  Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are, last break of the day.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Thank you, as always, Steve Harvey Nation, for riding with
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: us every single morning.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Junior, do you have a question for Mr. Harvey?
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do, Unc, and I just want to get
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: your take on it and see how you feel about.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Life, Unc.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Do you ever think about, Unc, if you would do
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: anything differently in your life? When you look over your life,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: do you think there's something you would do differently?
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: Well... Look, man, I know that's not, you don't get do-overs.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I understand that. And I do understand that everything happens
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: to you in the exact order that it has to
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: happen in order for you to be who you are today,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: the good and the bad. Now, I have learned recently
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: in my life that all those losses I took were
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: not losses. All those L's I took, none of them
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: were L's. They were lessons. that I needed in order
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: to think and feel the way I do today. You know, listen, man,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: of course, as a human being, there are some things
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: if I play my life back, had I known what
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I know now back then, of course, I would have
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: made a series of different decisions. But at the time,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I was making decisions based on the tools and the
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: capacity that I had. So what I'm saying to young
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: people out here today is stop beating yourself up about
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: the decision you made five, ten years ago when you
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: had the capacity of a younger person. You had the
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: tools of a younger person. Of course, knowing what you
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: know now. You would of course do it differently. But
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: that's not the case. That's just not how it's worked.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: You're not allowed. You're not allowed to have the future
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: when you make your present decisions. You're not allowed that.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: You don't get to know all the consequences as you
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: make decisions. You don't get that luxury. You don't get
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the luxury of seeing all the ramifications of a decision
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: you make today. You don't get that luxury. Nobody does.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: You don't get the foresight and you can't feel the
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: full reckoning of a decision you make as a young person.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: You know, they say experience is priceless. It's a shame
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you have to pay for it with your youth. It
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: just costs you your youth to get experience, man. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: it really is that way for everybody. So if I
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: could say something to young people, I would say to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: a young person, look, man, stop beating yourself up because
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: you got it wrong. You are supposed to get it
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: wrong because you got to get it wrong to learn
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: how to get it right. See, if you don't ever
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: take the game-winning shot, then you'll never know what it's
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: like for the ball to go in and win the game.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: And you'll also never know what it's like to miss
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and lose the game. And both of those lessons have
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to be learned. But what is the more valuable lesson?
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: It is when you miss the game winning shot. How
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: do you get the nerve to shoot it again? How
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: do you get people to rely on you to throw
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: you the ball where you can shoot it again? How
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: do you muster the mental capacity to get over the loss?
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: Because that's what you're going to need to know how
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: to do. You ever heard anybody say, man, I had
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: to get over that wind. It took me a long
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: time to get over that wind. You ever heard anybody
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: say that? No.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: No.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: But you know what you hear people say all the time?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: It took me a long time to get over that loss, man.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I paid for that one. The lesson is in the loss.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: You get a reward for winning, but that reward only
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: lasts a little time. How many times have people, how
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: many times you had to really understand this one right
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: here as to what have you done for me lately?
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: You can't really understand that what have you done for
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: me lately till you get some kids. Then you really
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: understand what have you done for me lately. Because kids
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: have short-term memory. See, kids just want and want and
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: want and need and need and need and they just
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: come up to you. They forget what all you did
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: to get them there. Here they come in with their
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: new problem and they lay it at your feet and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: then when you say no or you got a problem
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: dealing with or it's taking you long to put it together,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: they don't even know what it takes for you to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: put it together. They don't have no idea, man, what
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: you've done to put this thing together. They just come
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: in there with the request because they don't know what's
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: behind the request. They don't know the effort. They don't
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: know the sacrifice. They don't know the work, the energy
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: that you put in. You know, man, and they just
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: keep coming with it. And it's a what have you
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: done for me lately? Man, you know how many times
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: I've had so many people, man, I come to you,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I can't get in. I got grown men, grown men
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: who are not my children, who blame me for their shortcomings.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I'm not responsible for your demise. I didn't help him
• 5:48
