  Speaker 1: Come on, huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody. You're
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: listening to the voice, come on, dig me now for it.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Only Steve Harley got a radio show man instead of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: trying to be about the business. To y'all, I'm doing
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: all I can. But you know what's crazy in the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: efforts that I make, I can do more. When my
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: father used to tell me something when I was growing up,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: he says, son, when you've done your best, and you've
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: done all you can, sit still for a second and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: just do a little bit more. Always remember that, he said,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: when you've done the best you can and you can
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: done all you can think of, he say, sit still
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: for a minute and do some more. And you know
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: what I've discovered in my life, always have a little more.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I ain't ever just out out completely. I can't take
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: another step. There ain't another breath in me. The ain't
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: 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
• 1:14
  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.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: You know, I was watching a documentary about people climbing
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Mount Everest and how difficult climbing Mount Everest was and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: how they have on the hill something called like a
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: death zone or a killing zone where the majority of
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: people run out of oxygen and they have to turn back. Well,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: what's crazy is it's right in view of the summit.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: You can actually see the top of Mount Everest from there.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: But it's that little bit that's left that's just most difficult.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Now I forgot all the reasons why they said most
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: people don't make it from there. More people have lost
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: their lives in that area. I don't know what it is.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: But the people that make it to the top of
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Mount Efforts, they all had to go through that same
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: zone of that same area, but they had a little
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: bit more that allowed them to get to the top.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people have had accidents up
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: there trying that. So I'm not even really sure if
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Mount Everest analogy is a good one. But let's just
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: break it down a little bit more. Let's just talk
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: about life. There's a poem I learned back when the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: host pledging. It's called don't Quit. It goes like this,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: if I make a mistake just trying to drum it up,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: so here we go. It says when things go wrong,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: as they sometimes will, when the roads you're trudging seems
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: all uphill, when your funds are low and your debts
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: are high, when you want to smile, but you have
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: to sigh when cares are pressing you down. A bit,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: rest if you must, but don't quit. For life is
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: queer with his twisting turns, as every one of us
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: must sometimes learn. And many a fellow has turned about
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: when he might have won had he stuck it out.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So don't give up. Though the pace seems slow. You
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: may succeed with another blow. Often the gold is nearer
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: than it seems to a faint and a faltering man.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And often the struggler has given up when he might
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: have captured the victor's cup, and he learns too late,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: when the night came down how close he was to
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out. It's
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: your silver tin of your clouds of doubt, and you
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: never can tell how close you are. It may be
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: nil when it seems afar. So stick to the fight
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: when your hardest hits, when things seem worse that you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: mustn't quit. I remember it because I had a special
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: method of helping you remember stuff back then, but I
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: remembered it, and that point right there has kept me.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: You know, we often talk about scripture and everything, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: then I don't see how I could live without it.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But every now and then, man, somebody has a writing.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: God puts a writing on somebody's heart that delivers a message, man,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: that can help people. I use every motivational tool that
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: I possibly can to climb this letter of success or
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: try to be the best father and the best husband
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I can be. I've done a lot of changing over
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the years, and so have you. But change is necessary
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in order to grow. If you don't make changes, folks,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you can't grow. I was a young man on my set.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I kept looking at him, and a sharp little young
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: dude just on my set, and he had these dreads
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and I mean they would They was super long, man,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: They were well below the middle of his back. I mean,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: it was just long. And he kept talking to me,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and he kept talking to me and talking to me.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: So young 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,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: you would do yourself a huge favor. I said, your
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: image is everything. Man, I said, you keep 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. Now,
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: I keep trying to figure out what you're doing with
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: all that hair. Man, Now you can feel how you
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: want to feel. But I'm like an employer. I employed people.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: So when I'm walking through the hallway and I try
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: to think of you traveling with me and you sitting
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: in a meeting with me, I try to imagine you
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: and your suit sitting there talking business with me, and so,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: just like other employers are, I'm just having a real
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: story with you. So I said, man, you ought to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: consider cutting your hair, he said. Man, mister Hobb, I've
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: been growing his hair. Sound as a little boy, I said,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: you now he said twenty eight. I said, well, how
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: long you want to hang on to what you was
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: when you was a little boy? You know, if you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: started growing your hair when you're a teenager? I mean
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you 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
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: just who I am. It's I said, So you your have
• 6:23
  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,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I like ice cream, but I feed that. But if
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I hang on the ice cream and eat ice cream
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: every single day, my body gonna reflect that. What is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: it that you hanging on to that you don't want
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to let go of? That's prohibiting you from being what
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: all you can be? See, it's hard to be what
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: all you can be if you want to keep being
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: all you was? Don't that make sense to you? So
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I 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
• 7:06
  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
• 7:18
  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 is
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: where the shade is. Over There's where the fruit is.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Over there is where the opportunity is. Over there is
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: where the mountain of goal is so, Why you stuck
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: on here? You got to leave here to go over there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: You can't be all you can be if you want
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to stay stuck on who you was. Change is growth
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: is necessary all. Let's go here, listening into the steed
• 7:59
