Boron - Chapter 23
Listen up, Bondy: These letters are a labor of love for me
and I am trying to reach you all the important stuff I know.
And, one of the most important things I can teach you is to
just do it! KEEP ON PEEPING ON! Everybody else here
has been eating steaks and "celebrating" the 4th. That's OK
but, right now, I've got more important things to do and
those are: (1) get my body in shape (2) educate my youngest
son (3) make a lot of money and (4) keep up my important
relationships on the outside.
And I'm doing it all. I am heartsick for my woman, I am
living in 114 degree heat I have jerks for roommates, and,
above all I AM IN PRISON!
And, I'm still doing it. So, you do it too. You are made out
of the same stuff I am and I am so proud of you, you
wouldn't believe it.
But get this. It doesn't matter how much you learn if
you don't use what you learn. So when I tell you to
do your roadwork and exercise with weights and study and
read ads aloud and write them out in your own handwriting, I
mean for you to do it and do it now!
So don't mess around with your life. I have messed up enough
for both of us.
End of sermon.
Now, I'm going to talk to you about a big difference between
people who make it in any field (including crime) and those
who do not.
That difference is awareness.
Most people (at least many) walk around with their heads in
the sand.
They are lost in a fog. They go whichever way the current of
the streams of their world happens to push them. They are
sheep and they are regularly shorn.
