Ar You gotta turn you to turn out, turn to you love, you got to turn out to turn water wan of yall, come come on your thing it uh huh, I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show to date. Let me share something with you. I've had to learn this one over and over and over and over, and probably still have to teach it to myself too. This is a hard one to get, but it's one of the principles of success. It's called patience. Patience. Now, I can't tell you how many times I've gotten myself into a jam or a situation because I got impatient, because I wanted something to happen now, So I made a move on my own I tried to push something. I wanted the results of it now, and you know, I kind of think that's human nature. I think all of us are guilty of that from time to time. But I was guilty of it a lot. You know. I just wanted what I wanted right now, and I did some things to try to push it forward. Here's the thing that I had to learn about patients. First of all, success is not an overnight process. It's a long, daunting task. And I'm not saying it to sound discouraging to anyone, but I'm saying it so you can prepare yourself. If you have any aspirations are becoming successful, get ready for the dog fight of your life. Get ready for one of the hardest things you'll ever attempt to do, and that's become successful. Now that those requirements are becoming successful, it's what stops most people once they strike out on the road to success, and they see how difficult it is, how many pitfalls, setbacks, hardships, how high the mountaineers is to climb, how deep them valleys get sometimes, man, how strong the current is in the rivers you have to cross, how really icy cold it can get out there sometimes, and man, Lord have mercy, how incredibly hot it is out there. Sometimes it's it's all of it. Becoming successful is all of the things you could imagine that can happen. It's going to probably happen. Now, it's how you handle it and how you view it determines whether you get through it. How you handle it and how you view it determines how you get through it, because it's going to happen. And so what you've got to learn in this process of success is patience. That is going to be some days when you're trying to get it right, when you're trying to get it together, that it's gonna be some setbacks, that it's gonna be some difficult days and difficult times ahead. That it's going to be some moments, man, when you just feel like you don't have enough to go on. You can, you will, and you have to. But you got to be patient. See, so many people give up right before the turn can even happen for you. You've you've heard old people say, You've heard the saying that it's always darkest before the dawn, which would simply means, you know, I mean, this is about as pitch black as it gets around three thirty, four thirty in the morning. Five. It's pitch black because it's it's it's, it's it's I don't know. It just feels that way, don't it. You know, it's it's darkest before the dawn. Every accomplishment that I've had in my life, every jump in statue, every award, every increment, every dollar climb, every raise, every elevation in my career, all my life, almost all of them came on the heels of a setback. Almost all of them came off of off of a situation that I was working through, that that that was about to bring me down, that I didn't see an answer to. Almost all of my successes, awards, rewards, however you want to look at it came on the heels of something that could have been devastating or something perilous for me. I don't know about you, but that's how it's happened for me. I mean, right when it looked hopeless, when I didn't see a way, here came the blessing. I mean, man, I cannot even tell you something tragic was happening in my life when the book came out. Something traffic trapped or tragic was happening in my life. When family Field came along, something had gone incredibly wrong when I started to syndicate a radio show in two thousand five. I'm telling you, man I and I I don't know why it is that way, but that old saying it's always dark as before the dawn is so true. When I lost something, and I lost what I thought was everything I had, here comes the blessing that caused me to have everything I got. I can't explain it. I don't know why it is, but it's simply to me it's a test of my faith. You know, Pete Pablo got a song out on this album that he came out with back in two thousands, something called Diary of a Center. I'm not a big hip hop fan, so I ain't trying to flex that information. It's just happens to be my favorite hip hop album I've ever heard. I don't know the name of the song, but one of the lyrics says um he says uh uh. He was talking about being down half a tank of gas, two cigarettes, scraping up change in an ash tray. But I realized it was only a test of my faith, and right when he was about to give up something jumped off for it. But I see, I've been in that situation where I've been down to a half a tank of gas and I was scraping up changing an ass track. I think a lot of people can relate to that. But off the heels of almost all of mine mishaps and demises came a success story because it is a test of your faith. It is do you really want what you say you want? Are you really determined as you think you are? Are you really gonna trust in me like you say you trust in me? Are you going to wait like you say you're gonna wait? Are you gonna lose your patience and go take matters into your own hands? Because I can't tell you the mistakes I've made like that, I've taken matters into my own hands and had some just messed up everything, just rushing because I wanted now, so I, you know, sign a deal here that ain't really that good a deal, but I'm signing it because I need to make this now. I need to try to push this to happen. And and then and then when the big deal was around the corner, I couldn't be cause I was into this little deal had I just waited, man, had I just waited and not not lost patience? What God had for me was just around the corner. And that's what happens to a lot of us. I had two women on my show the other day. We were just sitting on stage just crying, man, because they had been blindsided. Their husbands came in and just said I'm leaving. I want a divorce. And they didn't see it coming. And this one lady was saying, well, who am I if I'm not his wife? Who a mind? She had a twenty one year old son. Who am I if I'm not his wife? Well, you know what. The long story, I had some experts here to give him some help and what to do. This guy wrote his wife a five fifty dollar check and just said here, here it is. I'm not giving you nothing else, and he walked out. I said, oh my goodness, man, this one was devastated. But that there's an opportunity here. There's an opportunity in losing what you think is losing your husband and your primary breadwinner. Is a discuss is a chance to discover, well who am I? You know, if you've been lost in this world talking about who am I if I'm not his wife, Well, here's a gonna be a great time for you discover who you really are. And then he could also be a great time for you to discover a man that really does love you and standing by you. Be All of my successes have come off for heels of great demise. Think about it, y'all. Stay patient. God is always coming. You're listening too. Yeah, all day, ladies and jentlemen, boards and girls, and anybody else is able to listen to this show. Gather yourselves, head to the basement, bunker down anything. That's what this is. This is that anna amble alert. We got Junior in the car with us and we ain't bringing him back.

