Steve harvey Man got a radio show. Real glad about

Speaker 1 (02:14):
You know. I hope that God always.
Speaker 5 (02:19):
Keeps me in the frame of mind to try to
be sharing and try to be motivational and ubly even
when it's not felt or wanted by some people. I
have people around me who seem to not benefit at
all or anything, and I can sit with them and
(02:39):
talk to them or take meetings with them to try
to encourage them, and for whatever reason, you know, they
want to just keep going the way they're going. When
you run into people like that, you have to pray
for them. You have to just hope that one day
that they release the change on their mind and open
up your mind to a new way of thinking. A
couple of things I wanted to go over with that.
(03:00):
I want you all today in terms of motivation, I
want you to be aware of statements or old sayings
that have been created that you hear over the course
of time, and you may be applying them to your life.
And I want you to be careful of some of
them because some of these old sayings, man, are not
(03:24):
designed for people who are dreamers, are not designed for
people who have any aspirations of being extraordinary. These are
not designs or sayings that people who want to be
extremely successful at anything or have high aspirations to put
(03:44):
these sayings into your life. Let me give you an example.
Statistics say that's it. That's the one. I want you
to be careful about. Statistics say, be very careful of stats.
When a person says, you know, statistics say one out
(04:08):
of every what see, listen to me. These are things
that sound like they're good, sound solid advice, but they're
setting you up for failure.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
And you can't adhere.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Yourself to a lot of these sayings that's been passed
down from generations, and it's not scripture. It ain't in
a scripture nowhere that statistics say, it's just some people,
and a lot of people who have lost have come
up with these sayings to justify why they keep losing
(04:42):
or why they lost. When I was earth got started
in the business, there were more stand ups around now
than it is today because the comedy boom in eighty
four eighty five was it was s gaining a lot
of momentums, comedy club, comedy nights everywhere. The statistic that
(05:03):
a guy told me I told him I wanted to
be on the Johnny Carson Show, the Tonight Show. The
guy said, one out of every two thousand comedians ever
make it to the Tonight Show. Okay, Now, when he
(05:26):
told us that, some of the comedians in the room went.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Well, wow, man, that's rough.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
Because a guy had also said that there was approximately
six thousand comedians in the country at that time. I
don't know if it was true. I'm just telling you
a guy was out there spewing numbers. I have no
idea how many it was, but he said one in
every two thousand will make it to the Tonight Show.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
And he let the air out of everybody in the
room but me.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
So every night before I went on stage, I used
to do this right here, bae bad. That was the
tonight theme song. I was young opening act nowhere near Hollywood, didn't.
I was in Cleveland telling jokes at one night. But
(06:17):
that was my thing because I was bent and determined
that if it's one in two thousand, okay, why don't
I just be the one?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Be careful when.
Speaker 5 (06:27):
People say statistics say because they are set up to fulfailure.
If you're gonna adhere to him? See that won in
so many it wanted. So many people win the lottery.
But if you don't play the lottery, you ain't gonna
be the one to hit. Not when the dude hit
you go while he was lucky, but he played. Here's
another one. Maybe it's not meant to be. Let's go
(06:48):
one step further. I guess it wasn't the Lord's will.
Don't you dare blame God for something you may have
not done yourself because you didn't get the proper education,
because you didn't do the things you were supposed to do,
because you didn't stay to the task, because you quit,
(07:09):
turned around and went the other way.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Now, maybe it's not it wasn't the Lord's will.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
These are all statements that sound like sound advice, but
they ain't all the time, got nothing to do with you.
Stop letting these old fogy sayings get in your way
of what can happen in your life.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Don't put all your eggs in one basket? Who came
up with this? Who came up with it?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
If you don't pour all your efforts into one thing,
how are you gonna be great at that one thing?
If Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird had
not played basketball sun up to sundown. Magic Johnson didn't
go to Michigan to get an education. Larry Berry ain't
(08:02):
go to Indiana to get an education. These cats was balling.
Michael Jordan didn't go to North Carolina get an education.
They went to play ball. They went to do one thing.
Tiger Woods didn't go to Stamford to get an education.
He went to play golf. Soon as he got good enough,
he gone. These are guys that put all they eggs
(08:25):
in one basket. See what's cool with putting all your
eggs in one basket is you now can maximize your
effort and laser beam what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Your problem is all you.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Gotta do is make sure what is your basket made
out of If your basket is made out of faith, hope,
hard work, and belief, then guess what, that's a good basket.
I'm dumping all mine in it, because ever since I
was a young dude, I've been telling jokes one thing,
one thing only. Even when it got ugly and I
(08:59):
was living in it, I never quit telling them jokes. Man.
I just kept believing that them jokes was gonna pay
me one day, and I'll be dog gone if it didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I ain't take no time off.
Speaker 5 (09:09):
Go work at the Walmart, get me a job, go
back to Ford and big for my job back.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Hey, man, put all your eggs in a basket.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
Just make sure that your basket is made up of faith, hope, belief,
hard work.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Your basket woven by God. What you tripping for?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
You're defeating yourself. Where is your faith? Where is your belief?
Where is your trust? At one point in time, you
got to bleed that God could do what he said
gonna do because he'd never done it for others, He'll
most certainly do it for you. Be careful of these
sayings that's out here, that's aligned by losers and people
to justify why they are not succeeded. Don't apply this
(09:50):
stuff to your life, and it ain't got nothing to
do with you. You're gonna mess yourself up, all right, Okay,
