"The greatest revenge is success."

In this quote Gucci is trying to pinpoint that "revenge" isn't always something violent or something that will negatively impact another person. The best revenge you can get on a person that hurt you, belittled you, or made you feel like you were any less of a person than you are is by proving them wrong. People that try to bring you down don't expect you to brush off their words. They expect you to feel everything they are saying with the intent to discourage you but once you realize that and you just keep grinding you will get way farther in life and that's what the haters really hate to see.

“Your network is your net worth””

Gucci is saying that meeting people is everything in life today. It’s not about what you know its shout who you know, meeting people and building connections can take you far. You can meet someone snd vibe with them and become friends snd then end up being the key to your success the whole time and you never know until you decide to converse with them about business. That can always end positively.

Gucci Mane wrote this book while serving a prison sentence. He was inspired by a friend who'd always send him books while he was in prison.

I just find it crazy how a lot of people who aren't used to being surrounded by people who live a certain lifestyle categorize rappers, specifically black rappers as violent, criminal-like people who are different from them. But most rappers are just like them in some ways. Smart, intelligent people who just come up differently and sometimes gravitate towards that lifestyle due to their circumstances.

"There are some things in life you can never completely walk away from, as badly as you might want to."

I related to this quote because a lot of the things we go through or experience are experiences that stick with us for life and shape who we are as people.

"My own mama turned her back on me and that's my mama."

This quote goes to show that no matter what title you have any relationship can be broken. Life isn't perfect, things go wrong and sometimes bonds and titles don't matter to people in certain situations.

"My past doesn't define me, it's just a part of my story."

Gucci is saying that he does not let anything from the past negatively affect his reputation or who he is as a person in general. Everything that a person goes through in life is just a piece of your overall story and every event that happens is significant in its own way. When that day comes for everyone to leave the earth everyone will have their own story to tell based on the events that happened during their life duration.

"I'm living proof that you can come from nothing and become something.

I chose this quote because it speaks motivation into people.

The quote explains the transformational journey Gucci Mane had. Born into a broken environment, he faced adversities that could have easily determined his future. But instead, Gucci Mane beat the odds, showing that with perseverance, determination, and a strong work ethic, you can overcome those challenges and be great.

“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”

What Gucci means by this is that you can have all the talent in the world but if you don't apply yourself and aren’t consistent then it wont mean anything. Having the talent is just one part of the success. Putting in hard work is the second part because it shows that you have commitment to whatever you are doing. It also shows that you are dedicated to progressing.

"My father had been deteriorating for years. It finally reached a breaking point. All he lived for was the bottle."

This quote stuck out to me because the author was courageous enough to speak on a vulnerable topic. In this quote, the author is telling us that his father was an alcoholic. He says that he (his father) was deteriorating for years, meaning him as a person and his personality. At some point, the drinking became too much and his father’s soul and everything he stood for was gone, all that mattered to him was alcohol.

“If you keep lookin' back, you gon' trip going forward.”

This quote means that dwelling too much on your setbacks and past experiences can affect your progress and success moving forward. Focusing on your past can hinder you from fully embracing opportunities that present themselves. The quote is a reminder to learn from your mistakes and grow from them.

"Sucess is not a destination, but a journey"

In this quote, Gucci Mane expresses that success is not a physical or material destination that someone reaches, but instead it's an ongoing and never ending journey. This means that the want for success is not about reaching a specific place or achieving a certain goal. But it's about continuously pushing yourself, learning from failures, growing, and evolving to become the best version of yourself. The quote reminds people that the journey towards success is filled with ups and downs, challenges, and setbacks but to also embrace the process, appreciate the lessons learned along the way, and enjoy the transformation that takes place on the path to success.

"You can't change your past , but you can change your future."

What Gucci means by this is that you have to let go of your mistakes and just learn from them. It is human for everyone to make mistakes but there is nothing you can do about that. Dwelling on the past will not help you elevate in life at all. You will just keep replaying all of then things you could have done differently and all of the things you could have now or have prevented. Replaying stuff like that in your head repeatedly can drive a person insane. Just boss up and make better decisions.

“Never let someone tell you what you can and can’t achieve”

This quote means you can do anything if you put your mind and heart to it. Stop caring about what other people think. Stop asking for opinions from negative people. Nobody knows your limits besides you and God. Another person cant tell you your limitations if they aren’t in the position to support you and themselves if they wanted to. And even if they could you could be way more successful than them.

“Don’t wait for opportunities, create them”

This quote means that you have to take what you want. Nothing will be given to you. You can’t expect stuff to just fall into your hands. Gucci is saying that you have to MAKE a way in this life because this life is setup for people to only have failure. You have to change that yourself snd you change that by creating opportunities for yourself. Go start that business. Go invest in that stock.

“Hustle until your haters ask if you’re hiring.”

What Gucci meant by this is keep grinding until the people that hated on you are wondering what you’re doing. Your haters will always be watching you, give them a reason to watch you. They’re going to end up being your followers.

“The bigger the risk, the bugger the reward”

This quote simply means the more you put in something, the better the outcome you will get. If you gamble 5 dollars you may get 15 if you win. If you gamble 500 you may get 1500. Gucci is just letting you know that the the more you put in, the more you get out.

“Surround yourself with positive people who want to see you succeed”

This quote stood out to me because I can relate to it. Lately I have been distancing myself from negative people because I have goals and most people as young as me aren’t as privileged as me when it comes to their mindsets about the future. I see myself doing big things and i don't want to wait until its too late. Ive noticed that most people my age just want to party and don't want to plan ahead. Don't get it wrong I loveeeeeee to party as well but I'm responsible and i can separate business from pleasure especially when my success is at stake.

“Don’t settle for mediocracy, always strive for greatness”

This quote stood out to me because it had been my mindset since I realized I am going to be leaving high school and entering the adult world. I know my limitations in life are beyond what I can fathom so I have to train myself to understand that the only way is up. I have to get used to not getting comfortable when i elevate in life because I can always keep elevating and that it was Gucci means by this quote. Never settle because the sky is the limit.
