  What's going on, folks? And hope you are doing well.
• 0:03
  My name is David, and I'm your host of this legendary podcast,
• 0:07
  The Deconstructing Topic Podcast.
• 0:09
  Ooh, ooh, ooh. Are we making it happen? Ooh, for sure. We got a little short one out here once again.
• 0:17
  You know, I got to throw these little short little kind of motivation,
• 0:21
  but I just want to touch bases on a little story that happened to me about,
• 0:26
  I'm going to say like about a month ago, and it's a little kind of scary and
• 0:29
  it kind of reminds you that a lot of times life is not guaranteed.
• 0:35
  The next day is not guaranteed.
• 0:36
  So sometimes in the aspect or in the context that a lot of people want to,
• 0:43
  you know, bring their best version of themselves, become the best version,
• 0:47
  get to wherever they want to do, get to their goals, whatever it is.
• 0:50
  I know that we want to take it one day at a time, one second at a time,
• 0:54
  whatever it is that you want to do.
• 0:57
  But sometimes we kind of remind that sometimes, hey, if you're beginning to
• 1:02
  start something, start like now.
• 1:04
  You know what I'm saying? Don't wait up the next day. And let me tell you something.
• 1:08
  Once again, because I got beautiful stories, motivation. We doing something incredible.
• 1:13
  Trust me. Trust me. Believe in me. Believe in this podcast.
• 1:17
  Believe in this energy, this positive thing that's going to happen.
• 1:21
  As you listen to this, you got to hit those likes. because you got to,
• 1:25
  you know, help me out here. You know, make the little comment.
• 1:28
  Feel free to share because we all got to shut up.
• 1:32
  And once again, I've told people from previous shows that I did,
• 1:35
  and I'm going to have a big one coming up in a couple of months in which I'll
• 1:40
  be kind of reliving and retelling the story of my car accident where I'm celebrating
• 1:46
  20 years of my anniversary, where I'm here to tell this story.
• 1:52
  Let's go. Let's go. But hey, I'm here to tell you another story. That's right.
• 1:58
  So funny, crazy thing. And, you know, sometimes in life, you know,
• 2:01
  sometimes there's things that, ah, that's what, there's a thing called freak accidents.
• 2:05
  Meaning that something happened and there are times that people pass away when
• 2:09
  something crazy happens. You know what I mean?
• 2:12
  Something that's not normal. Right?
• 2:16
  And what happened to me, and just to give you, you know, an idea of what a little
• 2:21
  freak accident sometimes, hey, you know, you hear stories where,
• 2:25
  you know, somebody got hit a lightning. You know what I mean?
• 2:28
  And died, you know. And now that does happen. But again, these are little freak
• 2:32
  actions that you just don't have any control whatsoever.
• 2:37
  You know, you just don't have control. And in my case, what happened was I'm in the train.
• 2:43
  I'm getting off the train staff with those people that know New York City, subways, you know.
• 2:48
  Listen, I love my subway. I ain't going to complain because I don't drive.
• 2:52
  And I depend on the subway, public transportation.
• 2:55
  But I'll be honest, the New York City subway needs help.
• 2:59
  The trains, you know, whatever it is. But hey, I take the train very early in the morning.
• 3:04
  I'm already taking the train at 4.40 in the morning. Boo, boo.
• 3:08
  No, it doesn't sound like that.
• 3:10
  But as I'm getting off, and for those people who have an idea how the public
• 3:15
  transportation in New York City, if you're down and you don't live in New York
• 3:18
  City, let's just say that the train has two doors.
• 3:20
  And when it stops and gets off at the stop that you want to get off,
• 3:23
  any stop. But in this case, it might stop.
• 3:27
  Normally, two doors open. You know, they slide, one left, one right.
• 3:30
  Boom. That's it. And the story, keep walking.
• 3:34
  For once in a while, we get a little malfunction. And what happened to me is
• 3:38
  that one of the doors open.
• 3:40
  And, you know, I'm in New York City, and I want people to understand that.
• 3:44
  Sometimes a lot of people in New York City, we wire, you know,
• 3:48
  we're moving at the speed of whatever it is. We wire to move.
• 3:51
  So one of my pet peeves is that When a train is coming.
• 3:56
  And, you know, and I see that somebody's, like, trying to run through the turnstile,
• 4:01
  running, kind of, like, you know, pushing people.
• 4:03
  And sometimes you say to yourself, man, you know, you get killed or you could kill somebody.
• 4:08
  Sadly, that would be a freak accident if the person falls on the platform and
• 4:12
  get hit by the train, which has happened.
• 4:15
  That would be a freak accident as well, sadly. But it's just that sometimes
• 4:19
  in New York City in the morning, people would just wire so, like, we got to get to work.
• 4:24
  Like if it's the end of the world, you know what I mean?
• 4:27
  So with me, as the door opens, or at least one of the door opens,
• 4:31
  you know, my mind is like, okay, I'm walking out the door.
• 4:34
  Every time I do it, I'm walking out. So as I walk out, I don't know where the
• 4:38
  door, boom, it closes on me again and my book bag is stuck.
• 4:41
  And I see that, you know, I feel like the train just moves like an inch or whatever
• 4:44
  for one second. because sometimes there's a once in a while when you get a train
• 4:50
  and for some reason the train goes backwards.
• 4:54
  Maybe you miss a stop, something to that effect. But all I know,
• 4:57
  that thing went a little bit backwards for one second. And let me tell you something.
