Famous Michael Nanfito Quotes

“There are, within the spheres of all our influences, opportunities to rise to singularly crafted occasions. The nature of these, for each of us, are in direct correlation to how we live our lives, what we value, and who populates our worlds. The potential to advance or squander these opportunities is born of the social and emotional topography of our individual lives. Yours cannot be mine. And mine are meant for me.”

“Side jobs that came my way provided an excellent tutorial on working the street: Learn how to hustle – a buck and an opportunity. How to read a man, his eyes and his intent. Guard your own and keep your own counsel. Make them say a number first and stay or go based on your own designs. Never lie but never give in. When they try to manhandle the situation, and get up in your face about it, step in even closer. If they talk too loud, pretending they're tough, lower your voice, make them lean in to hear and get them off balance. Always give a man an out. Never shame them, but create their indebtedness to you. Assume authority quietly. Yea, I learned a lot and I learned it well.”
