- 1:12Speaker 2: been laid out for you. You know, if somebody had told
- 1:16Speaker 2: me years ago when I had the dream of being
- 1:20Speaker 2: on TV and then I thought about being a one
- 1:23Speaker 2: of one of the best comedians I could be, you know,
- 1:26Speaker 2: when I when I start if somebody had told me
- 1:30Speaker 2: everything that was gonna have to happen in order for
- 1:33Speaker 2: me to get there, I would have changed it. I
- 1:37Speaker 2: would have I would have said, Okay, well I ain't
- 1:40Speaker 2: gonna be that. How about this? See and no one
- 1:44Speaker 2: can know all of the events of their life ahead
- 1:47Speaker 2: of time.

- 1:59Speaker 2: moment is coming in in your life, always knowing when
- 2:02Speaker 2: you're gonna get blindsided by the enemy. Were really great
- 2:05Speaker 2: to know that, wouldn't it. Well, that's not how it works.

- 2:15Speaker 2: pitfalls and the detours that's gonna be set them, it's
- 2:20Speaker 2: it's it's imperative that you just don't give up. Because see,

- 2:40Speaker 2: if you're doing the best you can, if you ain't
- 2:44Speaker 2: out here just intentionally just messing over folks, If you're
- 2:48Speaker 2: using faith, and that's the belief in things that you
- 2:51Speaker 2: cannot see. If you have something on the inside of
- 2:54Speaker 2: you to keep saying there's got to be more to
- 2:56Speaker 2: life than that, then that's that's you.
- 2:59Speaker 1: You, my friend, have a great chance here.
- 3:03Speaker 2: And if you've ever had that feeling then gave up
- 3:05Speaker 2: on it, Just get it back, Just ask for it back,
- 3:09Speaker 2: Just say, hey, man, I'm getting back to the way
- 3:11Speaker 2: I used to be because there's a change that's available
- 3:15Speaker 2: in your life.
- 3:16Speaker 1: But you got to take it. You got to take
- 3:19Speaker 1: a shot at it. Folks.

