little funny that is the exact story you describe. near the end of the book, everything is shut down, it looks dark, and you say you had trouble even selling a t-shirt at that very table. yes. and i read that, and i thought here s someone, if i may, and tell me if i m wrong, here s someone who has incredible pride but very little ego. and that s the key. if you can bury your ego, then there is always possibilities. you know, i m riding around in a mercedes-benz, guccied out. i m riding around with a jeep, mcm out. i m the talk of the town. but i had to learn to swallow that and go back to where i started at, and start all over again. and that incident you talking about, when i had to start all over, i was out there and tour buses was coming to harlem and 125th street, and i was trying to sell t-shirts. i counted 144 buses and didn t sell one t-shirt.
