Hello,
I am a pastor and educator. I really admire anyone who can make something of themselves and help someone else up the ladder as Jay-Z has done. My only regret is that those who climb to the top in any profession should leave a legacy that I helped someone up the ladder instead of I destroyed someone and left them with no ladder to climb, because I fed them with misdirection. I would say as Dr. King said. “If I can help somebody..then my living shall not be in vain”. God bless each of you and make it positive by being a servant leader.
