Former England international Kevin Pietersen announced on Saturday that he will be stepping down from his role as mentor of Delhi Capitals (DC) for the upcoming Indian Premier League season.
“I cannot commit to the time that the job requires. Best wishes to all the players for this season. However, I’ll see you back in the commentary box! IPL is the world’s best league and I can’t wait to see all…

I express like a guide.
Context such as, this is what’s next, this is what’s here, this is what you’re looking forward to, and it’s okay if you forget, I’ll remind you.

You are here.

Writing prompt

A young protege being put in a leadership position and avoiding asking for help at all cost eventually a certain event pushes them into asking a mentor for guidance

You know, there should be a subversion of that one mentor’s trope where they make the protagonist clean up their place, where the protagonist initially finds annoying but then appreciates that the menial toll was supposed to prepare him to become a hero. But the mentor just turns around and tells the protagonist “I was not trying to teach you a lesson. Those were things that needed to be done, but no one else was going to do it.”

The most dangerous business owner in the world isn’t broke, clueless, or lazy.

It’s the one who’s comfortable.

When revenue is steady and clients are happy, you stop fixing problems — but you also stop seeing blind spots. And the biggest breakthroughs don’t come from working harder… they come from seeing what’s invisible.

There’s a “fourth box” in your business — the one hiding untapped pricing power, positioning, and growth — and most owners never open it.

If this makes you slightly uncomfortable, good. That tension might be the exact signal you’ve outgrown your current level.

2/23/26 Advice from my mentor

In the buzz of a coffee shop where its fairly mild, nothing special going on with some executives going over materials at one of the tables and a row of all the outlets being taken over by men and women with suitcases ready for their next trip to another country…

I walk in and smell the roasted beans and black coffee as I grab my order scanning the room to see my mentor Josh tucked in his favorite corner to help me down this rabbit hole of writing…

“You still haven’t opened up” Josh says in a tone thats relaxed but still holds onto disappointment.

“You’re hiding all that great talent pretending like we both don’t fucking know that you are capable… like fuck I’m jealous of your situation and what you got going on. Like really think about it you-“

He grabs onto my shirt and pulls me in looking serious dead in my eyes without expression in with his blonde bedhead hair and rugged shave with the after effects of jet lag making him more serious then usual.

He moves in closer as he taps my head right by the temple three times “You’re letting this magnificent as it is… stop you from letting this”

He moves his finger to right over my heart and pokes at it knowing the wounds etched inside

“You gotta open up more, you have the ability to be better than any of the writers you looked up too… actually all of them… you…”

his eyes well up as he chokes down his emotion not to express the passion he has for this craft…

“Listen to this again… You gotta open up, be unapologetically yourself again, you did in the past and you let the bullshit of the world stop you. You have tue story many would kill to have. Use it to your FUCKING advantage.”

I look down at my hands and rub my scars that run along the edge of my knuckles from fights that stemmed from suppressed rage and battle of male egos that left blood in my mouth but their teeth knocked out…

“Hey none of that past trama bullshit around me, I know its hard but our time is valuable and I need you to really soak all this in Cysko”

he moves his hand off my heart and goes back to his laptop continuing to confirm emails, deals, schedules and contracts…

“You’re leaving a-lot on the table but for now my main advice it finish a single project… just one its good that you have all these things going but your juggling when, trust from my experience its easier, SO MUCH fucking easier when you double down on your efforts and focus on one thing at a time and then feed into your back burner projects later. You only have so much time in a day and I know you grew accustomed to running on empty to such an extent that running on a full tank of gas is foreign to you and I respect the fuck out if that but your going from a young mans game to the real deal now. AND YOU MUST, ABSOLUTELY MUST change your strategy now, I guarantee that you will succeed and thrive if you follow my formula.”

1st)

“Figure out what you genuinely give a fuck about and answer the “who am I” question in your situation Cysko saying I dont know is a valid fucking answer. Now that is known your job is to find the fuck out.”

2nd)

“Keep getting out there meeting new people like holy shit I still can’t believe you met Nikoz Kosovich and got his contact like that. Man’s a fucking legend. Leverage that and the blessings you received from the Chinese new year it literally matches your style and vibe.”

3rd) start a news letter and build up your portfolio. Its all about actually getting shit done and having the habit of doing the right shit on the right fucking platform. Leverage tumblr as your experimental side of just unfiltered madness thats good but you need to let more of it go and be more personal and open up all that shit” Josh opens up his hands as though pulling all the shit out of me I supress.