And the lady came in and said turn on anything. Light came right on. So now they asked me to turn it on, but I'm I don't know, So I said, Alexa, cut the light on.

He also gave a speech to the students, and he told them that he was very proud to live in Florida. Praise them for the strength that they've shown after the incident. Uh. Dwayne also tweeted about the visit, saying, our conversation about bridging the gap between the students from Parkland, Florida and Chicago was really impressive. These young adults get it. They understand the power of their voices for the ones that often go unheard. And yeah, that's absolutely true, because these are some of the most articulate young people that have come along in a long long time. They really are. That's good. Yeah, that was good. They were so happy to see him. M hmmm. Uh's always been I think bright minds. I think that the cause though the Cause has elevated these kids to a stronger viewpoint.

Yeah, and that's why. That's why. Well, and they were big fans of his and the Miami Heat. And one of the students that was um killed down there was buried in Dwyane Wade's jersey, so that really touched Dwayne, and he just wanted to go down there and just you know, talk to him and and give them some support and let them know, you know, it was so bad.

With the news, Oh my goodness. Okay. The Trump administration is suing California over three laws, which it says keep local officials wom enforcing federal laws on immigration used. Attorney General Jeff Session says California is interfering with enforcement, but Governor Jerry Brown says nothing could be further from the truth. Your refusal to apprehend and deport those, especially the criminal element, effectively rejects all imgration law. It's a rejection of law, and it creates an open borders system. Like so many in the Trump administration, this Attorney general has no regard for the truth. What he said earlier today is not true. It is a lie. Governor Brown says that the state's law exempts criminals from protection and not protecting criminals while simply leaving the rest of federal immigration enforcement to the federal officers who are charged with doing it. A Florida grand jury has formally and died at nine year old Nicholas Cruise on seventeen counts of first degree murder. He's got some other charges as well, but under Florida law, the first degree murder charges made Cruise eligible for the death penalty. A date for his arraignment will be announced soon. Meanwhile, the Florida House and Senate has passed a package of gun control reforms, so it's now up to whether the governor signs that into law or not. Staying with the Sunshine State for a minute, Uh. The Florida middle school teacher I told you about yesterday who was bounced out of the classroom this week after the Huffington Post reported that she was hosting regularly a white racist podcast. She now claims that the podcast was only quote satire school officials Day. They will now investigate whether Diana Volatage is really a racist. They'll investigate that matter. By the way, the TRU administration is now looking for another topic. Economic advisor in the Brookings Instwo says the Trum administration has had more turnovers among senior aids during the first turching and a half months of it than any of his four most recent predecessors had over two whole years. Finally, today's March eight, a certain McDonald's in Lynnwood, California has decided to flip its Golden arches upside down. I know what you're thinking, but no, this is not like the movie Coming to America McDonald's. I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Archers minus the Golden arcs. Yeah, it's not that. It's not that issue. The flipp is because today is International Women's Day. Franchise e owner of Patricia Williams wants her stores and to be a w for today, so everybody says Happy International Women's Day. Everybody back with more entertainment Today's trending topics. Twenty minutes after the hour on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to Steve Harvey More Show. All right, today is International Women's Day, Carla, Yes, yes, thank you for that. In this world would be nothing. Come over, thank thank you, thank you for that. Love, appreciate it. Today gives us an opportunity to recognize all of the economic, political, and social achievements women have accomplished throughout history in the fifteen countries where it is an official holiday. Well, Steve, you're gonna like this. Purple is the official color of International Women Today found it more than a century ago after some fifteen thousand women marched in New York City to demand better working conditions and