Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on, huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're
listening to the voice, come on, dig me now for it.
Only Steve Harley got a radio show man instead of
trying to be about the business. To y'all, I'm doing
all I can. But you know what's crazy in the
(00:23):
efforts that I make, I can do more. When my
father used to tell me something when I was growing up,
he says, son, when you've done your best, and you've
done all you can, sit still for a second and
just do a little bit more. Always remember that, he said,
(00:46):
when you've done the best you can and you can
done all you can think of, he say, sit still
for a minute and do some more. And you know
what I've discovered in my life, always have a little more.
I ain't ever just out out completely. I can't take
another step. There ain't another breath in me. The ain't
another thought I can produce. I'm never completely out, man.
(01:11):
Just take a rest for a minute, man, and then
just do a little bit more. And I can't tell
you how many times that's helped me get over the top.
You know, I was watching a documentary about people climbing
Mount Everest and how difficult climbing Mount Everest was and
how they have on the hill something called like a
(01:34):
death zone or a killing zone where the majority of
people run out of oxygen and they have to turn back. Well,
what's crazy is it's right in view of the summit.
You can actually see the top of Mount Everest from there.
But it's that little bit that's left that's just most difficult.
(01:55):
Now I forgot all the reasons why they said most
people don't make it from there. More people have lost
their lives in that area. I don't know what it is.
But the people that make it to the top of
Mount Efforts, they all had to go through that same
zone of that same area, but they had a little
(02:16):
bit more that allowed them to get to the top.
You know, a lot of people have had accidents up
there trying that. So I'm not even really sure if
Mount Everest analogy is a good one. But let's just
break it down a little bit more. Let's just talk
about life. There's a poem I learned back when the
(02:36):
host pledging. It's called don't Quit. It goes like this,
if I make a mistake just trying to drum it up,
so here we go. It says when things go wrong,
as they sometimes will, when the roads you're trudging seems
all uphill, when your funds are low and your debts
are high, when you want to smile, but you have
(02:56):
to sigh when cares are pressing you down. A bit,
rest if you must, but don't quit. For life is
queer with his twisting turns, as every one of us
must sometimes learn. And many a fellow has turned about
when he might have won had he stuck it out.
(03:17):
So don't give up. Though the pace seems slow. You
may succeed with another blow. Often the gold is nearer
than it seems to a faint and a faltering man.
And often the struggler has given up when he might
have captured the victor's cup, and he learns too late,
(03:38):
when the night came down how close he was to
the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out. It's
your silver tin of your clouds of doubt, and you
never can tell how close you are. It may be
nil when it seems afar. So stick to the fight
(04:01):
when your hardest hits, when things seem worse that you
mustn't quit. I remember it because I had a special
method of helping you remember stuff back then, but I
remembered it, and that point right there has kept me.
You know, we often talk about scripture and everything, and
then I don't see how I could live without it.
(04:23):
But every now and then, man, somebody has a writing.
God puts a writing on somebody's heart that delivers a message, man,
that can help people. I use every motivational tool that
I possibly can to climb this letter of success or
try to be the best father and the best husband
I can be. I've done a lot of changing over
the years, and so have you. But change is necessary
(04:44):
in order to grow. If you don't make changes, folks,
you can't grow. I was a young man on my set.
I kept looking at him, and a sharp little young
dude just on my set, and he had these dreads
and I mean they would They was super long, man,
They were well below the middle of his back. I mean,
(05:05):
it was just long. And he kept talking to me,
and he kept talking to me and talking to me.
So young man kept talking to me, and I said, hey, man,
you know, you do your a huge self of favor
in the business you're in. If you got a haircut,
you would do yourself a huge favor. I said, your
image is everything. Man, I said, you keep stopping me
in the hallway to try to tell me what you're doing,
what you are, but all I see is your hair. Now,
(05:28):
I keep trying to figure out what you're doing with
all that hair. Man, Now you can feel how you
want to feel. But I'm like an employer. I employed people.
So when I'm walking through the hallway and I try
to think of you traveling with me and you sitting
in a meeting with me, I try to imagine you
and your suit sitting there talking business with me, and so,
just like other employers are, I'm just having a real
(05:50):
story with you. So I said, man, you ought to
consider cutting your hair, he said. Man, mister Hobb, I've
been growing his hair. Sound as a little boy, I said,
you now he said twenty eight. I said, well, how
long you want to hang on to what you was
when you was a little boy? You know, if you
started growing your hair when you're a teenager? I mean
you twenty eight now. And I said, so, let me
(06:12):
help you understand something. Let me let me ask you something.
What does it do for you? He said, Man, it's
just who I am. It's I said, So you your have
he said no, no, But it's a part of me.
I said, that part of you that you're hanging on to,
What does it do for you? I just like it, Well, dog,
(06:34):
I like ice cream, but I feed that. But if
I hang on the ice cream and eat ice cream
every single day, my body gonna reflect that. What is
it that you hanging on to that you don't want
to let go of? That's prohibiting you from being what
all you can be? See, it's hard to be what
all you can be if you want to keep being
all you was? Don't that make sense to you? So
(06:57):
I can't tell you how many times I've had to change.
Change is necessary to grow. You can't be all you
can be if you want to keep hanging on to
all you was. That don't make no sense. How do
you go forward? If you keep going backwards? You can't
(07:18):
stay here and go there? Do you understand that if
you want to go over there, you must remove yourself
from right here? Oh? I got right here is comfortable,
I got right here is safe. But over there is
where the shade is. Over There's where the fruit is.
Over there is where the opportunity is. Over there is
(07:42):
where the mountain of goal is so, Why you stuck
on here? You got to leave here to go over there.
You can't be all you can be if you want
to stay stuck on who you was. Change is growth
is necessary all. Let's go here, listening into the steed
