Humble

As George stressed in the previous blog entry (please read very insightful), G-Hamp apparel "humbleness + helpfulness + dedication = success." And such this very true, without these key elements than a person or a team is looking at failure. In this case it would be a team.
This pass week I've found myself disgusted with the behavior that of Terrell Owens (T.O.). He is far from possessing any characteristic of sportsmanship. His long line of baggage is well documented in an article by Bob Glauber, and it shows that its really nothing new with T.O when he's losing or at worst not getting the ball.

Don't get me wrong he's a great athlete and a very likely candidate for the NFL Hall Of Fame, but the legacy he'll leave behind is very shameful. A role model to the position he plays, but his demeanor is ugly. The man is so talented and I wish he would understand you can't the ball 20 times every game when a team designs a defense just to stop YOU!

I grew up like a lot of people in my age range watching Michael Jordan and the Bulls, and one thing that he did was share the wealth. Jordan may have gotten most of the endorsement off court, but on the court Jordan was distributing to all teammates that were open. He made house hold names out of Scotty Pippen, Phil Jackson, B.J Armstrong, Steve Kerr, John Paxson, and many more. Jordan possessed true sportsmanship, he made the team great by making the supporting cast around him better.

T.O needs to take a page out of Jordans book and learn that he can make his team power house, if you have 3 men defending just you than you know that its likely that your quarterback (who he cried about once) has someone else available to throw it. After a while the ball will come to you. I know losing isn't easy but to point fingers and arguing with your teammates is shameful. I can no longer follow T.O the player anymore, because he taking away from what happening on the field where it counts with his acts of foolish.

G-Hamp apparel stands for- Gentlemen's Humble Actions Manifest Progression and to continue on the sports theme if I wore to give a sportsmanship award it would have to be to Stephen Curry of Davidson. He is the NCCA men leading scorer, he went scoreless in one game because a team decided to set their defense against him. Davidson still won by
30 points by his distribution to his other teammates proving that he can make his team and its not just about him.

Going back to what George said "humbleness + helpfulness + dedication = success."

weekend update: 12/14/2008

Dear G-HAMP Organization Public,

Today we're dawning on a new day for G-HAMP Apparel. We are putting together new initiatives that will broaden the scope of G-HAMP Apparel, not only deal with clothing, but a wide range of other things that represent giving back and better ones future. The G-HAMP organization's primary goal is to develop programs and strategies that give back to the community. Not just by donating money, but generally being a helping hand. An organization that looks at the importance of obtaining information and developing skills for individuals so they can have more of an opportunity to progress and succeed in life. G-HAMP Apparel's founding concepts are humbleness + helpfulness + dedication = success. Though we still have G-HAMP Apparel, the crux of the G-HAMP Apparel movement is to reach out and lead a movement of youths, young adults, and young professionals to the forfront of the city displaying their talents, skills, and education that the general public wouldn't know of them.

The G-HAMP Apparel team is working on putting together another blog that is geared towards the G-HAMP Movement. The movement that talks about what young adults as well as adults, want to do to make a difference in their lives. Also the goal is to connect with others that share the same skills and vision that is the cornerstone of G-HAMP. The blog will be positive and informative with event updates, pics and videos, and progress reports on the success stories in the community that are direct reflections of G-HAMP involvment.

I hope and pray that everybody had a good weekend. Continue to be humble and righteous in life as we move towards accomplishing goals throughout our lives.

ONE LUV,
George H. (CEO)

Weekend Update: LEADERSHIP

Hello G-HAMP Apparel public,

Through-out this week I've been doing a lot of reading and research on leadership and how I can help lead G-HAMP Apparel to the direction that fits solely on the G-HAMP Apparel message. The importance of my leadership along with Frantz's and Nelson's leadership within the G-HAMP Apparel organization is vital because we're not trying to just change the market in the clothing industry, but trying to make a positive impact through-out the world. Our leadership in carrying out G-HAMP's organization missions to everyone relies upon us (the G-HAMP Apparel leaders) in making sure the people have the same understanding, belief, and vision we have putting forward the G-HAMP Apparel organization. As we lead our G-HAMP organization messages to the communities through-out, we're continuing to work hard and implent strategies, and ideas in pushing forth G-HAMP Apparel's movement.

The Red Hott t-shirts we'll be out this week. We'll have pics of the shirts be modeled this week to give you a hands on look on how the shirt will look with an outfit. We also have the article/write up coming up in the Boston Bizarre magazine.

I hope everybody had a good weekend and continue to be humble as we all move forward in improving our lives.