voting rights. Purple signifies justice and dignity. It was, oh my god, a hundred years Yeah. Yeah, the purple and gold is over a hundred years old. I don't see there. I want to thank God for my mama. Yeah, yeah, man, greatest woman I ever met. Yeah, I have to go with you on that when my mom. Yes, lover, lover, lover. Purple. As you know, Steve signifies justice and dignity. And I know you have a lot to say. You love women and you're a champion for women. Steve, You've written books to help women, Your shows are dedicated to to to uplift women a lot of times. So I mean, you know, look, I mean, for me, it's a no brainer. You know, it's every day, it's not just today. It's just honoring women. I mean, I was raised that way to honor women. You know, I wasn't brought up any other way. I had a mother, two sisters, and your fathers always taught to honor women. I can't imagine being disrespectful, you know, I just can't older women to this day, man to this to this day, somebody bring an elder their mother to the show. Steve, my mother fair I take pictures with him? Are not even supposed to it secure to be tripping and take pictures. Came to that. I always have always had a real affection for women. You know. The first woman I ever loved was my mother, you know, that was the very first one. You know, it's been a it's it's just been a real thing. You know. I hate that this world is coming down to has come down to the way it is now with so many levels of disrespect.

That's why only Reesa's on the screen. Harry, Harry, Steve, Teresa. Yeah, that's good morning everyone. Morning. Um, what's your comment, dog My com Man, is that I would like to see women, especially African American women are all women empower theirselves and help each other to move up. You know the latter. If you in a place of responsible or a good job or a professional job, and your sister comes in there, hold hold on, hold that thought right there, hold that thought. We come it right back. We gotta go break. You're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, we were underline Steve with Teresa on this International Women's Day. Um, Teresa, sorry, I had to cut you off. Dollar. Could you repeat what you're saying? Please? Sure? What I was saying, Stephen, thank you for your consideration is that women should empower each other. When you move up a corporate ladder or just a local ladder of authority or professionalism, and a sister comes in there and you are able to help them, don't be snobbers. Don't be like I arrived or you know who were you or you're you'll be low. Let's empower and help each other to strass each one, each one. You know. I'm sorry to keep you keep keep talking back. I just feel that we we can run this thing. We are smart, we are intelligent, We are strong women, especially black women. We know how they do it, where to do it, and where to do it. So let's do it and empower each other to not bring each other down, each other up. That's all I did to say, that's right, and you it's important. You know that's that's what happens man to a lot of us, not just to women, but for women. I can understand exactly where she's coming from because we get to where we're going, and I don't know if we think that if we're the only one there that to keep us special off, we don't want to show nobody else how to do it. My mom always said, God don't bless you to get a house up on the hill, and you don't show nobody else how to get up on the heel. Both right, and so what she's saying is it's just to get people to help one another, to show him how it's done, reach back to teach one You know, she's right, She's right. All right, nephew, it is your turn before we do that. Coming up at the top of the hour, right about four minutes after it's today's Strawberry Letter subject it's so good I can't even think straight.

So what can we do for you? Well? You know, I truly believe that sometimes people have and you know, I've seen one of the more movies they got with it Gotta bucket list or whatever they called it. You know, people trying to do things before they leave here. I guess I was just sitting around trying to figure out what I could do and what I wanted to do before I left this world and went on to what he has for me next. You know, I don't believe in doing anything unless it's preyed on first. Oh yeah, if you don't mind, maybe you can uh, you know, before I can tell you my wish, we we prayed that the wish would come true. You you you you're not doing anything like that. Oh no, I don't mind praying. That's what we're here. Five Now your head with yes, yes, yes, sir? Is your head back? Yes, sir, yr sir, here, Oh the God, we come to you in the umeless way.

