  Speaker 1: All right, here we are, guys, our last break of
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: the day. It's been a great day. Thank you guys
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: for listening, as always. We appreciate it. Yeah, Junior, you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: got a question for Steve?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah. How do you.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: Feel about people who make excuses for failures? How do
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: you feel about that?
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: When they make excuses for failures?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you know, like, it didn't work out for
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: me because, you know, I ain't do it this way.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I'll get it next time. You know, I'll try it again.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: You know, they just keep making excuses for failures.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: And excuses, period.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: You know, I think everybody around me knows this, especially
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: people who work with me and people who work for me.
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: I think they all understand this. Steve Harvey does not
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: do excuses. The thing about an excuse... An excuse is
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: only good for the person that's providing it.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: It does nothing for the recipient of the excuse.
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: It only provides a cushiony out or an explanation as
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: to why something didn't happen as said.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Or promised or committed to.
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: And that gives you a cushy out that you didn't
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: accomplish the task or you didn't follow through.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: It does nothing.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: An excuse does nothing for the person that's receiving it.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: Because all I know is now, the thing that I've
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: been counting on, I've been waiting on you to get
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: here with it. When you get here, it ain't there.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: It happens in every aspect of life. I had a
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: guy while I was at work was supposed to fix
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: my TV.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I came home. I'm ready, man. Been working all day.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Cut my TV on. Bam, it don't work. I called
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: this guy. He said, oh, yeah, Mr.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: Harvey, I came by, but I had left a certain
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: tool that I needed, so I'm going to get to
• 2:05
  Speaker 4: it tomorrow. See, that excuse that he gave me as
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: to why my TV wasn't working, it didn't do nothing
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: for me. It created a reason why he didn't complete
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: the task. Now, I'm sitting here going, why don't you
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: bring all the tools you needed, Why didn't you go
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: back and get the tool and come back and fix
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: my TV? Both of them would have solved the problem.
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: But that would have been something extra he had to do.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: So people who work with me or around me know
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: I don't do excuses. I don't do excuses. Because when
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: your paycheck is due, I don't call you at one.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: I don't call nobody work for me and say, hey, man, listen,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: you know, uh, You know that thing you was expecting?
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: You know that check you was supposed to get twice
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: a month? You ain't going to believe this, man. I
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: didn't fill out the paperwork, and now it's going to
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: be 10 days before y'all get paid.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: What?
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Wait a minute, man.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Because the average person, man, they need that check on
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: the day that it's supposed to be there.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: They need it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Now, I done gave them an excuse. Now, I'm going, man,
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: but my excuse is, It does only something for me.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: It does nothing for them. So I don't use excuses,
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: and I don't allow for excuses because I don't give
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: nobody none. If I'm going to be late, I usually
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: tell you. I'll be a little late. I'll let you know.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: But I don't know, Junior. I get frustrated, man, because excuses,
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: that's one of my pet peeves in life. I just
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: don't like them, man. Because I know that all that
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: means is you didn't accomplish the task. And why you didn't,
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: I don't care.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I really don't. I really don't.
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Because what you finna tell me ain't gonna fix nothing
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I need. What I needed for you to do was
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: what you said you was gonna do. That's what I needed.
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: I'm not an excuse person. You know, I just don't.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: I'm just not, man. I mean, look, have you had
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: to give some people some excuses in your life?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have too.
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: But after I learned After I learned from them how
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: it made them feel, I stopped doing it. I don't
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: have excuses. Here's all you have to do to eliminate excuses.
