So on @twitter one of my followers said Swag is more important than MONEY; he goes on further to explain that 'swag opens more doors than money'. My reaction was this 'Hell to the the flipping NO!".
I believe money is not everything and there are alot of things in our world that is more important than money, but when you start comparing money and swag, then you are missing the point of what money can do.
Swag is defined as - appearance ,style ,or the way he or she presents them selves according to www.UrbanDictionary.com.
Money is also defined as - A medium that can be exchanged for goods and services and is used as a measure of their values on the market according to www.theFreeDictionary.com
From the two definations above it clearly shows me the deference. One is the means of measurement while the other is just the appearance aspect. Attention needs to be drawn to the fact that money would be needed to enhance your swag *if there is the need* since swag is more of appearance and how one carries themselves. The nicer one appears the more confindent the individual is.
Appearance is one element that goes hand in hand with money! It would be very wrong to discuss appearance, confidence and ignore the money factor.
An individual who isn't properly dressed is even confident if he/she know he has got money in the pocket; and confidence is Swag. From this scenario you clearly see that this SWAGing effect has come about from the confidence of HAVING MONEY in the pocket
I still hold on to my idea and thought that money comes first before SWAG everyday / everytime.
My Dad always says "always have money in your pocket in case you are involved in a car accident, involving the car and a PLANTAIN TREE, you wouldn't die". with anyone who knows a plantain tree can testify that it has no strength but the fact that you have got money on you, your spirit is confident and would be by you r side. (not letting you die)
I will end by saying, there is an old African saying, that is literally translated as "beauty is sold in the shops" and in this case i will say SWAG is sold in the shops, but remember items for sale are NOT FREE.
