Lowprofile.
For you to survive in the ghetto, you must first understand that life there is totally different from what you watch in Korean movies, Bollywood movies, and even our own dear Nollywood, because the drama you're seeing on your TV screen is a script written by someone or group of people, and this script has been edited in order to entertain its audience.
You don't get to see their mistakes, except if you're part of the acting crew behind the scenes. You don't get to know the risk it takes to shoot on seas, lands, forests, and in some dangerous locations because all of these are hidden or might have been edited out of the movie before it was put out for the public to view.
Most times, when we pick up books to read, we get fired up in our spirits with a picture of what we think failure and success look like. We often forget that every human on planet is like a product; we may look alike, or our manuals and visions might even have something in common, but our purpose and destination will always be different from each other.
Everything you see around you might be real, but most of the time, it's not. You might pick up a religious book to read from front end to back end and then start making different proclamations like, I'll pick up a serpent and it won't hurt me, I'll cast out demons in the name of Jesus or yeshua, I am rich, money works for me, I am supreme, and continue till you're satisfied.
The reality and truth remain that, in order to survive, you've got to work. Ask questions about what you need to do to be successful, because the reward is in doing and not saying. You cannot attain a first-class position by proclamation if you like to speak in tongues from now until 2040.
You don't have to do it according to what you've read or what you've seen others doing because everyone's manuals are not the same, and it's high time we stopped thinking that Mr. A's mistakes or successes must be your own too and erased such a picture from our minds. If you're truly rich and have billions and can as well do different magics and tricks, you don't need to do self-ads. Like Yorùbá would say, agbọn to ló mí nínú kìí pariwo.
