Next week...Kanye West's 10 lessons for success on award shows - and in life.
"Yo Fiddy, I'm really happy for you, I'll let you finish, but Jay-Z had some of the best financial advice of all time!"
Greene: Hey Fiddy, I just wrote a self-help book. Fiddy: Great, here's a photo of me and I'll send you a few zesty rhymes about being the best. Greene: Cool, we'll profit share and you can read the final draft before it goes to print. Fiddy: Word. Split it into 50 chapters. ---- I saw a Hugh Hefner self-help column once: don't even know if Hef even knew about it. Here it is: http://tr.im/z3yQ

I got problems with the word 'self-help'. Since you usually receive such 'self-help' knowledge through books, movies etc. which is like regular help. If you however figure out to do something yourself, without that book or movie, THEN its self-help. Please let use the language we a all agreed upon.

e.g. 'help' losing weight suggests things like a gym partner, a personal trainer, surgery, your spouse adopting your meal goals, etc.
'self-help' losing weight would be things that fall short of that: a workout schedule, a diet plan, etc. Things that have pointed you in the right direction, but don't include other people directly helping you.
What you're describing sounds closer to 'self-made'. As there was no assistance from anyone else, of any kind, it doesn't seem useful to include the word 'help' at all.
Thanks for posting this. I was peripherally aware of 50Cent's entrepreneurism (the Vitamin Water deal), and I had no idea he was so focused and driven. > The fools in life want things fast and easy — money, success, attention. Boredom is their great enemy and fear. PG's build something people want > Most people think first of what they want to express or make, then find the audience for their idea. You must work the…
Facts:
-Just because Curtis Jackson is from a poor neighbourhood doesn't mean he's dumb or not business savvy.
-Just because he's a rapper doesn't mean he is always thinking about bling and 24 inch rims.
-Just because he is a rapper doesn't mean that he doesn't care about nothing but making money.
-And just because he hasn't had the best education and a 100k MBA it surely doesn't mean that he can't seal good business deals and manage his wealth.
When people talk about someone like Donald Trump it's always huge respect in everything he's done or doing but when it's anyone you wouldn't expect it from it's "I'm surprised he can actually talk so smart". Really?
pg has more data and convincingly reduces the advice to - 'determination' (http://www.paulgraham.com/determination.html) - and 'be relentlessly resourceful' (http://www.paulgraham.com/relres.html).
It's kinda sad to see people judge people by their career, appearance and environment.
