Y'all know what time to y'all don't know, y'all a so long looking back to back down, giving them just like the milking buck bus things and it's cub y'all. Do me true good to the hearty guy listening to move to other stood clean hobby. Don't you join yeah by joint be you go with me? Honey, do turn yeah, don't go to you. You gotta turn to turn out, turn to you love. You got to turn out to turn water water go. Come come on your back, uh, I sure will. Good morning everybody you're listening to the voice, come on dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show. Man, oh man, oh man. You know what y'all? I mean, Really, the goodness of God is overwhelming if you think about it, I mean, really really think about it, even even when your circumstance doesn't look so bright, even when you're going through something that's causing you discomfort, pain, even even in that, God's goodness is actually overwhelming, because don't forget why you're going through this moment this first of all, this too shall pass. But also secondly, remember man, ain't everything else that you've gone through that seems so insurmountable at the time. Didn't you get past that too? I mean, it's amazing if you really think about it, if you really be you don't. You don't get stuck on any one issue your whole life. The only people that get stuck on an issue they whole life is people who won't let it go. That's really all it is. There are people who exist, and you may be one of them. Oh please, No, I've been guilty of it myself before. But I learned something. There are things in my past that I just would not let go of. It was done, it was over with, I was past it, but I I would not let go of it. It was over. The dude that did it to me didn't exist no more. The problem that it created didn't exist no more. The only problem that kept hanging on was I would not let it go. And man, you can't go forward if you're gonna keep looking in the past. It's an impossible thing. It's like driving a car. If you keep looking only in the rear view mirror while you're driving, you're going to crash pretty soon. And a lot of people just keep crashing over and over and over and over because you won't drive your car. You keep looking in the rear view mirror at the pass. Oh woe is me? Oh? You know they did me like that? You know, I ain't been the same since he cheated on me. Oh man, ever since she stole my money, I ain't been the same man. She played me and ever since that out and treated women differently. My father used to beat me. Okay, you know now, Look, you may have some deeper stuff going on, like you're abused or molested as a child, but eventually, guess what, do you understand that when you have relationship God with God, you can take that to him too and drop it off and leave it there. Do you know that he can fix and heal that. Maybe it's something serious like that that you need fixing on healing from a relationship with God can fix and heal that. But man, come on, y'all, whatever it is, and I'm not trying to downplay it or make it act like it wasn't traumatic in your life, because oh God, you don't want to you know, you don't want nobody do that to you because you want to be the you know, the post to child for misery. So please don't let me take that from you. You know, if if that's your position, that's your that's your you know, hall of Fame card. You're hanging on too. I'm the post to child for misery. Oh, no, one is more woe than me. Then please don't let Steve try to take that from you. Go ahead and hang on to that. But let me tell you something though. If that's what you're gonna hang on to, that's what you're gonna always be the post to child mystery. At one point time, you're gonna have to get on the move past it. And you can. Sometimes, Man, it's merely a simple thing of taking it to God and leaving it there. You know, some people don't have money for therapy. Some people don't even know who to call for therapy. God is the best psychologist in the world. He he can fix it for you. There is nothing too hard for God. You know, when something seems impossible, y'all, God does the impossible all the time every day. You don't know how I know. I just look at a couple of basic things. Do you know that that sun comes up every day in the morning, It comes up in the east and it sets in the west. You can't do nothing about that. All you can you can wish because you plant your flowers on a certain side of your house, you can wish you all you want that maybe one day he would bring it up out the northwest. So those flowers were. Now now it's gonna come up about these. It's gonna come about these, and it's gonna set in the west. And once the sun hits the horizon when you look in the water, like if you are out in l a and you see the sun going down. Once the sun, once you can visually see the sun touching the horizon, you have three minutes. You have exactly three minutes. You can sit there with you watch. You can time you're three minutes and it's gone. Three minutes, it's gone. It's man. I read that somewhere and then I went and tried it. It's gone every day if if it's clear enough, not cloudy, once the sun touches the horizon on water, you've got three minutes. I don't care who you are, you can want it to be different. That's what he does. When the wind blows, you can't do nothing about it. He can bring it from the northeast, he can bring it from the west, he can bring from the south He can bring it hard, he can bring it cool, he can bring it high. It's certain things that God, God does the impossible all the hi. You can't explain him. You know how those stars sitting up there? How how can you find these constellations the big dip of a little dipper? Ryan the Hunter, Oh that's God. That's got nothing you can do by it. You can't reach them stars, you can't shoot at them, you can't move them out the way you know, or Ryan the Hunter's belt is gonna beat them three stars out of angle. You can, you can, you can call it what you wanna call. It's still that's what it is. See, He does the