Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are last break of the
day on this Friday. It's been a good day, it's
been a good week. Thank you guys. Yeah, everybody.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Hey, my closing remarks today, I want to kind of
expound on something that Junior had asked me earlier today.
The question Junior proposed to me earlier today was unk
in all of your lifetime, can you think of the
worst advice you've ever gotten? And without hesitation, two of

(00:32):
them came to mind right away, because I've gotten some
bad advice. And the thing you have to understand, you all,
is because I've read the Book of Proverbs repeatedly, and
because I've asked God for wisdom and understanding since I
was fifteen years old. Now, it doesn't mean I've always
applied that wisdom and understanding, trust me, I haven't. I've

(00:55):
done some foolish, simple, stupid things in my life, knowing
better and them anyway, and sometimes figuring that that didn't
apply to me then, but it always does. The two
worst piece of advice I got, and I probably have
had a lot more, but the two that comes to mind.
Number one, don't put all your eggs in one basket. Well,

(01:17):
that troubles me. You know, if we're talking about the
stock market, okay, but if you're talking about your effort
and your life's to accomplish your dreams and goals, I
don't understand how you could possibly attain them without putting
your total effort to this thing. You've got to put
a total effort into whatever it is you're trying to accomplish,

(01:40):
especially when it comes to accomplishing your dreams and aspirations
with your life. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
What to me, it matters, and it depends on what
that basket is made out of. If that basket is
made out of faith, if that basket is made out

(02:02):
of strength, if that basket is made out of hard work,
if that basket is woven together with discipline and prayer.
Why would you not put all your eggs in that basket?
And then I don't know how you're going to accomplish
your dreams without an all out effort. It requires everything

(02:25):
you have. You don't get a lot of days off
climbing that letter to the corporate letter, trying to be
successful in corporate America, trying to be successful as a business,
own an entrepreneur trying to be at the top of
your game. You gonna get to the top with days off.
I'm sorry. I got another piece of advice and I

(02:46):
told it to Junior this morning, was don't put all
your eggs in one basket. And the second one was
plan B. Always have a plan B. What you know something?
Everybody I know that had a Plan B had to
use it because in order to have a Plan B,

(03:08):
you must stop your Plan A to make preparations to
have a Plan B. So now again, all your effort
ain't going into Plan A, cause you back here building
a backup plan, which is a Plan B. I'll give
you another example of a plan B. If you have

(03:28):
a prenup in your marriage, that's a Plan B. And
I got something I'm going to tell you. I know
a lot of people with prenups. I don't know a
living soul that had a prenupt that didn't use it.
I don't. You may know some people that's got a
prenup who haven't used it yet, But hang on, everybody

(03:49):
I know that had a prenup used it. Now, I'm
not saying you shouldn't have a prenup. You could do
like you want to do. But everybody I know that
had one use it. Now, if you're an older guy
and you're dating a young girl and you want to
make sure that certain things go to certain people that
you've known all your life, understand that. Understand that. But

(04:13):
y'all start off equal and you have a pre nupe
or you start off with bruh, You're gonna use the
prenup because it's preparation for failure. So having a plan
B and not putting all your eggs in one basket
are the two worst pieces of advice I've ever gotten.

(04:33):
I'll tell your third thing. Whenever somebody's talking to me
and they say, statistics say, statistics say, I'm very conscious
of that. I'm very careful of that because I don't
care nothing about statistics. Statistics allow you an option to
look at, to take to fail your path. When I

(04:54):
first got into comedy, that was a saying that says,
one in every twenty thousand commit will ever make it
to the Tonight Show, and you can't make it without
the Tonight Show one in twenty thousand. So every night
when I was young, before I went on stage, I
would hum the theme song to Johnny Carson because that

(05:18):
was my dream, was to get on the Tonight Show.
I never made it to the Tonight Show. I never
got on there, but I learned something. You don't need
the Tonight Show. You need God. God can do exceedingly
and abundantly over all. You think I asked, you think
God can't out do the Tonight Show. I never got

(05:39):
on the Tonight Show, never met Johnny Carson, but somehow,
by the grace of God, I managed to make it anyway.
And that was one of the lessons I learned in life.
To stop depend depending and relying on people and put
your faith in God. God is an architect and author
of my life. Make sure that you hold on today people.

(06:01):
Stop worrying about what the haters say. The haters are
not decision make up powerbrokers or shakers, and move us.
Forget them. Don't even worry about them. Put your faith
in God. Stop worrying about statistics. Don't worry about that's saying.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket and make

(06:21):
a plan be put all your efforts into one thing.
Just make sure it includes God. God will take care
of you like he always has. Those are my closing
remarks today. Hope you got something from it. You know what,
Have a great day today, y'all.

Speaker 1 (06:37):
Talk to God.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
He'd absolutely love to hear from you, and I mean
that sincerely. Talk to him today.
