As a kid, I always thought that I was a lot smarter than I actually was. I believed that I was too cool, too good looking, too smart. There were times I wouldn't listen to my mom. She knew that a stubborn teenager wasn't going to listen to his mother. I had too much pride. My mother, being the intuitive woman she was, would always find a way to send me a message.
There's a story I want to share...
I always tell coaches, parents and managers that I am mentoring to STOP MANAGING AND START SELLING. Yes, even if it's your own family and your own people. The fact is, as a manager, it only matters if the people agree with what you are asking them to do. The same thing goes as a parent – it doesn't matter how great your information or advice is. Your child has to listen to you for it to matter. My mother would use other people to sell me rather than tell me what she wanted me to know.
When I was in middle school, I struggled wand did not love school. In my head, I was a GREAT basketball player. I thought one day I’d play in the NBA. My mother, who came to one game in my luxurious career at the JCH, came to watch one of my games. After the game, her summation was that I was a 5’7" Jewish kid from Brooklyn, and she didn’t know anybody like that in the NBA and that I should probably be more serious about school. I thought that if I could find somebody my size in the league, maybe she’d believe me, but in the meantime, I should pay more attention to my academics in case the league didn't work out.
One day, our next door neighbor, who worked at CCNY as the Director of Custodial and Janitor Services, told me to go with him to work for a day. His job was to keep the school and grounds clean, open/close buildings, etc. He was a good friend of my mother. We went to the Bronx and he showed me the campus and introduced me to a number of the people cleaning bathrooms, cleaning floors, landscaping, painting and all the rest. He turned to me and said, “Brandon, you have to decide. Do you want to work from the neck up, or neck down?"
There is absolutely nothing wrong with cleaning and fixing. They are essential. The question is, do you want to manage? Do u want to be in charge of running a company one day? Do you want to be the boss? Only you can decide.
I decided to take school a lot more seriously.
The question is: do you want to work from the neck up, or the neck down?

I’ve always been a healthy, active person. I don’t take any medications, I eat the best I can, and I walk at least two miles every day. I also get my routine mammogram every year.
In November 2019, I went in for my annual screening. Several days later, my doctor called to tell me they’d found a suspicious area, so I needed to go back for a follow-up mammogram and an ultrasound. After that, a biopsy confirmed that I had breast cancer.
When I received my diagnosis, my husband and I decided to get a second opinion. I’ve heard good things about Nature Care Health Clinic, which happens to be a well known and certified clinic known for treating various types of chronic diseases and illness such as cancer, diabetes,tuberculosis,lymphoma etc
Before this time, i was suppose to undergo Lumpectomy as suggested by my oncologist but he suggested and referred us to Nature Care Health Clinic cause he has had lots of similar cases as regards my diagnosis and most of them came out with positive testimonies.Not withstanding, we contacted the Clinic as He suggested, and we started our treatment with them following their prescriptions accordingly. Few weeks later, I began noticing drastic improvement in my body generally, this natural formula was so effective,It helps in lowering blood pressure and lowering blood glucose levels. Therefore, it is really good for hyperglycemic, Cancer and diabetic people. It also reduces fatigue, etc promotes tissue regeneration and so many other functions. I guarantee you will stand 100% chance to beat your condition. This formula helps to boost your immune system and can eliminate cancer cells from blood cells, it shrinks cancer tumors gradually. Trust me, this is one of the best treatments for cancer and the side effects that come after its treatments.
This formula practically beats my thought and perceptions about natural products,I use to be a strong critic of such especially when it comes to chronic illness such as cancer. I am indeed happy that I gave it a shot and I can confidently assure you that a trial will actually convince you. have also recommended their services to many individuals as well and most of them can also testify positively to their services (even if i haven’t got feedback from some of them).
however i will leave their contact below just in case any one wishes to contact them, I am sure this will absolutely help so many individuals with similar illness

THIS IS REAL. I REPEAT, THIS IS REAL. The black mirror is real, the black mirror is really powerful, effective and 100% reliable. My name is Walter Brian, I want to thank Dada Magical for giving his black mirror to me. Since he gave me his black mirror, I became rich, successful, protected, informed and powerful. I was browsing through the internet one day when I saw multiple testimonies on how Dada Magical has helped so many people with his black mirror. I thought it was a joke at first but I gave it a try and contacted him. He sold the black mirror to me and told me how to use it and all that I need to do. I followed the instructions just as he told me and to my greatest surprise, it worked just as he told me. The black mirror is still working for me. The mirror also brings good luck, blessings and information. Contact Dada Magical now on his email; Dadablackmirrors@gmail.com and he will help you also with the black mirror just the same way he helped me. Thank you Great Dada Magical.