impossible all the time. He created heaven and Earth. You're saying that God can't get you through your past. Somebody did this to me. It's the worst thing I had, the worst childhood of anybody. God can't get you past that. He can move Heaven mountains Earth, he can form the Grand Canyon, he can make the water come over Niagara Falls twenty four seven. He can't fix your little bit of past yours you you instant, nificant being as we are. It's amazing how people make their problems bigger than God. Somebody told me one time, stop telling God how big your problems are, and start telling your problems how big God is, and go on with your life. Quit driving your car looking in the rear view mirror. Ain't nothing back there but your past. And if it was hurtful or painful, or something you just felt like you can't get over, take your problems to God and leave them there. You hear the old spiritual all you've heard it. Take your problems to the Lord, Take your burdens to the Lord, leave them ye at all time. But you think that applies to everyone. But you come on, man, and a lot of people out there going through much worse than you have and have overcome it all. Why won't you take the step to overcome your past so you can get on with driving your con see a God trying to take you, But it's the trick of the enemy. The enemy tricks you from seeing your future by having you constantly looking in your past. Man, it's a trick of the devil. If the man, If the devil just lets you quit, if he would just let you get to drive in your car and look out into your future, your future shows hopefulness. You have hope when you see the future. But he can keep you in misery if he keep you looking at your miserable pass He created you, He got a plan for you. God looking for you. Man. God would love to hear from you. Let's spend some time talking to God today. Hey, God, what's happening. It's me. I know I ain't talked to you in a while, but feel bad about that. But I need you. He know that. Everybody should say that prayer all the time. It's cool, all right, well, all right, you're listening to show, ladies, gentlemen, people, animals. Steve Harvey Morning Show full effect.

Okay, confirmation hearings on President Trump's nomen need to have the massive Department of Veterans Affairs. You're Admiral Ronnie Jackson. Those hearings have been postponed and indefinitely after the nominations run to some very strong and bipartisan by the way, resistance in the U. S. Senate. Now, there are allegations, unsubstantiated, but allegations that Dr Jackson, for instance, may have overprescribed prescription drugs, that he used to be called a candy man, or that he might have been drinking excessively while performing his duties as White House position to ex Presidents Obama and Bush and now Donald Trump, legislatives say they want to investigate more. Now looks like gop Leady Mitch McConnell is passing the ball to the President, who in turn is passing it to Dr Jackson. It's up to the administration to do the vetting. And um, I'm assuming at some point here it'll be cleared up as to the way forward with regard to the new v A Secretary Admiral Jackson, I said, what do you need this for? President Trump calls the confirmation process ugly and disgusting. Senators already doubted that Dr Jackson would be able to run the human his VA anyway because they're not sure that they say that he has the administrative skills and the way of the murders of four innocent people at a waffle House restaurant in Nashville over the weekend, focus is now on also on the fact that the suspected gunman, Travis Ranking, was not allowed to own a gun in Illinois because the Secret Service canceled his permit, but was possibly within his rights to own one in Tennessee, where he allegedly committed the mass murder. Also, there's a question of whether Ryan King's father could face charges for giving his son back the guns that the Secret Service took from him last month. Travis Ranking currently being held on two million dollars bail and facing four murder chargers. The jury and the retrial of Bill Cosby on sexual assault charges now deliberating that case. Last year, a different jury deadlock causing this mistrial, and that's why we have a retrial now. President Trump is reportedly considering giving a posthumous pardon to heavyweight boxing champ Jack Johnson. Jack Johnson came the first black heavyweight champ in nineteen o eight because he had a white girlfriend who traveled with him. Racist charging with transporting a white woman across state lines for immortal purposes he could was convicted by an old, white, old male jury and sent to prison for a year. Trump has been says he's been thinking about partnering Johnson. Everson Sylvester Saloon called him about the case and asked him to think about please giving him a partner. A rapper, Meek Mill, finally, a freeman. That's right, Meek Mill. In fact, rang the bell before last night seventy in Miami head Game, and finally Today's National Telephone Day, Ring that telephone. Now, we'll be back with more entertainment and today's training topics. Twenty minutes after the hour on the Steve Harvey Morning Show. You're listening to the Steven Show. Billy stand up Meek mil is a freeman. First of all, what to violate his probation because he popped up wheelie and he broke up a fight. Yeah, yeah, that's the violation. So if you're on probation, you you can't be any kind of citizen, not even a good one. So you have to be oatmeal. If you see a fight, you don't go nowhere near as you on probation. If you you see some kids, you can't entertain them with a wheel stands. You have to be a non existent human being on probation. But since you didn't give me a shout out on this song that I asked you too, are you serious? Yes? Yes, I mean it's so serious, horrible injustice, it really is. Jay Z, dr J, Kevin Hart, Rick Ross, Philadelphia seventies Sixers co owner Michael Rubin, and many players from the seventies Sixers and the Eagles Colin Kaepernick. They all, um, you know, have