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.

Reviews by Pancho @ "Precolonial Black Africa" By Cheikh Anta Diop

Precolonial Black Africa 𓁃𓀠𓀢𓀧 This mid to large size book, originally written in French, gives readers a gateway into what Africa was like before the colonization. "Precolonial Black Africa" gives readers a detailed outlook on what life was like amongst the earliest Africans. The book sheds light on what the early Africans did for a living, how they saw each other, how they handled conflicts, how they conquered other lands, how they practiced religion, and a number of other things. Throughout the book, Cheikh Anta Diop divides the text into sections that focus on the different angles of political and social systems. For example, section 2 or II or the book goes into detail on what the socio-political status of Africa was at the time. Sections later on in the text talk about the education levels that was present during precolonial black Africa. The text is well rounded overall and makes the reader(me) feel like they're sitting in an exclusiv...

🎮What Video Games Have to 🎲Teach Us About Learning and Literacy📙 In chapter 7, James Paul Gee discusses how online interactions through video games can help create a learning network for video game players. When video game players are able to communicate with each other worldwide, it causes people to learn new things or solve the trivia of a game as a group. The unified network of gamers can allow those who participate to submit their own ideas on the game. Certain abilities and cheat codes to the game can also be developed as people play within the network. One game that Gee uses to prove this principle is World of Warcraft, an online MMO and RPG game. The game has a huge audience with people from all around the world logging in to play daily. The author was able to experience on hand just how far playing within a network can help gamers progress through these types of games. He states “But video game players can be part of a powerful network if they so desire and know-ho...

Reviews by Pancho @ "What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy" By James Paul Gee. Introduction

🎮What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy🎮 The introduction of this book shows readers how author James Paul Gee feels about video games and their ability to challenge the human mind. There are many sources of education out in the world that help people enhance their intellect, but most would never think of video games being in that category. From his own experience, Paul started to really experiment with video games after watching his six-year-old son play one. He states “I decided to play through the game by myself so I could “coach” my child as he played. When I played the game I was quite surprised to find out it was fairly long and pretty challenging, even for an adult.”(pg.6) He couldn’t understand why the younger population would continuously put themselves through that much amount of stress, especially if the games were programmed to be longer and harder to solve. This is how he came to the conclusion that video games aren’t just a waste of time, bu...
