• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, Steve, here we are at the last break
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: of the day. It's been a good day, and here
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: we are with just one more thing. Your closing remarks.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: You know, I've always heard people say you got to
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: take the high road. But you know that's been difficult
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: for me at times because sometimes that hasn't always registered
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: with me. I haven't received it the way I should
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: have taking the high road. But Oprah put it a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: little bit differently, and I received it differently. She said,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: She's always been taught never to meet negativity with negativity,
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: because the only thing can come out of that is
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: more negativity, she said. The only way to come back
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: darkness is with light, she said, and it only takes
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: a little bit of light to affect darkness. And so
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I started thinking, if you're in a completely pitch black cave,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and you happen to have the smallest candle, let's just
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: say a birthday candle, and you light a birthday candle
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in a pitch black cave, it has a profound effect
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: on a very large area in which was normally a
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: completely dark space. Just that one little piece of light
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: from a candle has a profound effect on a pitch
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: black dark cave, and she's absolutely correct. The only way
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: to combat darkness is to be light. And I was
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: talking to the girls and they were saying, Steve, that's
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: taking the high road, and they're absolutely right. That's exactly
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: what people mean when they say take the high road.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: But I just never really received it that way, because
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: it's been difficult for me sometimes to take the high road.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: I've done it many times, but it's been challenging because
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I being the way I am, sometimes I go, okay,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: all right, so this the road we riding towards each
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: other on. Then let's dry these cars and pick up
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: some speed and let's go. But that's not fruitful. That's
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: not too a benefit of me. It never has been.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I've had people help me understand, like when they blog
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: about you. Everybody's on social media some form or fashion
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: or another. No matter how many followers or likes you
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: get on Facebook or something, you're gonna run into some hate.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: And what I was told being in this position was
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: when bloggers blog about you, it's a blog. If you
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: respond to them, Steve, it's a press conference. Because now
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: you gonna meet this negativity with more negativity. You're gonna
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you're gonna heighten a much more negative situation. So what
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: Oprah was saying, I wish everybody received it the way
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I did. It's just light, man. You can't you can't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: win like that. You've got to be light. I've always
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: wanted to be a person that when you walk into
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a room, people be glad to see you. You know.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: I talk to my kids about that all the time too.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You know, you want to be the person when they
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: walk in the room everybody go, Okay, cool, my mad
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Oh that's my dude. What's up? Boy? All of us
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: know someone that walks into a room and they just
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: take that air out the room. Everybody knows somebody like that.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Man when they man, y'all be sitting around having a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: good time. Man, you and your boys or your girls,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: y'all sitting around. Then there's one person walk in and
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the whole attitude go. It's like they take the air
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: out the room because they's just darkness. Man, they just darkness.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: Y'all in there having this light time, and here come
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: this black cloud that's gonna hover over the affair and
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: just start raining on it. I never wanted to be
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: that person. I've always wanted to be a person that
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: when I walk in the room, man, that I could
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: make a difference. I just want to be the bright
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: spot on you know, a little more positivity. You can
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: ask God to help make you relevant. And I would
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: rather be relative on a positive level than to try
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: to create relativity by dragging other people down. These people
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: who have shows where all they do is talk about people,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: and they trying to be relevant by talking about people.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: Or you got haters out there. Who's a whole blog
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: and whole Instagram and whole social media is set up
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to draw hate so they can draw viewers, so they
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: can monetize it and sell ads. Man, you know that ain't
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: no good money. You know how that's gonna last because
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: somebody gonna turn around and say something about you, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: then somebody gonna stop viewing you. It's much better if
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: you try to make your living in a positive way.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: It lasts a lot longer. I say this all the time.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Hate is louder, but love is stronger Youdever, you'll noticed
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: that hate is so loud when they got stuff on
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: all these blog sites, they just talking about people. You go, oh,
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: but love is stronger. It's quieter, but it's stronger and
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: if you just keep loving yourself and keep loving your God,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: and you keep loving the people back that love you,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you can weather the storm. I tell you what's really helpful.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: It's hard for me though. If you could turn around
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: and just forgive your enemies, whether they ask you for
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: it or not, just forgive them anyway so you can
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: keep moving forward, so you don't get stuck on stupid
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: with them. That'll help you too. That's a hard one.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: It's hard for me, But that's a good new too.
• 5:46