been in support of Meek Mill. When they tell you this is wrong, the the fist tells you this is wrong, the police come out and say he did the right thing. Are you kidding me? And for her to have any insinuated ties, well, I mean, you know, Steve, the last five months have been a just a nightmare for Meek Mill. After that contra visual ruling back in November, you know, Meek received the sentence of two to four years in prison for probation violation. Just like you just said, Steve Shirley. Well, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered bail for Meek so he can go free. Over ruling that judge c that you just mentioned, Judge Genice Brinkley, who wanted to keep him there in prison at for at least another sixty days. Meek was ordered to be released yesterday. He issued a statement thanking the District Attorney's office, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, his legal team, Brock Nation, jay Z, seventies Sixers owner Michael Rubin, all of his family, his friends, and his fans who showed support while he was locked up, Meek says he also plans to shauna light on other cases where people of color are improperly jailed and promised to keep fighting. He's gonna resume his rap career, get back to making music. And it was really good to see Meek at the seventies six is Miami Heat game. It was game five last night of the playoffs. If you were there Philly, you were there at Wells Fargo Arena, or you know you were like us, you just watched the game on TV. You know, Meek Mill was the seventies Sixers v I P guest last night at the game. That is just fantastic news. Okay, Shirley, what you got? What we got coming up? Coming up in about ten minutes at thirty four after the hour, Sarah Land, Alabama. We're gonna talk about that little suburb of Mobile. I believe it is well anyway, police are standing by the controversial arrest of a black woman at a waffle house. Yeah wait till you hear this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. According to CBS News Now, guys, police and waffle House corporate executives are defending police intervention at the Sarah Land, Alabama, rest staurant where a black woman's arrest captured on video raised questions about mistreatment. In a news conference, police and Sarah Lend, a suburb of Mobile, said that they responded when employees call them reporting trouble with a woman who appeared drunk and had been asked to leave for bringing in what employees believed to be alcohol. When they arrived, witnesses told them that Shakisa Clemens had indicated she might have a gun and might shoot people. A video shows three police officers wrestling her to the ground. Three police officers wrestling one woman to the ground, uh, to the floor and arresting her while she and a friend complained loudly. The video shows two officers throwing Clements to the floor, her top somehow gets pulled down it exposures her breasts, yeah, and them asking what are you doing? What you know? Clemens was asking this what are you doing? What are you doing? And and the cops says, I'm about to break your arm is what I'm about to do. Uh. Take a listen to the Saralyne police press conference. All witness accounts were in concert and reported the individuals smelled of alcohol and appeared intoxicated. One person did bring a drink into the establishment and they were told that they could not have outside food or beverages in the restaurant. They were asked to lead because of bringing in this beverage, which they also believed could be alcohol. After that encounter, all of the situation escalated, with both Ms. Clemens and Miss Adams being allowed and using profanity towards the employees of waffle House. Words were used towards the employees, such as calling women horns. They were told, you need to cool down and please stop using the profanity. We have other patrons in the restaurant. They told the waffle House employees that I'll come over this counter and beat your I'm gonna have your job. You ain't gonna be here tomorrow. According to one of the witnesses, waffle House personnel are also told I may have a gun, I may have anything. I can come back here and shot, just play something if I need to. Witnesses also record that the officer asked Ms. Clemens to comply with his instructions on multiple occasions to stop resisting arrest, and she refused to comply. Wow, I've done well. You know what's gonna happen man, sadly is when they showed his video, it's gonna make a lot of people say they were justified because of the the pointing back and forth between her and the employee. That's what people are going to do. See. Let me tell you something. These same people, I want you to understand this, looked at the Rodney King video and saw the police protecting himself, saw a man resisting arrest. If they can look at that video and come to that conclusion, please understand that they're gonna look at this video in the same way. Now. Was it are necessary to treat this woman this way? Absolutely? What. You can't tell me that there's not another way to treat a woman. You can't tell me that. And you can't tell me had this woman not been of color, that she'd even be on the ground. I don't imagine, because you have no proof of it happening in the past, and so I don't. I just it's it's a horrible thing that's happened. Um. Look, the witnesses are there saying what she said that could be legit was she resisting arrest? I don't know, But once they claim, once they show you struggling. All they're gonna say is that's resisting that once they see you struck, any type of pulling away anything, don't man, John, I don't know how to get away. You posted just fall out, gold limp, dish rag and then let him jerk you around how they want to wow. Well, Stevie n double a CP has called the arrests troubling and they're investigating to get a firsthand account of what really hasn't Yes, it is. Investigation is needed because this is a woman we're talking about, was talking. We're talking about a woman and they handled the way they handled her.

