As I get, I give. Giving as you get is critical. It has everything to do with being happy for yourself, and making others happy is the cause of making yourself happy, and itβs the cycle of giving and getting.

I think if you're open-minded, the road will take you where it takes you. If you're closed, you might not get to go where the road is heading.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Being open-minded allows you to embrace new possibilities and experiences.
This quote by Russell Simmons emphasizes the importance of having an open mind. When you approach life with curiosity and flexibility, you are more likely to discover unexpected opportunities and paths. Conversely, a closed mindset can limit your experiences and prevent personal growth, as it restricts where you are willing to go and what you are willing to learn.

America, you know, they always separate people because of race. They've been able to convince, 'The niggers are coming.' You know, the diversity that America has is so special. It's starting to really become a cool thing for young people. Not only because there are more mixes of people, but because people are more open-minded about each other. So I think in the future, America has a great, great opportunity, and mostly because of hip-hop.

"...piling up zeros in your bank account, or cars in your driveway, won't in and of itself make you successful. Rather, true success is based on a constant flow of giving and recieving. In fact, if you look up affluence in the dictionary, you'll see its root is a Latin phrase meaning "to flow with abundance". So in order to be truly affluent, you must always let what you have recieved flow back into the world."

There is nothing more awe-inspiring than a miracle except the credulity that can take it at par.
Mark TwainRead
He is a wise man who seeks by every legitimate means to make all the money he can honestly, for money can do so many worthwhile things in this world, not merely for one's self but for others. But he is an unmitigated fool who imagines for a moment that it is more important to make the money than to make it honestly. One of the advantages of possessing money is that it facilitates one's independence and mental attitude. The man head over heels in debt is more slave than independent.

I got at a very early age, the idea that the safest way to try and get what you want, is to try and deserve what you want._x000D_ Itβs such a simple idea, itβs the golden rule so to speak. You want to deliver to the world what you would buy if you were on the other end.
