  Speaker 1: Come on. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the voice, come on, dig me now
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: for it. Only Steve Harvey got a radio show man
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: instead of trying to be about the business. To y'all,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I'm doing all I can. But you know what's crazy
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: in the efforts that I make, I can do more.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: When my father used to tell me something when I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: was growing up, he says, son, when you've done your best,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and you've done all you can, sit still for a
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: second and just do a little bit more. Always remember that,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: he said, when you've done the best you can and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you can done all you can think of, he say,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: sit still for a minute and do some more. And
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: you know what I've discovered in my life, always have
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a little more. I ain't ever just out out out completely.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I can't take another step. There ain't another breath in me.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: The ain't another thought I can produce. I'm never completely out, man.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Just take a rest for a minute, man, and then
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: just do a little bit more. And I can't tell
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you how many times that's helped me get over the top.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I was watching a documentary about people climbing
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: on Mount Everest and how difficult climbing Mount Everest was,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and how they have on the hill something called like
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a death zone or a killing zone where the majority
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of people run out of oxygen and they have to
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: turn back. Well, what's crazy is it's right in view
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: of the summit. You can actually see the top of
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Mount Everest from there, but it's that little bit that's
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: left that's just most difficult. Now, I forgot all the
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: reasons why they said most people don't make it from there,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and more people have lost their lives in that area.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but the people that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: make it to the top of Mount Efforts, they all
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: had to go through that same zone of that same area,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but they had a little bit more that allowed them
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to get to the top. You know, a lot of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: people have had accidents up there trying that. So I'm
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: not even really sure if Mount Everest analogy is a
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: good one. But let's just break it down a little
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: bit more. Let's just talk about life. There's a poem
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I learned back when the host pledging. It's called don't Quit.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: It goes like this, if I make a mistake, I'm
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: just trying to drum it up. So here we go,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it says, when things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when your
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: funds are low and your debts are high, when you
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: want to smile, but you have to sigh when cares
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: are pressing you down. A bit, rest if you must,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: but don't quit, for life is queer with his twist
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and turns, as every one of us must sometimes learn.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And many a fellow has turned about when he might
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: have won had he stuck it out. So don't give up.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Though the pace seems slow. You may succeed with another blow.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Often the gold is nearer than it seems to a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: faint and a faltering man. And often the struggler has
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: given up when he might have captured the victor's cup,
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: and he learns too late, when the night came down,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: how close he was to the golden crown. Success is
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: failure turned inside out. It's your silver tin of your
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: clouds of doubt, and you never can tell how close
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you are. It may be nil when it seems afar
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to the fight. When your hardest hit is when things
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: seem worse that you mustn't quit. I remember it because
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: I had a special method of helping you remember stuff
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: back then. But I remembered it, and that poem right
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: there has kept me. You know, we often talk about
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: scripture and everything, and then I don't see how I
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: could live without it. But every now and then, man,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: somebody has a writing. God puts a writing on somebody's
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: heart that delivers a message, man, that can help people.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I use every motivational tool that I possibly can to
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: climb this letter of success or try to be the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: best father and the best husband I can be. I've
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: done a lot of changing over the years, and so
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: have you. But change is necessary in order to grow.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: If you don't make changes, folks, you can't grow. I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: was a young man on my set. I kept looking
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: at him in a sharp little young dude just on
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: my set, and he had these dreads and I mean
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: they would they was super long, man, they will well
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: below the middle of his back. I mean it was
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: just long. And he kept talking to me, and he
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: kept talking to me and talking to me. So young
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: man kept talking to me, and I said, hey, man,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: you know, you do your a huge self of favor
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in the business you're in. If you got a haircut,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you would do yourself a huge favor. I said, your
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: image is everything. Man, I said, he keeps stopping me
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in the hallway to try to tell me what you're doing,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: what you are, But all I see is your hair.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Now I keep trying to figure out what you're doing
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: with all that hair. Man, Now you can feel how
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you want to feel. But I'm like an employer. I
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: employed people. So when I'm walking through the hallway and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I try to think of you traveling with me and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you sitting in a meeting with me, I try to
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: imagine you and your suit sitting there talking business with me.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And so, just like other employers are, I'm just having
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a real story with you. So I said, man, you
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: ought to consider cutting your hair. He said, Man, mister Harve,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I've been growing his hair I as a little boy.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I said, holy you now he said twenty eight. I said, well,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: how long you want to hang on to what you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: was when you was a little boy? You know, if
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: you started growing your hair when you're a teenager. I mean,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you're twenty eight now. And I said, so let me
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: help you understand something. Let me let me ask you something.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: What does it do for you? He said, Man, it's
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: just who I am. I said, so you your hair?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: He said no, no, but it's a part of me.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: I said, that part of you that you're hanging on to,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: What does it do for you? I just like it? Well, dog,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I like ice cream, but I feed that. But if
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I hang on ice cream and eat ice cream every
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: single day, my body gonna reflect that. What is it
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that you hanging on to that you don't want to
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: let go of? That's prohibiting you from being what all
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you can be? See, it's hard to be what all
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: you can be if you want to keep being all
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: you was? Don't that make sense to you? So I
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times I've had to change.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Change is necessary to grow. You can't be all you
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: can be if you want to keep hanging on to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: all you was. That don't make no sense. How do
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: you go forward? If you keep going backwards? You can't
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: stay here and go there? Do you understand that if
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: you want to go over there, you must remove yourself
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: from right here? Oh? I got right here is comfortable,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I got right here is safe. But over there's where
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the shade is over. There's where the fruit is over.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: There is where the opportunity is over. There is where
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: the mountain of goal is so, why you stuck on here?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: You got to leave here to go over there. You
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: can't be all you can be if you want to
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: stay stuck on who you was. Change is growth is necessary.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: All let's go. You're listening to The Steve Harvey Morning Show.