- 3:22Speaker 2: you gotta take a shot at it.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Folks.
- 3:25Speaker 2: There's a chance for you to turn this whole thing
- 3:27Speaker 2: around with God's help, but you got to take a
- 3:30Speaker 2: shot at it. You see, this decision is yours. The
- 3:34Speaker 2: decision to lay down, to give up, that's yours. It
- 3:37Speaker 2: ain't even just got too hard for me. Life too much, man,
- 3:41Speaker 2: life hard and too much for everybody. What I got
- 3:44Speaker 2: to get you to see? My father used to always
- 3:47Speaker 2: tell me, it says some best lessons in life, to
- 3:50Speaker 2: born your value and learn the most is about lesson.
- 3:53Speaker 2: I didn't quite understand that, being young, but I show
- 3:57Speaker 2: got it now. Ain't no lesson like a ball lesson
- 4:00Speaker 2: the one you pay for. Those are the ones that
- 4:03Speaker 2: hold to you, that stick to you, that that start
- 4:07Speaker 2: turning you into who you're gonna be. Those are the
- 4:10Speaker 2: character builders. See, you got to be forged to get
- 4:14Speaker 2: to where you want to go in life. See, that's
- 4:16Speaker 2: what the challenge is and missteps is for that's what
- 4:19Speaker 2: the failing is about.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Now.
- 4:20Speaker 2: I know you don't like it. I didn't. I know
- 4:23Speaker 2: you're not comfortable with I wouldn't. I know you wish
- 4:26Speaker 2: it was over sooner than later.
- 4:28Speaker 1: I always do.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I always want it to be over sooner than later
- 4:33Speaker 2: because the later, Man, it just seems like it's so
- 4:35Speaker 2: much I got to go through. But let me tell
- 4:38Speaker 2: you something, Man, if you can, if you can forge
- 4:42Speaker 2: your way through it and understand that you are forged
- 4:45Speaker 2: in life, I don't know. I was on TV in
- 4:49Speaker 2: one time when I was doing one of my motivational speeches,
- 4:53Speaker 2: and I began to wonder about this experience I had
- 4:57Speaker 2: at Ford Motor Company and my lif last job after
- 5:00Speaker 2: the auto industry started going down. My last job was
- 5:04Speaker 2: in the foundry and my job was to stand at
- 5:08Speaker 2: the end almost where the engines first come out of
- 5:13Speaker 2: the furnace. See, the engines are poured into a mold.
- 5:17Speaker 2: It's hot, melted down metal whatever they call it, larva
- 5:20Speaker 2: or whatever. They pour it into a mole and it
- 5:23Speaker 2: goes into this furnace that's extremely hot. And my job
- 5:28Speaker 2: was after the heat was applied to the engine block,
- 5:33Speaker 2: it would come through and it would go through a
- 5:36Speaker 2: hardening stage. With the way it was hardening, they would
- 5:38Speaker 2: cool it. Suddenly they would flush it with water. It
- 5:42Speaker 2: was just blast water on it. But the fire and
- 5:45Speaker 2: the high temperature is what made the engine blocks solidify.
- 5:51Speaker 2: It's because it's got to get real hot, get melted
- 5:54Speaker 2: down first. Then it's got to get poured into a mole.
- 5:58Speaker 2: Then it's got to be pressure hit with water and
- 6:01Speaker 2: all of this, and then it and it's real hot.
- 6:04Speaker 2: Now it's still hot even though this water been shotter.
- 6:06Speaker 2: But when it comes out the end of the side,
- 6:09Speaker 2: there's a lot of flashing in it. It flashing is
- 6:11Speaker 2: a metal from that to drip through the cast molding
- 6:15Speaker 2: on it, just like flex of extra pieces of metal.
- 6:18Speaker 1: My job was to hit this engine block in the.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Front, which is huge, heavy rubber mallet, knock all the
- 6:28Speaker 2: flashing off the front and when it came around back
- 6:32Speaker 2: to bam, hit it real hard again on the backside,
- 6:36Speaker 2: and that became the core of what the car is.
- 6:40Speaker 2: A car without a great engine is nothing. It's just
- 6:43Speaker 2: a pretty looking vehicle over there. But if it can't
- 6:46Speaker 2: do what it was made to do because the engine blocked,
- 6:49Speaker 2: then crack.
- 6:50Speaker 1: See.
- 6:50Speaker 2: You can have a car look real good, but if
- 6:52Speaker 2: it freezes an engine block cracked your car, you could
- 6:55Speaker 2: it's over man. You gotta get a new block. The
- 6:58Speaker 2: block is the core for the car to do what
- 7:01Speaker 2: it's got to do, it's got to have a strong
- 7:03Speaker 2: enginet it. In order for the engine to be strong,
- 7:06Speaker 2: it's got to be forged and steal, come through fire,
- 7:09Speaker 2: get poured in a mole, cooled off, heated, knocked around,
- 7:13Speaker 2: beat on the front end, beat on the back end
- 7:16Speaker 2: in order for it to be what it's gonna be.
- 7:18Speaker 2: The mall of the story, folks, is you got to
- 7:21Speaker 2: get forged in fire to be what you're gonna be.
- 7:25Speaker 2: You got to get beat up, you got to get
- 7:27Speaker 2: pressure washed, you got to have heat on you, you got
- 7:30Speaker 2: to get melted down, you got to get pulled into
- 7:33Speaker 2: a mole. That's how you become who you are. So
- 7:36Speaker 2: the tough things that you're going through, the difficult challenges
- 7:39Speaker 2: and the setbacks.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I know a brother who went to prison, ma'am.
- 7:43Speaker 2: And the whole reason he ended up going to prison
- 7:46Speaker 2: because he was looking out the little window, looking out
- 7:48Speaker 2: in the yard at him working out. And then the
- 7:50Speaker 2: next thing you know, man, this brother decided that he
- 7:53Speaker 2: was gonna go out there and work out. Well, guess what,
- 7:56Speaker 2: he's one of the top trainers in country today.