For the Strawberry Letter Live after show on Facebook. Okay, coming up, Steve, it is your turn to ask us the parenting question. When we come back, it'll be right after this. You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. Billy Stand Up. Meek Milm is a freeman. First of all, what to violate his probation because he popped a whilie and he broke up a fight. Yeah, that's violation. So if you're on probation, you you can't be any kind of citizen, not even a good one. So you have to be oatmeal. If you see a fight, you don't go nowhere near because you want robation. If you you see some kids, you can't entertain them with a wheel stand. You have to be a non existent human being on probation. But since you didn't give me a shout out on this song that I asked you too, are you serious? Yeah? I mean it's so serious, horrible injustice, it really is. Jay Z, dr J, Kevin Hart, Rick Ross, Philadelphia seventies Sixers co owner Michael Rubin, and many players from the seventies Sixers and the Eagles Colin Kaepernick. They all, um, you know, have been in support of Meek Mill. When they tell you this is wrong, the de fist tells you this is wrong, the police come out and say he did the right thing. Are you kidding me? And for her to have any insinuated ties, well, I mean, you know, Steve, the last five months have been a just a nightmare for Meek Mill. After that controversial ruling back in November, you know, Meek received the sentence of two to four years in prison for probation violation. Just like you just said, Steve Shirley. Well, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ordered bail for Meek so he could go free, over ruling that judge st that you just mentioned, Judge Genie Brinkley, who wanted to keep him there in prison and for at least another sixty days. Meek was ordered to be released yesterday. He issued a statement thanking the District Attorney's office, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, his legal team, Rock Nation, jay Z, seventies Sixers owner Michael Rubin, all of his family, his friends, and his fans who showed support while he was locked up. Meek says he also plans to Shauna light on other cases where people of color are improperly jailed and promised to keep fighting. He's gonna resume his rap career, get back to making music. And it was really good to see Meek at the seventy sixers Miami Heat game. It was game five last night of the playoffs. If you were there, Philly, Meek Mill was the seventy Sixers v I P guest last night at the game. Yea one on five point three D in Philly. We feel like Philly to me. Now, that is just fantastic news. All right, Steve, You've been wanting to ask us this all morning, the parenting question for Carla, Tommy and I. What do you have for it? I wanted to notice, surely you have a daughter of this age. Tasha is yeah, she's not there yet. Tommy, you have boys the son of this age, and your daughters are not there? All right? How do you feel about any of your children being not married to their boyfriend or girlfriend wanting to spend time with y'all on vacation? How do you all feel about so like if my daughter wanted to bring her boyfriendcation on vacation with us and they're not married. Where where where are they sleeping in? Yeah, that's the thing. Yeah, which y'all also separate rooms. See, I feel the same way my mom felt if I wanted to do that growing up. I mean, you know, I'm old school in that regard. Just, um, don't. I don't want that to happen. See, that's one thing. But then maybe he's talking about because the first thing hit in my mind. I got to foot the bill, I got to pay for another person if it's my and I think he needs to be getting that. Just answer that question. Yeah, don't get a problem with that. Understand what you're saying. I feel like, yeah, like my mom felt, if they were me, I wouldn't want them to do it if they're not married, right, But you're not talking about financially, you're just talking about yeah, yeah, yeah, you're just talking about the couple when you were talking about going on the trip, but going on the trip with the parents, that's what you're saying. Yeah, I think it's a problem, but you're gonna sleep over here right as long as this you're yeah, they can't sleep together? Is that what you're asking the others? How y'all felt about It's awkward? Understand how you feel. See, even if they have separate rooms, you don't think they're gonna they ain't gonna stay right, I better not catch you creep and cross you didn't they cannot go. Yeah, I feel the same way. Yeah, my mom didn't want me to do it. I don't want my kids to do it. That's it. It's just the way. It's a different time now, and you know, I'm trying to understand it and get it. But I mean, you know, at the end of the day, you know they millennials. We ain't. We got to be millennius. Know what, I'm gonna stay old. We were raised. I don't have it where you're in my This is the rule that I had to come up with. You can't be in our personal space with it. We could be in the same hotel with it. You can't be in our personal space. Let me ask you this, Steve. Are they grown technically? Oh yeah, there are? Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, like our same age as are Yeah you at You ain't coming now, I bet not. Thank Yeah. You you opened that doing something. We gotta go and we'll come back and and and pick this back up. All right, We'll be back with more of the Steve Harvy Morning Show. Right after this, you're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show. All right, we're still in the middle of this conversation. Steve, you asked us this question, how do we feel about um, your our kids. I'm not no, I'm just want your honest opinion. You can't say. I was just wondering. I said, how do you feel about your children who are of age dating, being involved with their significant others, wanting to come on vacation with you? I don't have a problem with that. It's not a yeah, it's cool. It's it might be fun m a whole lot of funny, you know what? Because I was thinking, there's still my baby is still a baby to me, you know what I mean? She yeah, she is. I still he's still my baby. She's still my baby. To be cool with it, because I would be uncomfortable with him. I only have a ten year old daughter, but she can't bring her boyfriend on trips with us. I guess it's just not Well, you're not and Tash Tash will papa gasket? Yeah, having this discussion because you know, because of what we talked about, You're absolutely right, We're not. They're going to have sex. If they're having sex already, they're going to have it. That's not even the questions. Let's let's take that off the table, because let's let's let none of us are naive about that. My daughters one, she has a fiance. I'm pretty sure he asked her to marry her for a reason. You're not being naive about that. He don't know. Okay, they've actually met us places, but they're engaged. That's and this young man has means you ain't know, Daddy, can you fly us over here? I'm not being to fly no boy nowhere. I just want you to understand that I'm not going to give a man a quarter to impress you. M As long as you ain't interrupting my sex while were on vacation, I'm pretty much fine with it. So you're cool with that. I mean, what is the problem, though, Seriously, I don't think. I don't if they're grown, they're twenty one, they're of age, they're legally grown. You're asking this because you must don't want them now, No, no, no, no, no, I really I really enjoyed, Lord. I mean, they're legally grown, So I actually like this young man as long as you like them and they're cool and you get along. I look at it like family time. He took sex off of it. I was just asking y'all how you felt about it. I'm okay because I've done it before. It wasn't awkward for me because it's just a fiance. If you're not engaged and you're my daughter, No, he can't come. No. No, he has to provide you the lifestyle that he can promise you. But if he can do that and they're not engaged, he still can't come. He can't. She could, but he can't. If my son's is dating a significant other and I pay for my son to come, which I don't have to because they all worked, except if he was winking because he's in college. If I pay for my sons had their own money and they bring the significant other, I'm okay with that. I'm not okay if it's different with the You're yeah, you're just it's just a double standard because it's boys, you're not. I don't I don't know what you want to call it double standards it I ain't doing that, but that is a double standard. Well, I'm just calling it what it is. Well, the boys have to pay, though, they have to pay for their old girl to call. Yeah, so if they can pay, they can come. I know you asked the question. Yeah, because now we're getting deeper into it. See you're saying I have a double standard, don't. I don't know what you're calling it dead phone. I'm just telling you I'm not my daughter, ain't bringing no boy on no damn trip. See Okay, I'm calling it that because that's what it is, said the sun the son vacation and you had a significant other. I'll allow that, but you're double yeah my daughter because ain't no boy.

