Michael B. Jordan says he realized early in his career that other people partying gave him an opportunity to create an advantage
“East coast cats, we just do better out west because we’re coming with that grit… It’s a different grind, LA is a little more laid back. It has an effect on your ambition sometimes. And understanding where I come from, I’m built different.”
“I’ve always had an eye and a discipline and a work ethic that I’ve had at a young age. I just kind of apply it to everything that I want to do.”
“I rarely go out… I’m reading, trying to reverse engineer how to be successful. How do I start my own production company? How do I do this, do that? If other cats was out partying, I was home studying, I would have an edge.”
“If cats is out here doing this and that, being hungover the night before, I would have an edge if I wasn’t… If I’m eating food, I’m gonna save the best for last. I’ll eat around it til the one part I really want. I’m gonna delay gratification. I’m that type of person.”
“I will party later. I work hard now so the second half of my life I could do whatever the fuck I want. That’s been my mentality. I’m not gonna trick off my early years for partying and then worry about struggling. Asking how am I going to take care of my myself, my family?”
“I’ma grind it out now… I’m gonna set up the foundation so I can enjoy myself later. That’s how I’ve always been, that works for me.”

When a person becomes wise, the first thing they give up is showing off. They no longer feel the need to prove their intelligence, success, strength, or worth to anyone. Wisdom is knowing that validation gained from others is momentary, but self-love lasts much longer.
