Black people are achievers; we're survivors. — © Roxie Roker
Black people are achievers; we're survivors.
Achievers are Believers in Commitments and Dreams. But, the great achievers believe in their own and others' good CHARACTER too.
To be a black person is to come from a long bloodline of survivors and storytellers, with a resilience that people can't even comprehend.
We create a standard for how we want to do things and everybody's got to buy into that standard or you really can't have any team chemistry. Mediocre people don't like high-achievers and high-achievers don't like mediocre people.
For the high achievers, studying gave them the pleasing, absorbing challenge of flow 40 percent of the hours they spent at it. But for low achievers, studying produced flow only 16 percent of the time; more often that not, it yielded anxiety, with the demands outreaching their abilities...The low achievers found pleasure and flow in socializing, not in studying.
Achievers have a can-do attitude that sets them apart from mere dreamers. Achievers are sold out to success-no matter the obstacles-and they are willing to put forth the effort and pay the price of success.
We Wanted to be Achievers, But Being an Achievers didn't Mean That You Stopped Being a Woman.
A lot of racism going on in the world right now. Who's more racist? Black people or white people? Black people. You know why? 'Cuz we hate black people too! Everything white people don't like about black people, black people really don't like about black people.
In many regards, Me Too is about survivors talking to survivors.
We want to turn victims into survivors - and survivors into thrivers.
As a black person on the outside, because there's so much black art and so much of black people's work circulating, so many people imitating what black people do, you would think that there'd be more black people on the business side. It didn't cross my mind that every label head, for the most part, is a white guy.
I like people who are achievers.
Did you ever notice how many survivors they have? Did you ever notice that? Everybody - every time you turn around, 15,000 survivors meet here, 400 survivors convention there. I mean, did you ever notice? Nazis sure were inefficient, weren't they? Boy, boy, boy! ...You almost have no survivors that ever say they saw a gas chamber or saw the workings of a gas chamber...they'll say these preposterous stories that anybody can check out to be a lie, an absolute lie.
Mediocre people don't like high achievers and high achievers don't like mediocre people.
Mediocre people hate high achievers, and high achievers hate mediocre people.
Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people.
I've remained in touch with more than a dozen descendants of Gremlin Special survivors, victims, and rescuers. I treasured my friendship with Earl Walter Jr., the lead paratrooper who jumped into the valley to protect the survivors.
