Romeo (son of music mogul Percy Miller) has been living a pretty outrageous life since he was young. What impresses me about him is his ability set high goals and follow his own dreams without settling for the success and wealth he has grown custom to. He pushes himself in school as well as on the basketball court, which is evident seeing that he will be attending USC (University of Southern California). What I can take away from the life of Romeo is despite the abundance of his current success he is continuing to push himself to live according to his dreams and fullest potential. Ask yourself how focused you would be in high school and college if you were already rich, wealthy, and successful? I can understand how easy it could be to just sit back and get complacent.
“The common idea that success spoils people by making them vain, egotistic and self-complacent is erroneous; on the contrary it makes them, for the most part, humble, tolerant and kind.”-William Somerset Maugham
50 Cent tops Forbes’ annual list of the world’s highest-paid rappers beating out the likes of Jay-Z, Sean Combs, and Kanye West. Considering this is his earnings for one years work, boy how dreams can hit new levels when you get in the right place and find your groove in life. I noticed how many of the smarter rappers quickly take to the entrepreneur scene once experiencing some success, catapulting them further then music alone ever could. With the theme “artist turned marketing mogul”, how would 50’s life had turned out had he pursued a career as a businessman from the beginning? Same goes for Jay-Z, and Sean Combs “P-Diddy”, would they have been so successful without the music as a launchpad? In my opion yes and no. Yes if the confidence they have built in themselves over the years were present in the begining. Self confidence, swagger and belief can lead you to do things you could not have dreamed. Not sure if anyone has asked 50, but I wonder when he was just a New York rapper doing mixed tapes could he foresee the power business moves and marketing genious he would bring into the world to amass such a fortune? 50 raked in over $100 million after taxes on a single deal earlier this year, Forbes notes, when his stake in Glacéau (parent co. of VitaminWater) was bought by Coca-Cola as part of a $4.1 billion takeover.
This is a good example of dreams coming true. Esmée Denters started out as an everyday girl who loved to sing. She decided to share her vocal skills with the world by placing videos of her home performances on YouTube. She knew she loved to sing so she did, only she decided to take action and allow others to hear her voice. Esmée was featured on the Oprah Winfrey show last night as
