  Speaker 1: Come on. Uh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You're listening to the voice, come on, dig me now
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: for it. Only Steve Harvey got a radio show man
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: instead of trying to be about the business. To y'all,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: I'm doing all I can. But you know what's crazy
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: in the efforts that I make. I can do more.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: And my father used to tell me something when I
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: was growing up. He says, son, when you've done your best,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and you've done all you can, sit still for a
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: second and just do a little bit more. Always remember that,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: he said, when you've done the best you can and
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you can done all you can think of, he say,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: sit still for a minute and do some more. And
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: you know what I've discovered in my life, always have
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: a little more. I ain't ever just out out completely.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I can't take another step. There ain't another breath in me.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: The ain't 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
• 1:15
  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,
• 1:42
  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. Now,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I forgot all the reasons why they said most people
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: don't make it from there. More people have lost their
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: 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
• 2:08
  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.
• 2:20
  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
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: break it down a little bit more. Let's just talk
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: about life. There's a poem I learned back when I
• 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, I'm just trying to drum
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: it up. So here we go. It says when things
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the roads you're
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: trudging seems all uphill, when your funds are low and
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: your debts are high, when you want to smile, but
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you have to sigh when cares are pressing you down.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: A bit, rest if you must, but don't quit. For
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: life is queer with his twisting turns, as every one
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: of us must sometimes learn. And many a fellow has
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: turned about when he might have won had he stuck
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: it out. So don't give up. Though the pace seems slow.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You may succeed with another blow. Often the gold is
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: nearer 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
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: your silver tent of your clouds of doubt, and you
• 3:53
  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 hit. It's when things seem worse that
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: you mustn't quit. I remember it because I had a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: special method of helping you remember stuff back then. But
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I remembered it, and that poem right there has kept me.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: You know, we often talk about scripture and everything, and
• 4:21
  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,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: that can help people. I use every motivational tool that
• 4:33
  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
• 4:41
  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. Man, 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
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: mean 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 you a huge self a 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
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: image is everything. Man, I said, you keep stopping me
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: in the hallway to try to tell me what you're doing,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: what you are, but all I see is your hair.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Now I keep trying to figure out what you're doing
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: with all that hair. Man, Now you can feel how
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: you want to feel. But I'm like an employer. I
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: employed people. So when I'm walking through the hallway and
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I try to think of you traveling with me and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: you sitting in a meeting with me, I try to
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: imagine you and your suits sitting there talking business with me.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: And so, just like other employers are, I'm just having
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: a real story with you. So I said, man, you
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: ought to consider cutting your hair, he said, Man, mister Harve,
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I've been growing his hair. Soide as a little boy,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I said, old of you now he said twenty eight?
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: I said, well, how long you want to hang on
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to what you was when you was a little boy?
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: You know, if you started growing your hair when you're
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: a teenager, I mean you twenty eight now. And I said,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: so let me help you understand something. Let me let
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: me ask you something. What does it do for you?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He said, Man, it's just who I am. It's I said,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: so you your hair? He said no, no, But it's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: a part of me. I said, that part of you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that you're hanging on to. What does it do for you?
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I just like it, Well, dog, I like ice cream,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: but I feed that. But if I hang on the
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: ice cream and eat ice cream every single day, my
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: body gonna reflect that. What is it that you hanging
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: on to that you don't want to let go of?
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: That's prohibiting you from being what all you can be? See,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: it's hard to be what all you can be if
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you want to keep being all you was? Don't that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: make sense to you? So I can't tell you how
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: many times I've had to change. Change is necessary to grow.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: You can't be all you can be if you want
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: to keep hanging on to all you was. That don't
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: make no sense. How do you go forward? If you
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: keep going backwards? You can't stay here and go there?
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Do you understand that if you want to go over there,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you must remove yourself from right here? Oh? I got
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: right here is comfortable, I got right here is safe.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: But over there's where the shade is. Over there's where
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the fruit is. Over there is where the opportunity is
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: over there is where the mountain of goal is. So
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: why you stuck on here? You got to leave here
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to go over there. You can't be all you can
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: be if you want to stay stuck on who you was.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Change is growth is necessary' all, Let's go here. Listening
