  Speaker 2: All right, hey, you know something. These are my closure
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: remarks today. I've discovered a lot over the years, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: there are some things you can make it without in
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: this world. It really is. I really didn't understand how
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: significant certain relationships work. But I'm old enough now and
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of you are where you can relate to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: what I'm about to say. You can live your life.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: You can lose some really really important things in your
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: life and survive. And all of us know that of
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: losing someone that you cared deeply about, whether you lose
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: him because you all just were separate ways, or you
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: lose him because they passed. But we know the pain
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: of losing someone you loved dearly. And I've discovered something
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: in my life. The greatest loss I ever had was
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: my mother. It was an unbearable pain for me. I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: had never experienced anything like it and haven't experienced anything
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: like it since then. When I lost my father, that
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: was a pain. My mother's pain was first, though, and
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: it was just excruciating. I didn't know what to do.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: I've lost my father, and then I lost my oldest brother.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: That would really hurt me in a different way because
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: he had taught me everything. He taught me how to drive,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: he taught me how to ride a bike, because he
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: did stuff because he was so much older than me
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that my father allowed him to do. My father taught
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: me how to drive, but my brother taught me how
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: to you know, pimp drive. But he taught me how
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to ride a bike. He taught me how to talk
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: to girls, taught me how to save money. So that
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: loss was tragic. And I've lost a lot of things
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: in this and I've learned to live my life without
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: all of them. But the one thing that you cannot
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: live your life without, and that is a friend. You
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: can lose your mother, you can lose your brother, you
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: can lose your father, you can lose your job, you
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: can lose your wife, you can lose your husband who
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and these things can be debilitating and you can live
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: in this world without them, but you cannot live in
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: this world without a friend. You know, the Bible says
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: a friend is often closer than even a brother, because see,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: your friends you pick and choose. Your family is just
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: your family. Now, I loved my brothers, dearly man Flaws
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: and all. I loved him, But losing a friend. I've
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: lost some really dear friends. Wan Hull was a truly
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: great friend of mine that I lost. Greg Calhoun out
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: of Montgomery was the last, well not the last friend,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: but a great friend that I lost. He was my
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: best friend. And then I lost my dear friend Flip Bass,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: who was a founder of our chapter at Kent State.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And losing them three men right there, man was really
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: really rough because they were dear to me. But I
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: thank God for the friendships that I do have, because
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: there is something to it, man, to have a friend.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I look at all that I have. I look at
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: the awards and accomplishments and plaques and all this stuff
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I have. But you know what I value more than
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: all of those awards that I've gotten and everything. I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: value friendship more than that, because friendships give a return,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: a constant return. Somebody you can share your thoughts with man,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: somebody that you can be yourself with, Somebody that you
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: can sit around and they don't judge you. Somebody that
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: you can be around and they allow you to be
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: just exactly who you are, however and whenever and however
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you want to present yourself at that time, and you
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: need that man, because if you think about your work relationships,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: you have to put on to come to work. Oftentimes
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: we do. We got to get up in the morning,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: no matter how we feel, and we got to put
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: on a happy face because we morn and drive people.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We've got to get up and put on the wheel
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: today face because we are responsible for millions and millions
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: of people's attitude on the way to work. We morn
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: and drive people in some days we don't feel like
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: driving all morning, but we got to come up in here.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: We got to be a certain way you at work, Man,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: you have to put on ass You got to put
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: on a different mask to go to work. You know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: you got to fake the funk in front of them people.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: You know, when you get in your department, you got
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to put on that I'm the cheerful employee mask when
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you don't be feeling them at all. You got to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: go to lunch with them and sit next to them
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: in the cafeteria and pretend that they are right when
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: you when they really ain't even your type of people.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: That's why you can't wait to get off so you
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: can just go be yourself again, because at work you can't.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: So if you have a friend, or several friends, or
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: a few where you can sit around and be your
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: natural self, that's valuable. Man Cherish your friendships because when
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you lose them, it's not a good day. Somebody once
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: told me that friendship is essential to the soul. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: think that's a stop anyway, y'all have a great day. Y'all.