Do it now, Steve, and I could be reading your letter on the air. That's right, all right, Tommy buggalo up and held on to We got it, Thank you, all right. Subject, it is so good, I can't even think straight. Dear Stephen Shirley. Hopefully not this way, Dear Stephen Shirley, I need some don't that right here? Good lord, it's a little different, alright. I I need some real advice here. I've been married for a year and my wife recently started a new job. She was enjoying her job, and everything seemed to be going in the right direction. One weekend when we were chilling at home and my wife discussed confessed that she is falling for a man at her new job. I never suspected anything, and I was shocked that she admitted it. I was very hurt, but she begged me to be patient and help her work through this. She was truthful about everything and seemed to be genuinely sorry, so I said I. I told her we could move past it. She said she was going to avoid him at work and it would all be fine. Well. A later, she came to me and told me that she and the guy couldn't avoid each other at work, and now they are in love with each other. She told me that he lives with his girlfriend, though, so that's keeping them from being together. I found his girlfriend and met up with her. She already knew everything and she was not leaving her man now here. I am all confused because my wife is still doing her wifely duties at home, like cooking, cleaning, giving me regular foot massages, and making good love to me. When she makes love to me, it seems like she still wants to be with me, But I can't shake the feeling that she's only here because she can't be with her coworker boyfriend. I don't want to be a fool and let her continue to a house with me. Should I give her an ultimatum? Or should I wait for this to blow over? Maybe it's just a workplace fling. I can't even think straight. What do you think? You know what? I'm gonna be honest with you. I really thought you were gonna say that after you contacted his girlfriend. Uh, you know, and you met up with her. You hooked up with her. I thought that's what you were gonna say, honestly, But to my surprise, you didn't. So right there, let me know that you're a good man. You love and you want your wife. You want your wife to yourself at home. Uh. You you've shown her that by sticking by her after she told you that she had feelings and she was in love with her coworker. You stuck by her. The problem is she's not honoring herself, you or this marriage or the marriage vows. She's not sticking with you. Uh. This is not blowing over like you say. You say you should wait for this to blow over. This is getting worse. They're getting deeper involved. She's allowing this man who already has a woman who you've met, and she says, she's not even him. She's allowed this man to come between the two of you, to come between your marriage. Um, and you're going along with it, you know, I say definitely yes. Give her an ultimatum. Tell her it's either you or him or you're out. She's playing and your marriage is not a game, see Shirley. Yes, yes, I can't me and me and you on two different pages with these letters this week. And that's a good thing. Yes, it's a beautiful thing. I'm and I appreciate the perspective you took. You took a wholesome You talked about the marriage, and talked about commitment, you talked about honesty. What is what are we talking about? Let me let me get you that this letter. We started a new job one week hend we're chilling at home and my wife confessed that she falling for man at her job. She came in and told list to who right there? See that the opening of this whole letter. My wife confessed that she's falling for a man at her new job. Who she tell it to? You can't be talking about me, No, he's talking about No way you're talking about me. I never suspected anything, and I was shocked that she admitted it. I was very hurt, but she begged me to be patient and help her work through this. What kept your work through what? You're falling in love with a man on the job. You want me to help you work through it. I don't give a damn about your job him, how much it pay, how new and fresh it is, but you won't me to help you work through it. We're not working through a damn thing. I'm gonna try to be patient for I get to the violence of this letter, but let's try to move on. She says she was truthful about everything, genuinely sorry, So I told her we can move past. Steve see