...perhaps even more impressive are the recent appearances he has made outside of the hip-hop arena. Of late, Puffy has shown great interest in the sports and entertainment world at large. He has become a licensed NFL agent, wooing last season's Heisman Trophy winner, Charles Woodson. He is also working on an upcoming movie looking at professional football management which he will star--in and perhaps even produce--alongside Al Pacino...

Conversation after conversation suggested that it was important to have a little fire in your belly. It seems that if you are not sufficiently ambitious in graduate school, you are likely to bore yourself stiff. Choosing a topic that is well within your abilities seems like a sure recipe for a boring book. You will end up boring your professors, yourself, your family and even...
