How not to be a blowhard – do the exact opposite of Kanye…

This weekend I went to the Kanye West concert down in San Jose. I already had my reservations about him from his outburst at the MTV music awards and his comments during Katrina. However I had free tickets and I love the song ‘Hey Mama’ so why not…
The concert was amazing: good food, good drinks, and good people. My only problem was with Kanye’s one man act. The whole 90 minutes or so, he was the only person on stage. He didn’t even ask Lupe to come out for their song ‘Touch the Sky’. To top it off, after the concert, I met his drummer and apparently Kanye moved the band’s stage three feet lower, JUST to make absolutely sure they weren’t seen by the audience.
This got me thinking, I hope that when I am met with incredible success, I never become like that. Don’t get me wrong, Kanye has incredible talent and has gotten to where he is through hard work, dedication and commitment. However I am positive he did not get there alone….
The day I take center stage, I am going to make absolutely sure that it is shared with the people who have helped me get there, regardless if it was directly or indirectly. I owe everything I have: my personality, my wants, and my goals to my friends, my family, and especially my business partners. I hope that you never see me like that person below because it must be a very lonely, lonely, world….
I think he is too narcissistic to feel lonely.
I kinda feel sorry for him.
