DIPSET!! Today’s books and bars episode features Juelz Santana’s “Days of Our Lives” track. As an athlete at Oregon State University, I’d relate to Juelz’ hustle-mode as depicted in the song; to my efforts on the field and in the gym. Patience is a virtue man. Keep working; you’ll get to where you need to be.

As we wrap up Kobe’s Film Room series, today we examine the importance of curiosity. The Black Mamba was a true student to the game of basketball, with an unbeatable desire to learn EVERYTHING he could. Even if it took a few cold calls here and there, Kobe followed through… What does this mean for you? How will you interpret this past week’s deep dive into Mr. Bryant’s mind? Will you soak it in and do nothing, or will you adopt this mentality? The choice is yours.

(2:21) Part 3 of the FILM ROOM!

(4:37) A brief review of parts 1 of 2

Accept, then move strategically. Powerful stuff… Today’s pages are straight out of The Dalai Lama’s, “Beyond Religion”, on page 37 of chapter 10. Hit the link below to grab your copy!
