“The voice in your head also creates a huge amount of problems that aren't really problems. They're just things that haven't happened yet, things that could happen tomorrow or next week. Listening to unreal problems has another name: worrying. That's what the voice in your head does. It what-ifs. It frets. It agonizes, and you can no longer sense the joy of life.” IfsLifeDoeProblemHappensJoyNextNamesVoiceWorryHappenedWeekHavensHugeListeningAmountTomorrowUnrealJoy Of LifeNext Week Author:Eckhart Tolle
“It came from my mother. She was a singer, and literally every day of the week she sang at a different club in a different genre of music: country, R&B clubs, jazz clubs, church on Sunday morning where she was the music director, pop hits, soft rock.

“In a time like this, when records are not selling, he's the only one that is selling. You know, Drake and all the other ones [did well], but Em did [close to] 800,000 his first week, and he's #1 for the fifth week. It's incredible. I think he has a faithful fan base of people who have been following him for years. They're not going to stop following him and not stop listening to his music. Em said he didn't like his last album as much as this one. You can hear the difference. I like both of the albums. '3 a.m.' is one of my joints. But Eminem has followers that's gonna mess with him until the day he dies.” PeopleThinkingKnowsYearsFirstsHas BeensSaidLastsDiesDifferencesRecordsWeekFansListeningIncrediblesAlbumsFollowingSellingMessFaithfulEmsFollowersFifthJoints Author:Tony Yayo
“I never read in school. I got really bad grades-D's and F's and C's in some classes, and A's and B's in other classes. In the second week of the 11th grade, I just quit.
