Speaker 2 (00:59):

(01:40):
I got to turn about.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Turn.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
You probably got to turn mouth turn out to turn
a wad of the money.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Up, come.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
Come out, You'll think, huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
You're listening to the voice, come on, dig me now
for it. Only Steve Harvey 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
(02:21):
in the efforts that I make. I can do more.
And 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
(02:44):
remember that, he said. 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 complete.
I can't take another step. There ain't another breath in me,
(03:04):
the ain't another thought I can produce. I'm never completely out, man.
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
(03:28):
how they have on the hill something called like a
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,
(03:49):
but it's that little bit that's left that's just most difficult. Now,
I forgot all the reasons why they said most people
don't make it from there, and more people have lost
their lives 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
(04:09):
zone of that same area, but they had a little
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 I
(04:34):
was pledging. It's called don't Quit. It goes like this,
If I make a mistake, I'm 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
(04:54):
you have 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. So don't give up. Though the pace seems slow,
(05:18):
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
when the night came down how close he was to
(05:40):
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
neil when it seems afar, So stick to the fight
when your hardest hit. It's when things seem worse that
(06:04):
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 poem 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.
But every now and then, man, somebody has a writing.
God puts a writing on somebody's heart that delivers a
(06:27):
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 in order to grow. If you don't make changes, folks,
you can't grow. I was a young man on my set.
(06:49):
I kept looking at him in a sharp, little young
dude just on my set, and he had these dreads,
and I mean they were super long, man, they will
well below the middle of his back. I mean it
was just long. And he kept talking to me, and
he kept talking to me and talking to me, said,
young man, kept talking to me. And I said, hey, man,
(07:10):
you know you do your a huge self a 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,
I keep trying to figure out what you're doing with
all that hair. Man. Now you can feel how you
(07:30):
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
story with you. So I said, man, you ought to
(07:51):
consider cutting your hair. He said, Man, mister hobb, I've
been growing his hair. So I was a little boy,
I said, How old are 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're twenty eight now. And I said, so,
let me help you understand something. Let me ask you something.
(08:13):
What does it do for you? He said, Man, it's
just who I am. I said, so you your have
He said no, no, but it's a part of me.
I say, that part of you that you're hanging on to.
What does it do for you? I just like it? Well, dog,
I like ice cream, but I feed that. But if
(08:34):
I hang on 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 I
(08:55):
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
(09:16):
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's where
the shade is. Over There's where the fruit is. Over
(09:36):
there is where the opportunity is. Over there is 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
