Im an 18 year old, African American male. i was born in the slums of Chester PA, right near Philadelphia but i always felt the need to Rise, and step into my calling of Acting and Singing and becoming the Ultimate Entertainer. When people meet me they ultimately "feel" my presence, my energy. And this book provides that, and teaches you and is truly such a gift if you apply it correctly. I am self-motivated, and have exhausted ALL options, but i still keep faith. I have read many of books on this subject and Tyrese's way of portraying the TRUTH is most influential. As a young black man i don't really have a lot of influences in my life, but Tyrese just became "it" for me. He keeps it real so that someone like me can relate and grow from. i have learned to channel my thoughts according to my beliefs/dreams; regardless of my current circumstances knowing that my thoughts are a "physical thrust" into the universe. That alone has gave me the courage to move 3,000 miles to Los Angeles California early June , and taking one more step to a more complete "me". This book has given me so much strength, and i wish more people (Black Men particularly) would step up and understand that your life will NOT obtain VALUE if you are not making other lives BETTER. I hope Tyrese read's this and see's that my name is LOUIS CLYBOURN JR. and because of your help of this book i WILL go on to do great things in this industry, not forgetting where i came from and ultimately taking upon the great but rewarding tasks of making other peoples lives better. My faith, and huger will prevail, i know it & BELIEVE it, and thats all that matters. Mr.Gibson if you are reading this, i would be honored if you could take time out of your busy schedule and be my personal mentor. Even the slightest follow on Twitter @LouieVuitonDon , or sign of recognition would mean the WORLD to me. Even if you decide not to at this moment because of other reasons, i still believe you will be become my mentor with all my heart no matter what. I hope you believe in me, as much as i believe in you. Keep servicing our world, Much Love&God BlessLou Clybourn Jr.
