A Classic Takes Time

So many us of us want our success immediately, but many did not get where they were instantly.  See there are lots instant classics (fads) but there are few weathered, timeless classics.  Instant classics happen everyday, but classics that are molded, heated, shaped, and polished are mostly created over time and are rare..  See I have listened to some older, wiser people I have spoken with over the weekend and I think the message that I received from them was, "Son, you are going to be a classic it just takes time."  

If you ask me what is it that I want and that is to be a classic.  I don't want to be a hot shot, or a temporary fad, I want to be a classic.  See fads come and they go but classics stick around forever.  Von Dutch gone, Ralph Lauren and Chanel still here.  Daewoo gone, Mercedes still here.  See all the classics have stood the test of time but over time adapted and embraced the new fads to survive.  Classics are often imitated but never completely duplicated.  So when people ask what is the one thing I want out of life its to be classic at what I do.  

J Kelly- Classic!
