We're better than you ... and we know it
A Rockstar Manifesto
Rockstars do not lie to themselves, or others about who they are. They are not unhappy about the way they look, or pretend to be something they’re not.
They swagger when they walk and they'll look you in the eye when they talk to you. They don’t act how they think you want them to. They don’t let others tell them what to do and they don’t tell anyone else what to do. They do think they’re better than you - mostly because they are.
They're born to succeed, will do what it takes to and always finish first. They don’t chronicle their achievements because someone else will do it for them.
They don’t wear what they do because everyone else does - they do it because they make it look good. They don't wear their collars up, their jeans down, or their caps sideways.
They live the life they want. They are probably selfish, but altruism is overrated anyway.
They don’t over-load barbells and do half reps, and they don’t arch their backs when they arm curl. A rockstar know there are no shortcuts. They wear wifebeaters, but would never hit a women. They treat dames like ladies, and ladies like dames.
They don’t start fights. Occasionally they end them. They don’t feel the need to lie about the size of their wallets, bank balances or golf handicap.
They know their strengths. They don't need to know their weaknesses. Rockstars know what they want, and how to get it. The day you came second, one of them came first. The day you wanted it, they already had it - fuck it - they had two.
They are proud of where they come from, of who they are, and know why they'll always be better than you. It's their world - you just live in it.
