensman Musk doesn’t deserve this bullshit.

Not even a little bit.

@ojessie__ Don’t pay for the gas and see how long it lasts.

Prayer for the dying.

This dude was awesome. The music I played I did not listen to all of the time. I loved Sting, Steely Dan, Seal, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye.

I remember playing shows back in the day…some time before the sun rose…listening to this music to mellow out.

@Ryan_Parkerrr Lmao…compared to the cost of them in dollars?

Hell of a deal.

Here a fun thing to consider: I am cross dominant ambidextrous. My left hand I use for dexterity, eating, writing, etc. My right hand I use for power, throwing, hitting, etc.

I play guitar right handed. But my left hand has always been twice as fast as my right…if not more. I also attacked the guitar with my right hand which is my power hand.

Ended up playing like Lynch, EVH.

@betty_egg Yep. There is no doubt about that. Satrianni, Vai, Bettencourt, Malmsteen…all technical masters as well.

@ACPMain Reminder:

Communism has failed everywhere it has been tried.

And as an added bonus 200 million people died!

@20th_Centurygal Freddie Mercury clears them all.

But that’s a good list.

@SenSanders Climate change.

Conveniently, the climate has been changing every minute of every day for a billion years.

And even more conveniently the only thing that can stop it (it can’t be stopped) is in the form of taxes and silliness that amounts to nothing.

@danabeers @BarstoolPhilly I appreciate AJ and his contributions to the team and the SB. That will never change. I don’t care that he left or forced his way out. I wish him luck.
