This Is What A Buddhist Zen Master, Benjamin Franklin, And 50 Cent All Agree On

This Is What A Buddhist Zen Master, Benjamin Franklin, And 50 Cent All Agree On

There is not a lot we can all agree on.

But I, literally, just posted about this.

And the rapper 50 Cent echos the same thing in his book with Robert Greene.

It is almost like the beginning of a bad, weird, joke:

What do a Buddhist Zen master, Benjamin Franklin, and the rapper 50 Cent all agree on?

Answer: Persistence.

It is odd the connections you draw over time by staying at one thing, which is kind of the point, if you think about it.

“It is true there is much to be done, and perhaps you are weak-handed; but stick to it steadily, and you will see great effects; for Constant dropping wears away stones; and Little strokes fell great oaks.”

-Benjamin Franklin, The Way To Wealth
