  Speaker 1: are the character builders. See, you got to be forged
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to get to where you want to go in life. See,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: that's what the challenge is and missteps is for that's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: what the failing is about. Now, I know you don't
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: like it. I didn't. I know you not comfortable with
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't. I know you wish it was over sooner
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: than later. I always do. I always want it to
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: be over sooner than later because the later, Man, it
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: just seems like it's so much I got to go through.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: But let me tell you something, Man, if you can,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: if you can forge your way through it and understand
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: that you are forged in life, I don't know. I
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: was on TV in one time and I was doing
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: one of my motivational speeches, and I began to wonder
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: about this experience I had at Ford Motor Company and
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: my last job the auto industry started going down. My
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: last job was in the foundry, and my job was
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: to stand at the end almost where the engines first
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: come out of the furnace. See, the engines are poured
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: into a mold. It's hot, melted down metal whatever they
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: call it, larva or whatever. They pour it into a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: mold and it goes into this furnace that's extremely hot.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: And my job was after the heat was applied to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the engine block, it would come through and it would
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: go through a hardening stage. With the way it was hardening,
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: they would cool it. Suddenly they would flush.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: It with water. It was just blast water on it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: But the fire and the high temperature is what made
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the engine block solidify it because it's got to get
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: real hot, get melted down first.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Then it's got to get poured into a mole.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Then it's got to be pressure hit with water and
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: all of this and then it and it's real hot.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Now it's still hot even though this water been shatter.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: But when it comes out the end of the side,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of flashing in it. It flashing is
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a metal from that to drip through the cast of
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: molding on it, just like flex of extra pieces of metal.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: My job was to hit this engine block in the front,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: which this huge heavy rubber mallet knock all the flashing
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: off the front and when it came around back to bam,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: hit it real hard again on the backside, and that
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: became the core of what the car is. A car
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: without a great engine is nothing. It's just a pretty
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: looking vehicle over there. But if it can't do what
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: it was made to do because the engine blocked and cracked.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: So you can have a car look real good, but
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: if it freezes an engine block cracked your car, you
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: could it's over man.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: You got to get a new block. The block is
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: the core.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: But in order for you for the car to do
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: what it's got to do, it's got to have a
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: strong enginet it. In order for the engine to be strong,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it's got to be forged and steel come through fire,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: get poured in a mole, cooled off, heated, knocked around,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: beat on the front end, beat on the back end,
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: and order for it to be what it's gonna be.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: The mall of the story, folks, is you got to
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: get forged in fire to be what you're gonna be.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You got to get beat up, you got to get
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: pressure washed, you got to have heat on you, you got
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: to get melted down, you got to get pulled into
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: a mole, that's how you become who you are. So
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the tough things that you're going through, the difficult challenges
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and the setbacks. I know a brother who went to prison, ma'am.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And the whole reason he ended up going to prison
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: because he was looking out the little window, looking out
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: in the yard at him working out. And then the
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: next thing you know, man, this brother decided that he
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: was gonna go out there and work out. Well, guess what,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: he's one of the top trainers in country.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Today, he took the Steve Harvey Morning Show
