Speakers challenge the conventional idea that humility is always good, arguing it's used as a control mechanism. They claim real leaders should embrace confidence and boldness instead of staying quiet, and that society wrongly discourages people from being great.
One of the characterizations made of rappers often is that they're very boastful. It seems like right now you're taking pains to be humble and look at things from a very realistic perspective. Is that accurate?
Mm-hmm. I think being humble is sexy.
So when you're at your lowest point in life, just know there's always hope, and always know there's a new day, and always know there's a way. You know, people your whole life, they try to tell you, be humble, be humble, be humble. When's the last time somebody told you to be great, be amazing, be awesome, be awesome, be awesome?
What's people's favorite word to use for me? Humble. But if you, if we go on iTunes right now, just, I mean, on your iPhone right now, just go to dictionary, you look up humble, 80% of the definition is negative. It's a controlling word. It's a way to control the masses and to control the sheep. Yeah, there's, I think there's a level of reality to being nice, to being cordial. To people, but if you have the ability to lead, you are a leader, you have the answers or you have the ability to find people with the answers and your will is to help, you should not be humble. You should speak up because this world is broken. So someone needs to say something. And sometimes I just feel like I'm the only one that's not crazy.