well, Steve um, Yeah, all right, we're in the middle of this strawberry letter. I think we may have lost connection with Steven. We'll get him back, of course, like we always do. The subject is it's so good I can't even think straight. And uh, Steve is saying there's no way that this woman could have come in the house and told him that, And absolutely, I think we're in agreement there. We're just saying, yeah, I mean we definitely said you drop my thing. Cut off, y'all hear me? No, we didn't hear anything. You've been gone for a minute. I've been gone for a minute. Yeah, for a little minute, y'all. Miss what I had to say? This unbelievable ass Let him go back. It was very hurt, and she begged me to be patient and work, help her work through this. Then she said, be truth about everything. Seeing Junior, I told her we could move past this. Who wrote this letter? What man? You know wrote this damn letter? We come back. I'm a destroy this whole letter. All right, we'll be back at twenty three after you're listening to the Steven Show. Hey, listen, coming up in about twenty minutes. You don't want to miss this. Mason Pryor. That's Richard Pryor's son. He's going to be on Apollo tonight. We'll play some of that for you. But right now, come on, Steve with part two of your response to today's Strawberry letter. You yeah, subject, you forgot? You forgot? What? Subject? Is so good? I can't even think straight. This is uh, it's so good. I can't even finish at the end of this man, I'm on the mike. This man, this man has a wife that came to here one weekend, they're chilling at the house. She confessed she falling for a man on her new job. Not right off the dribble. She told this to who It's why I'm confused, because you're you ain't coming into my house to tell me that you're falling for a man on a new job. He said. I was shocked. I never suspected anything, and she admitted I was very hurt. But she begged me to be patient and help her work through this. What confused. She was truthful about everything. It seemed to be generally side, so I told her we could move past it. She said she was gonna avoid him and work and everything's gonna be fine here in the crazy part. Well, a month later she come to me and she told me she and the guy couldn't avoid each other at work, and now they are in love with each other whole house. Is you telling this in in her house? Now? What? No? No, no, no, no, no no no, no shulling no no no. I'm sitting up. I don't give it that. Not. No, you're not coming in my house with some more information about a man. And what you're telling me is bigger than the information I got in here. That's not happening. Ship. I'm sorry, you can get a move on. Path that is her house to my house. Hell, she told me that. She told me that he lives with his girlfriend though, so that's keeping them from being together. So now this woman then mustered up enough guts to tell us, sorry ass husband and hus and the fact that he got a girlfriend is the only reason. That's the only thing stopping us from being together. Damn you, the marriage, the vials all this week got. What's stopping us from being together is his girlfriend. But how the hell she keeps feeling comfortable enough to tell this to you? My wife not that comfortable. And you want me to tell you why because my wife, No, she can't bring nothing to me. That sound that he because I didn't do something. Mmm, I'm gonna do something. Now let me tell you what I ain't gonna do. What this dude wentn't did? I found his girlfriend? This is the husband found this man that's in little with his w I found his girlfriend and met up with her. She said she already knew everything and she was not leaving him. So now he I am confused. Who was this punk? As? Who is this dude? This set up here called this man. Girlfriend, you want to meet me and you know your loves man? He talking to my wife? Wait when you're gonna meet him? See all this meeting and talking, but you ain't going to the sauce of the problem partner. How you ain't had this conversation with this dude? You're sleeping with my wife? Man? What what? But she's comfortable enough to tell my punk as I wish my wife would get that damn comfortable. I'll tell you right now, we're gonna be all over t m Z. I swear to god, we're on TMZ. Come in here. Tell me about what she's gonna do with somebody else and setting me up with it? Now here, I am confused, confused? How weak? This is not a getting weaker, it's getting weaker.

