Amor fati et memento mori. Tempus fugit, sic carpe diem. Constantia vincit omnia.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

Human nature applies in many environments.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

Be thankful for the people that crossed you and betrayed you. They taught you many valuable lessons.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

If a man shows a flaw never ignore that flaw.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

Never underestimate the enemy.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

There is no outside force that can dictate or place your value. You alone create value and you alone apply your value. No matter where you are or where you go, your value will go with you.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

One thing about time is that it stops for no man. Time is your ally.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

I’ve played the fool. I’ve watched and learned. I’m a student of life.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

I don’t opt into the given, unspoken power dynamics. I analyze, understand, and move in the environment accordingly. I know what leverage is.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

I am who I am in any room you put me in. Whether that’s high level political l, governmental, academia, or industry. I show up the same in every room. I know who I am. I know what I have to offer. I can read the room well.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

You can’t take wisdom, knowledge, or understanding away from me.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

I move from a place of guidance, vision, and experience — all compounded over time.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

In many cases, I’m not the most “credentialed” in the room. But there are many other factors, wisdom, and experiences that got me in the room in the first place.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

We all know right from wrong. We can inherently feel it. I refuse to ever be on the wrong side of history.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

There are some on the professional level that think they can get over on you. But if you know the game, they can’t possibly get over on you, because you’ve already recognized the game.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

My dad wasn’t much of a father, but I do credit simply being in certain environments and being able to analyze those environments, especially with where I am currently. He’s not much of a man, but I learned a lot from those environments as a kid and teenager.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

I’ve been in many environments professionally where this has been an asset to have. I see the game as it is.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

Essentially, your strategy or tactic won’t go unnoticed. Even if I don’t acknowledge that I’m aware.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

One of my gifts is that I’m intuitive. I have a unique sense to process situations, people, and circumstances. You can’t pull the cover over my head without me processing it. That’s one of my gifts.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

I learned the “streets” in Monroeville, Alabama by default and exposure. My dad would be considered a “low life” drug dealer in the world I’m currently in. But back then, I paid attention to how people moved. I saw the strategy and tactics at a young age.

[DeVanté Snell @te_snell]

I remember back in 2016 when I was unemployed in rural Alabama. No inheritance, no connections, no “prospects”… nothing but girt and a vision.
