Speaker 1 (00:00):
Who you are going to be, what you are going
to become, what you hope for. All of this is
based solely on decisions that you will make. So choose
all of your decisions wisely. I wish I understood this
(00:22):
as a younger man, and I'm so trying to get
my sons to understand this and daughters that decisions you're
making right now will affect your future. You know, it
actually begins in the ninth grade. When you're in the
ninth grade, they start keeping track of your grades. They
(00:43):
let kindergarten through eight go, but from nine, ten, eleven,
and twelve they start accumulating the grade point because that's
gonna determine the GPA, will determine your ability to get
into higher education college. So it starts then. So they
(01:04):
started at a young age training you that the decisions
you make now will affect your tomorrow. Well, it becomes
even more important once you're done with school because now
everything you do it's counting.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Everything you do matters.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
You can stop thinking just because you're young, it don't matter.
It matters. What you do at twenty has something to
do with twenty five. What you do at twenty five
has something to do with thirty. Maybe not directly, but
indirectly it will affect you. I was listening to we
(01:44):
were doing a story earlier today about the basketball player
Paul Pierce, and he has a podcast and his podcast
he said that marriage is for old people and poor people.
Now Earth Winnifire said it best in the song that said,
You're always gonna find a few to walk with you.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
I don't care what.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
You say online, you can find somebody to agree with you. Now,
Paul Pierce, who is not married, you are now listening
and taking advice from somebody who's never done it and
has justified why he won't do it because marriage is
(02:27):
for old people and poor people. What that don't make
no sense? That just doesn't. But if that's how he's thinking,
it will affect his tomorrow. And when Paul Pierce gets
at an age where he's gonna have wanna have somebody
(02:48):
by his side, you've got to remember that when you
were younger, you made these certain decisions that didn't that
prohibited somebody from being by your side. So now your
pool of selecting who will be by yourself is going
to lessen the older you get your decisions that you
make today will have something to do with your tomorrow,
(03:08):
So choose wisely.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Nuri Mohammad said it best.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
He said, outside of your relationship with God, the most
important decision that you will ever make in your life
is who you choose to spend the rest of your
life with. That's an important decision.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I've gotten it wrong a couple of times, I really have,
and I've learned in my life that sometimes you got
to get it wrong to get it right. But what
I do not do I do not allow my past
to determine my future either. When you make a mistake,
as you will and oftentimes may, you have the right
(03:47):
to correct them.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You have the right to get them right. Now.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Had I made smarter decisions earlier, I wouldn't have had
to right so much. But I made a low mistakes
a lot. I have made more mistakes than I've gotten
it right. But listen to me. You only need a
couple of wins in life, y'all. So stop letting the
(04:13):
disappointments and the setbacks and the mistakes bury you, because
you only need a one win. Of all the mistakes
you've made, you just need one win. You need one
of them.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
To hit.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
A baseball player becomes a multi millionaire by having success
at the plate three out of ten times thirty percent.
A great baseball player has a thirty percent success rate
thirty percent he fails at the plate, seventy percent of
(04:50):
the time, he makes millions of dollars. Nobody in the
NBA is shooting one hundred percent even from the free throw.
If you're shooting an eighty percent from the free throw,
you're a pretty good free throw shooter. Nobody in golf
(05:13):
every round shoots a birdie. Nobody not every whole. Birdy's
the whole. Sometimes you parse, sometimes you bogey. The greatest
golfers in the world bogey and triple bogey, and that
the greatest golfers in the world. Stop letting when you
get it wrong. Define who you are. You have the
(05:33):
right to make up from mistakes. But remember now, try
to make a better decision in the first place, because
all the decisions that you make will do will have
an effect on your tomorrow. Even though you can't control tomorrow,
you do have a say so in it, so you
can't throw caution to the wind. Make smart decisions today,
pay very close attention because tomorrow may very well come.
(05:57):
Those are my clothes remarks, hope you got something from
it if you did join us tomorrow, God willing, and
maybe you'll get something from it. Then if you don't,
it's because you ain't looking for nothing. So go ahead on.
That's how you gonna end of the Yeah today.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
That's how it started, pretty much.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah, yeah, that's it.