Is missing man I met with his girlfriend? White? He hateah? All right, then, I'm confused because she doing her wifely duties like cooking, cleaning, give me regular for massagy, and making good love to me when she makes love to me, it seemed like she's you'll want to be with me, But I can't shake the feeling. Why are you reading it like that? I'm through? I'm so damn mad this here, boy, she practicing on you for? What's she gonna do with the man that she not in love with? Is she comfortable enough to share with you? What kind of mad you got? I don't know what kind of man you are. I don't know where you're from. I don't know who your daddy was. I don't know who you made of. I don't know where your home is at. I don't know where you're blocked. I don't want your gun, I don't I don't know what that is. This need to be in this letter? Be quiet? Surely you don't tell me what's sat Calm it down, Thank you, This didn't happen to you. She's only here because she can't be with her coworker boyfriend. I don't want to be a fool or let her to continue to play house with me. You don't want to be a fool? Where you been one through the whole lot of While you wait until we get to the end and let it.

Maybe it's just the workplace fleeing exactly what it is, and she doing it in front of your face, and she telling you because she know you ain't gonna do nothing about it. I can't even beat straight.

I don't do the things in front of women that I do in front of my dudes. They're they're different, they're special. I mean the mere fact that you could give birth and put a life in this world. Dog, that's well, hello, that's something so major. Absolutely it is, you know. I mean, dog, you win right there. I mean, what can we do? You win? It trumps all else I got. You make a lot of money I got, you paid for the house I got you. The only want to work in that house. You can't make it. You can't bring a life in him. It's it's a it's an incredible thing. I I don't mean to just get it down to that, but sometimes, man, you gotta get it down to that part where, Okay, so Steve, wouldn't make them special, that that they become mothers who in your life was more important than your mother. For the most of us, for the most of us, you know, man, there have been other things the most of us. The mother, man was that's the first world Mama, I know. For me, Mama, I was gonna say success, kindness, being generous, all of these qualities that my mother, you know, taught me. Independence. It's it's just like you said, Steve. For me, it was right there. My mom and my grandma strong women in my life, you know. And now I'm raising the starter trying to teach her those same qualis exactly. And my mom was a single parent as well. And I just always thought that my mother could do anything. She could do anything. I mean, she was so fearless and strong and fierce to me, you know, as a woman. She she was my everything. My mother was really she was. All right, um, let's just tell you a little history about International Women's Day. It gives us an opportunity, of course, to recognize all of the economic, political, and social achievements women have accomplished throughout history. In the fifteen countries where it is in a usual holiday, purple is the official color of International women today. Uh found it more than a century ago, Steve a century ago, a hundred years ago.

I will be there. I will talk about today's Strawberry Letter, of course, and we'll talk about the trending topics and my fresh strawberry pick of the day. Steve, it's on you, Mr President. Shall I say? Yeah, do y'all want to have y'all Another presidential question from presidents. Oh hello the red phone you have one? Mr pre President? Would you be building a wall as well?

What if I say, depending on what they're doing, because some jobs women ought to get more money for something. I think women, for beach, should be paid for having children. Yeah, I love it. I think for every child you have, y'all to get it at least at least quarter of a meal. What I cloth to make it get your hands off, and I got some clothes remin All right, let's go, Steve President. You know, I was thinking today as always, about what I could say encouraging the people. But let me ask you a question. What would you do or what would you attempt to do or what would you become if you knew you couldn't fail at it? What would you do? What would you attempt to do or what would you become if you knew you couldn't fail at it? Man? That simplifies it quite a bit, don't you, because then it eraceist a lot of things that stops people, first of all, of the racist fear or failure. Because I just said, what would you do or become if you knew you couldn't fail at it? What would you do? It opens people's minds up to a wide range of things. Well, I've often looked at it that way. I've attempted almost everything I've ever wanted to try before. You know, if my life ends, I can really say I had a full run at it, that I didn't leave nothing on the table, that I've tried most of the stuff that I've wanted to attempt in my life so far. But what about those people who are frozen because the average person won't attempt something because they think they'll fail, or they get hawked out of it one way or the other. I'm gonna share with you a few fail proof measures that you can apply to yourself immediately that will limit limit the chance of failure. Notice I said limit. Nothing stops failure. Nothing. But oftentimes you gotta understand what failure is. Failures could be the one thing that you need to get to your next goal. Failure is the one thing that becomes a very valuable life learned experience. So it's not even when you don't make it, you've gained something from it. But here's the first thing you could do to ensure some fail proof measures. Some things you could do. Number one year work ethic. You've got to increase your work ethic. You've got to apply yourself wholeheartedly to something. Secondly, you have to have a relentless pursuit. You have to want it so badly that living without it is unacceptable. Your work ethic and your relentless pursuit has to come into play. You cannot be successful in this country without this. Now. Now you can try it another way, but I promise you, you'll be on the sidelines like everybody else. You've got to have a work ethic and a relentless pursuit of something. And failing at it and not achieving it, it's absolutely unacceptable. Next thing, you need to become a student of whatever it is that you in pursuit of. If it's comedy, you gotta be a pursuit of the comedy game. If it's engineering opening up your business, you got to become a student of that business of engineering. You gotta study it. You gotta know what's going on. You got to know what the parameters are. You gotta know the new and the new things that they're doing in it. Right now, you got to educate yourself to whatever it is you in pursuit of, you have to become a student of it. The next thing you can do is you can never quit. Look, man, if you quit, there's no way you'll see the end. Too many people give up before the blessing comes. See think about God. When you ask God for something, he boxes is up and he delivers it right away. He immediately boxes up your prayer and ships it to you. The deal with God is he never shares with you the date that the package will arrive. It would destroy your faith. You have to have that. We'll finish this up next time. I got more for this, We'll be back. Thank you all very much, health brave. For all Steve Harvey contests, No purchase necessary, void where prohibited.