Alright, get ready when we come back the last break of the day and time for Steve's closing remarks. You're listening show all right, here we are, last break of the day with just one more thing, and get ready of course for Steve's closing remarks. He has brought those back for the new year two thousand eighteen. Okay, to date, I thought a good subject to talk about was about I think mentors being mentored, how to attract the right mentor. Um. I don't care what you're thinking of doing in your life. I don't care what decisions you make. Somebody's already done it, attempted, it gone down that role made the attempt. Maybe not your ideas specifically, but the route to get there has already been traveled for the most part. Uh, if you want to be successful, there are successful people. If you want to be a star athlete, there's a star you know what I'm saying. I'm saying to you that whatever it is you're trying to accomplish, somebody has already taken the path. Now, finding these people is really really not that difficult. Now, getting in front of them is where you're gonna find the difficulty. So let me give you a couple of suggestions. What is the best way to approach a mentor. What is the best way to approach a mentor of means and a mentor with means, Because that's that's two different people. You know, Martin Luther King was a mentor of means. He wasn't a wealthy man, but Lord have mercy man, the knowledge that he could have given you about struggling and overcoming and and and sticktuitiveness, those those lessons he could have taught you would have been invaluable. So you have two different types of mentors. You have mentors of means and mentors with means. Now, if you can find the two combined, that's even more special. But you're getting into more of a rare territory. Now, it's harder to find mentors of means and with means combined, because how do you get to that person? How do you get to the oprah Winfreys. When you find someone in your life, or you meet someone that you hear someone, you put them on your vision board. I want to meet this person one day. I would love to have a conversation with this person. You have to understand something. Most people with means of any kind, like Bishop Jake's, he has a lot of means. Man he tells well financially too, but he is also just a man of wealth of knowledge. How do you get to these people? Well, it's several ways to do it, but if you can somehow find that way, because there's no specific way. Right when you get in front of this person, I want you to understand something when you're facing them. They don't mind teaching and sharing because most people of means are great sharers and great teachers a Bishop Jake's, Joe Oldstein, that brother that has the app out, the hip hop uh preacher Eric Eric Thomas brothers like that too, and I listened to him man a lot of times. But getting in front of them, taking their course or whatever you might do. When you get in front of them, they don't mind teaching and sharing. They will mind giving you money. See, most people want to meet them mentor so they can present an idea to him and get some financial help. That's the quickest way to run them off out of it because everybody is used to that. Do you have any idea how many times in a week I'm asked for money? It's sickening. But if you come to me and say, man, could you just give me a piece of advice? I usually don't have no problem with that. I got time for most anybody that wants some advice wants me to share a wealth a piece of knowledge. That's okay. So when you get to these people, have a plan to be taught something. Ask him to teach you to fish, not to give you a fish sandwich. Ask him to teach you to fish. They don't have a problem with that. Now in several ways to get in front of them. But when you do get that, when you finally do meet and meet the main as difficult as you think. Now, if you live in you know, New York, and your mental lives in the l A, You're gonna to find a way to get to l A. Oh, you gotta find out when you come to New York. You gotta do some research, but you have mentors closer than that. You have somebody who's a really well mentally balanced person that you need information from. You have a person who seems to be doing really well with a wife and their children you need information from. Because it's all a balancing act. You can't be successful in your business and while your family sitting over there struggling and in ruins is not going to work. Once you learn the traits of success, it it filters over into every other aspect of life. So you gotta have a balance. You can find these people right here. Don't ask them for money. People want to share and teach and give you information. Everybody needs a mentor. You cannot make it without mentorship. You know, there's an incredible saying, and we ain't got to get into why so incredible. But friendship is essential to the soul. You know why friendship is so essential to the soul. I've lost my mother, my father, I've lost my brother, I've lost my best friend. Before you can live your life without your mother, you may have to eventually one day, you can live your life without your father. You may eventually have to do that one day You can live your life without your uncles and your relatives. But you know what, is very very difficult to live your life without a friend. It is very very difficult to live in this world with no friendship. Nowhere. It's man, you got. Friendship is essential to the soul. Do not avoid mentoring. Don't try to do it all by yourself, because nobody gets to the top by yourself. There's no such thing as a self made You've got to have amenity For all Steve Harvey contests, no purchase necessary, avoid where prohibited.
