Favorite Quotes from Lil Uzi Vert
“If you’re you, it doesn’t matter if you’re the most boring person in the world: someone will like you. You’re not trying to be anyone else.”
“There are always people who are into the old way of doing things. I don’t think it’s a bad thing necessarily, but things change – nothing stays the same. If you can stay true to yourself, you’re always going to be legendary.”
“Don’t get me wrong: school is good and all, but school is way too slow for me. Like, super slow. So, I didn’t want to go. I wanted to learn on my own with real-life experiences.”
Tips for success from Lil Uzi Vert
Always be yourself. There’s no point in trying to be someone else or even to be like someone else. Everyone has something special inside of them. Celebrate yours instead of trying to hide it.
Dress for the part you want to play. I want to be a famous rapper, so I dress like one. If you want to be a teacher, or a CEO, or whatever you wish, own it by dressing like you already have the job.
Stop thinking and start doing. Sometimes we overthink when we’re trying to climb the ladder of success. Just go out and do it. Once you’re moving, you’re going to start moving in the right direction.
Define your own success, don’t let others tell you what success looks like. If you’re a singer, maybe winning a Grammy isn’t your top goal. Maybe it’s just to sell an album. This applies to everyone, no matter what it is you want to be successful doing.
