Happy Tuesday #Jontourage,
Welcome back to the “Classy Gent Chronicles”, where staying classy is the only way to be. Let's jump right into it.... What do Brian McKnight, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Amerie, Carl Thomas, Tamia, Tyrese, Tupac, Biggie, Ginuwine, and Donnell Jones all have in common besides being great musicians? All those musicians have NEVER won Grammy Awards.... Unfair right??? I was absolutely floored when I saw this. I am mean floored! One night, I got bored and literally started looking up music trivia and soon after an internet search, I saw that none of them have won Grammys. Don’t get me wrong, there are other prestigious awards out there but in the world of music, the Grammys is one of top honors to have. What makes it worse is that some people I thought would never win have….won. Go figure!

By belongingness, it means the ability to have and maintain relationships is important to us as humans. When it comes to our family’s approval, this becomes crucial. Every child longs for the infamous “atta boy”, “good job”, or “I’m proud of you” from their family. So what about the kids who grow up into adults and rarely or never hear those words of approval? It often takes their life into a tailspin because they need somebody to make them feel loved and accepted. The same thing happens in dating, partners who often cheat need to feel a sense of belonging so they go elsewhere when they are not getting it in their relationships. For the folks that decided to follow our dreams, they are often met with backlash from our family. Some people are even left with having to make one of the toughest decisions of all time, chase your dreams or stay on good terms with your family. Let’s look at the reasons families may not support you in your ideas: Happy Tuesday #Jontourage,
Welcome back to the “Classy Gent Chronicles”, where staying classy is the only way to be. Let's jump right into it.... In my previous blog, we discussed the ways that awards are handed out, promotions are appointed, and top evaluations are earned. Now, let’s discuss the behaviors that will have you on your way out the door for your “permanent” lunch break from that company. Meet five males that will most likely be let go from their job: |
