Reviews by Pancho @ "48 Laws of Hustling: Dont be a statistic" By Ricky St.Julien II

48 Laws of Hustling: Don't be a statistic
𝌭


This journal-sized book contains a mock spin on the 48 laws of power. The author St. Julien II takes the audience through his own spin on laws that work best for people who are involved in the art of Hustling.  The items on the list cater a lot to people who might be conducting illegal activity. However, I feel like the author only does this because it's very relevant to his life and what he did in his past. St. Julien II makes it known to readers that he published this book while incarcerated due to a large federal crime he conducted.  

Therefore, the items on this list serve the purpose of being a guide for those who choose to follow the steps of a hustler.  Even though the 48 Laws of Powers cater to a specific audience, the author doesn't fail to include pieces of advice for those who do not hustle. Ordinary white-collar citizens that work the traditional 9-5 jobs were also a target audience for the book.  Toward the middle of the book, the author states that hustling has been given a bad rep over the years. St. Julien II explains how most people confuse hustlers for drug dealers. 

By connecting similarities between traditional 9-5 employees and freelancing hustlers, the author creates an open space for guidance and counsel.  As mentioned in the text, 9-5 employees are also hustlers, along with people who work around the clock during every season. They're no different from hustlers because both parties work for income gain. One thing that I liked personally about this book is how the author incorporated Bible verses into each chapter. This meant a lot to me being a Christian because I feel like most people who convert to the religion started off with a dark past. 

Not to mention, in the Bible, God is found often hanging with the poor, the needy, the beggars, the criminals, etc.  Therefore, any person who does find themselves in this type of life should consider giving this book a read. My personal rating for this book gets 10/10.  Very great job to the author and all that he included.  Definitely give this book a try.  Thank you.

Nike Personified

Th ere are brands advertised to people every day, with more being thought up of every minute. With each brand advertised, there are multiple people who become attached to a certain brand, thus forming a sense of brand loyalty. I’ve come across a lot of brands in my life , tending to direct my loyalty towards a select few. However, there is a dominant brand that I have come to really affiliate myself with, “Nike” . According to the website of Nike, “Nike, Inc. is an American multinational corporation that is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and worldwide marketing and sales of footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories, and services”. With that being said, I feel like if this brand were to ever “ come to life ” , it would be more than just a single person. If the brand “Nike” ever came to life as a person, it would be in the form s of a man, a woman, a boy , and a girl, creating a Ni ke family. I feel that this is the appropriate incarnation to giv e the bra...

Nike's Influence on the Conformation of Society

              There are many products of today that people tend to buy in order to “conform” themselves with the rest of society. Whether it’s the lower class, middle class, or upper class, there is always one product that strikes the mind of individuals. The product that I decided to focus this study on is NBA Nike brand shoes. Nike brand shoes can apply to all people but are most commonly found amongst the younger crowd of today. The other large competing brand, Air Jordan, resembles the exact same level of demand as Nike. There are multiple reasons why Nike appeals to the younger generation of today. The company is known highly for its inner connection with super sport athletes everywhere. Almost every commercial that Nike airs on television includes a well-known athlete wearing the clothing or shoes. From Basketball and Football to Soccer and Baseball, Nike always finds a way to make a name for themselves in every sport. This wou...

Reviews by Pancho @ "Game Theory, Sports, and Economics"

⚽Game Theory, 🏀Sports, and 🎾Economics After reviewing the three articles, I noticed that they all focused on how sports and economics are similar. The article Suspense vs. Purity specifically talked about how time was involved with playing sports. The limited time in each game changes the way that players act or do things during the match. For example, in basketball, football, and hockey, players seem to act in ways that would either score them more points or stall the opponents from gaining further points when the time to end is near. This method is known as the Axelrodian approach The second article, Game Theory and Major Leagues talked about how strategy in plays and moves could be beneficial to any team. This method of minimax or the set of plays that minimizes their maximum possible loss could help more teams in winning their games. Statistics were shown to analyze how this would apply with a sports team. In football, for example, an average pass between the player’s gai...
