Thank You and You're Welcome.

Say what you want about Mr. Kanye West but you can not doubt his talent (and not just musically). I've loved Kanye since Through the Wire. Even til this day I enjoy everything about him including his rants. Why? Because he is who I want to be. I want to be able to speak my mind without fear. We are very similar. Our egos were created Shaq size just like our hearts. Before you stop reading this in order to avoid a Kanye obsession post, I would like to let you know its really not about that. I am writing this to explain how awesome his book Thank You and You're Welcome is. Another life lessons book that's short and very relatable to anyone.

First off, this book is a graphics artists giant slice of cake. The typefaces of the sayings are purposefully created. Kanye West is an artist and it shows with everything he does. The book itself is a small 53 page read filled with what West describes as "personal proverbs" and stories of lessons learned.

"Thank You and You're Welcome" is to describe moments where "both parties give and both parties gain". I read this book often when things don't seem to be going right. There's a page in the book for pretty much everything. My favorite page is "I wonder...would you rather have 100% from an average person or 10% fm someone who is outstanding?". 

You're trying too hard to dislike this man if you find something bad to say about this book. 


BTW...If you haven't got your laugh for the day, here it is (There's no way I can explain this though)

Thank You & You're Welcome.