• 5:02
  For that one, two seconds, I'm like, what in the world?
• 5:06
  I'm going to get crushed, you know? So now in New York City,
• 5:11
  there's these train stations that they put these guardrails because
• 5:15
  sadly there have been a lot of incidents where people get
• 5:18
  pushed when the train comes so now there's these
• 5:21
  guardrails where it kind of would protect that person but let's see how that
• 5:25
  works let's see if that's gonna help hoping it does i'm hoping that people ah
• 5:31
  there's a lot of people that have to be mindful of the environment and what's
• 5:35
  around and sometimes it you know for me the train platform is like an adventure
• 5:39
  and i'm always looking to the back,
• 5:41
  I'm always trying to stay away from the edge,
• 5:44
  always, because you just never know, one little slip, one little accident,
• 5:50
  you know, I remember one time I'm in a train station.
• 5:55
  And I'm in a platform and a train is coming, right? And I see these two beautiful females.
• 6:00
  And out of nowhere, a rat, a big rat, like the size of a cat,
• 6:04
  comes out of nowhere. And they jump.
• 6:06
  And they're already jumpy. Keep in mind, the train is coming.
• 6:10
  Now, good thing they kind of scare the rat. But sometimes there's rats that
• 6:12
  just be like, yo, wait, yo.
• 6:14
  What you doing in my platform? You know what I mean?
• 6:19
  They be rats like that. But once again, we go back to little freak accident.
• 6:24
  Right there, you know, those two beautiful ladies could have been jumpy.
• 6:28
  Right now, God knows they were afraid of these rats because these rats, God knows what they got.
• 6:32
  Boom, before the train hits them again.
• 6:35
  It's an invention, and it's scary to think about, but for those one or two seconds, I'm like, ah.
• 6:42
  And I go to the gym, and, you know, from there, I normally go to the gym,
• 6:46
  and there was a little scratch.
• 6:48
  It might say, well, not even a scratch, but the rubber from the door was like,
• 6:53
  damn, because that door, it hit me. Like, it pushed me.
• 6:57
  But then my butt back got stuck. And I'm like, oh, no.
• 7:01
  I'm trying to push my butt back. I see, you know, the train just back a little bit.
• 7:05
  Then I'm in the front, and I'm, like, telling the conductor,
• 7:08
  I'm like, don't worry, nothing was going to happen to you. It's just the magnet,
• 7:10
  something with the magnet. I don't know.
• 7:13
  Malfunction, I don't know. Maybe I heard malfunction or something to that effect,
• 7:17
  but nothing was going to happen. Oh, that's nice, you know.
• 7:20
  Of course, I'm here to do this podcast. But it was a little scary because,
• 7:24
  once again, I kind of tell people.
• 7:26
  I've been there. And now there's a lot of people that always,
• 7:30
  you know, kind of live life like, oh, you know, we only live once.
• 7:34
  We only live once. Life is short.
• 7:37
  You know, there's a lot of people that never experienced like a near-death experience,
• 7:42
  never been there before.
• 7:44
  So, hey, if you've been there, amen.
• 7:47
  And again, it was last week, you know, I come across this beautiful lady in
• 7:52
  a restaurant and, you know, we're talking and I'm telling the story about my car accident.
• 7:55
  Then once again, for her brother to be one of those victims in a car accident,
• 8:00
  it's a reminder that, hey, I'm telling you.
• 8:05
  Sometimes I try to say, or at least not to try to tell people your life is short,
• 8:10
  you know, whatever it is.
• 8:11
  I just tell people, do whatever you got to do and do it now.
• 8:14
  The witness of tomorrow, it's just do it now. You should have been doing everything,
• 8:18
  whatever it is, do it now.
• 8:19
  Do it now. When you listen to this podcast, whatever your goal,
• 8:23
  whatever your ambition, whatever you want to do, do it now. I'm telling you.
• 8:29
  Because 20 years ago, you know, I'm telling people about my car accident.
• 8:33
  20 years ago, around this time, I knew something was going to happen,
• 8:36
  but I felt like I needed something.
• 8:39
  I felt like I needed to elevate myself, but I also was just so down and out.
• 8:44
  And bound. Once again, and I found myself a little bit down and out a couple
• 8:48
  of weeks ago. There's a lot of emotions, a lot of thinking.
• 8:52
  There's a lot of things that I want to do, a lot of things that I'm doing.
• 8:55
  That's why I'm doing this podcast. I mean, you know, hey, listen,
• 8:58
  podcast, deconstructing topic, podcast, let's go.
• 9:03
  And again, you just never know. That was crazy for those one or two seconds.
• 9:08
  And then when I went to the gym and I put my head down because,
• 9:11
  again, I had the rub, the dirt of the rubber of the door.
• 9:15
  And I'm like telling the universe, universe, come on, man. You trying to get
• 9:18
  me 20 years ago, what are you trying to do now?
• 9:21
  Because, listen, I want to do a lot of things.
• 9:25
  I am doing a lot of things. That's why I'm doing this podcast once again.
• 9:29
  That's how I'm aiming and I'm on a mission. But once again, to my beautiful
• 9:33
  people that are listening to this, keep mindful of your surroundings.
• 9:39
  Don't wait until the next day to make things happen. Start making it happen now.
• 9:46
  Another lesson, again, and you don't want to sound morbid or anything like that.
• 9:51
  The next day is never guaranteed That's for sure,
• 9:57
