  Speaker 1: I don't know a single living soul that has not
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: had to make a comeback on some level. You know. Look,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you could be going along in school as a youngster
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: and all of a sudden fail a test. That's that's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: failure to some young people. I don't You can be
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: a person trying to make a team and don't make
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: the team. That's failure to some people. It's some people
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: who get it wrong in a relationship and lose, lose somebody.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: That's failure to them. It's gonna happen to everybody at
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: one point in time in your life. Now, imagine this.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Suppose you decided to never recover from the failure. What
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: would happen to you? Well, let's look at it. So
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you would stay there in that failure, accept it as
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a failure, and then allow the failure to define who
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you are. I number one thing you have got to
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: do is stop thinking that one failure defines who you are.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: When I'm telling you right now, every failure you will
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: have is designed to redesign you. That is the design
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of failure. It reshapes you, molds you, It causes you
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: to come out of it a different person. All of them.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I did a speech last night, and I made a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: statement because some young person said, man, what happens when
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: you have when you take a lot of als? You know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of l's is losses to young people. So
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: what happened if you take a lot of als? It said,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: mister Harvey, have you ever taken an L before? I said, well,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I was looking at it the wrong way. But according
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: to the way you're saying it, y'all, I took some als.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: But I had to learn something. I never had a loss.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: All my l's was lessons. And you gotta start understanding
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: that that the ls you take in life, if you
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: stop looking at them and losses and look at them
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: as lessons, oh my goodness, it will help you. And
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it's a redefining moment for you to fail at something.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: The problem with some people, junior, is that they allow
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the failure to keep them too long. Like that failure
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: that's it. Man. Do you know how many times I failed?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I had failed so many times. But
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: you know, when I look back on my life, every
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: time I failed, it taught me something. So I started
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: understanding that failure was a part of the process. And
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: once I got that in my head, that failure was
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: a part of the process. I could, I could handle
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it better. Now let me tell you something. Now, let's
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: be honest as human beings. It's hard. Them lessons is hard, man,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: And they throw you sometime. I ain't gonna lie to you,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: or they throw you into something. Some of them lessons
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: is costly. I understand that. But you cannot tell me
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: one single thing you've ever gone through that God didn't
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: bring you through. You can't name one. And if He
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: didn't bring you through it, he's currently pulling you through
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: it right now. You know how I know that because
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: you still here, You're still surviving. You're gonna be all right.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: But you gotta take them failures, man. And I told
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I told the group last night, the failure is a
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: part of the process. It's how you win. Man. You know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know the saying failure is a wonderful teacher. It is.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's the best teacher I've ever had. My father used
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to say something, the best lesson is a baut lesson.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I didn't get what he was talking about back then,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: but I knew now. The best lesson is a bout lesson,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the one you pay for. Oh, when you pay for one, Uh, oh,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that one was sink. I'm gonna tell you, man, a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: true story. This is a long time ago. I was
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: driving nineteen seventy two Chevy, and I was in a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: hurry to get somewhere. And that was a truck in
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: front of this school sign, and the school sign was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: flashing twenty miles per hour. It was a truck parked
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: in front of the sign, and I didn't see the sign.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So I went on, I'm doing about thirty five miles power.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Who please pull me over, Please pull me over. I
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: got a ticket. I told her Man, I didn't see
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: the sign. He said, Sir, that ain't got nothing to
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: do with me. He say, it's posted back there and
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: it's flashing. I say, but I I didn't see the sign.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: He said, sir, I don't know how you couldn't see
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: that sign. That sign has a flashing yell of light.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: So I looked back there and I saw it flashing.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I said, but see, Sir, that truck is in the way.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: He said, that ain't my business. My job is to
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: enforce the law. While I was in a hurry to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: get to was to court. I was winning this settlement
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: for this accident I had, and I was getting eight
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars. On the day that the check came was
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: my court appearance for the speeding ticket. The speeding ticket
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: was two hundred and seventy five dollars. I had just
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: got to check for eight hundred. Brother, that was more
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: than a fourth of that money gone that lesson right there.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I ain't been through a schools on. If I see
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a school, I don't care if the light flashing or not.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I do twenty miles an hour or now. God is good, y'all.