“Like let all that shit out slit your wrists with the ink and pen and let it all out unfiltered completely raw. Thats what we’re missing in life mow the unapologetic, the unfiltered, the raw material”

4th) learn journalism it fucking helps take a free course easy way to develop the skill and be a better questioner

5th) Most importantly make shitty shit, who cares if it sucks just make shit something to work with like if you didn’t have this blog running for you at all on Tumblr I wouldn’t be here right now, because of this cesspool of writing you have it’s interesting yes but its not enough I need to know what it tastes like, I know it ears at your heart let me know what the feeling is like I want and need to know the whole purpose of writing to an audience is to convey these emotions and your issue as that you don’t let it all out and im tryna fuckin crack you open like a god dam crab leg because you got all these fucking layers around you of shit you havent let go of yet. ABSOLUTELY FOR SURE You need more T-H-E-R-A-P-Y and actually open up this time we both know I can see through your bullshit wall that you set and push others away I get it but that ahit doesn’t work with me because we gotta get that shot out of you and I got my ego to stroke harder than a striper on a pole.”

I let out a snort that escapes me as others around us look and scrunch up their faces as Josh lays down his advice unfiltered spewing from his mouth.

My timer goes off for me to head out for my next appointment

“Well thanks Josh for everything” I casually pack away my notes scattered abroad needing to organize and refine the madness to them as I shake his hand as we part ways. as we split against the parking lot. He shouts across the way.

“OH YEAH CYSKO! DON’T FORGET TO REFINE THE FUCKING ORDER IN SEQUENCE THAT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE SO MUCH EASIER”

I put my hand up with the 👌 okay hand sign knowing I read him loud and clear.

The first 25 years of my life was just an insane prologue… now for me to create my own story with new adventures that lay ahead meeting new people and reconnecting with old allies and clients that have grown in different ways and to uplift, encourage, and empower others that are drowning in the noise.

I never realized how many moves life has made before I even took my turn… like wrestling with a bull now I have grabbed it by the horns and gouged out its eye as I wrestle it to the ground… I realize now all the challenges and obstacles were merely training.

training so that no man could compare. As they may have endured harsher conditions… but they did not choose they just had to endure… and I chose to endure the pain and sit in it to soak it up like blood to a sponge that kept being rung out but would not dry. As time and time again I refused to die. Now it is my turn to take from life after all the saying goes an eye for an eye but this time I am with controlled wrath with a hunger that is endless as the vast void of space.

As I reflect and recall he previously said I was good at producing “magic tricks” with the way of words but to be great. I must conjure illusions like Chris Angel, The Great Gatsby, or like Huddini, so that I can truly recreate myself like the Counte of Monte Cristo.

With the devils charm and a slippery tongue that finds its way between a mature woman’s thighs, with potential that grows. All I need is structure to break free from my old ways and to limit myself so that I don’t burn away as I have done in the past like Icarus… but unlike him I have touched the sun.

Now I am addicted to its heat drawn to it like moths to a flame. Intoxicated by the burning aroma of sulfur and fumes exhausted from poured gasoline as I am lit ablaze.

Now I understand why Dylan Thomas said do not go gentle into the good night, but instead to rage against the dying light. until I burn and turn to ash… time and time again I have arose from the corpse of my former self so that I may burn brighter.

Being the fear of nightmares consuming the void as I burn from the inside out. my blood blackened as it turned thicker than my skin as I burn alive. But to live life on the edge is to be truly alive. All gas no breaks but to ease away until the end of days…

No more kindness for those that stabbed me in the back while I was down. Now to remind them why I wear a crown.

A crown forged in chaos and my own blood that foams from my mouth. A crown that I forged with my own hands with bruises, cuts, and broken bones, from wounds that left scars behind etching in wear and tear but stories of my victories when odds were against me.

A crown that none can wear as it was forged from the iron boots I wore and without realizing every step forward with blisters forged it in my soul, growing heavy with the process I paid in the sweet glory of blood, and sweat that would sting my eyes and the salty taste that would enter my mouth and I would rise from the refreshing cold hard floor.

When everyone quit… I was hungry for more… now here I am with a full plate. How can I be nothing but grateful if my wish was to eat more than I could chew. Now life is enriched with flavors that are sweet and savory with aromas that wet my appetite and that peak my interest with new crafts to peruse and perfect.

i just sent an email to my mentor asking for consultations,,, mind you this man told me we would set up a meeting after he came back from his vacation which was in JANUARY and he didnt email me at all since as he said he would. Now im here begging for scraps like an orphan in a dickens novel
