Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come for us to
Speaker 1: take just a moment a pause, and tell our heavenly
Speaker 1: father how much we appreciate this chance, this opportunity, to
Speaker 1: this gift that's called the present. Man oh man, oh man,
Speaker 1: what a great thing it is to be here. Everybody knows,
Speaker 1: somebody they care about this no longer here. It is
Speaker 1: a blessing to be here. Man, I give thanks and
Speaker 1: honor to the most high man. O man, o man.
Speaker 1: Look at here, the Steve Harvey Mornin Show, Sheldon Strawberry
Speaker 1: calling for real Mississippi Monica Junior, and the legend that
Speaker 1: is nephew Tommy Jr. Yes, Well, what's on your mind? Sir?
Speaker 1: Let me ask you a question. You good at this? Man?
Speaker 1: I just understand that you're good at discipline. You good
Speaker 1: at your discipline? How did you learn how to be disciplined?
Speaker 1: In chasing your dream? It waivers from time to time.
Speaker 1: Discipline is a learned behavior. You are not born discipline. Discipline,
Speaker 1: I believe, is my opinion, is a learned behavior. It's
Speaker 1: something that you have to practice and eventually you can
Speaker 1: get good at it. But the number one thing I
Speaker 1: didn't know it but my father introduced me to discipline,
Speaker 1: and I don't mean in terms of a spanking or
Speaker 1: nothing like that, but he always taught me that the
Speaker 1: number one thing a man has to remember the number
Speaker 1: one rule of manhood. He taught me, and I taught
Speaker 1: my son, do what you say you gonna do. If
Speaker 1: you say you're gonna be there, then be there. Excuses
Speaker 1: does not relieve you of responsibility. So do what you
Speaker 1: say you're gonna do. That was the first thing. And
Speaker 1: I had to learn that. Take this trash out every Wednesday.
Speaker 1: And I remember the couple of times that I didn't
Speaker 1: take the trash out on Wednesday because I laid in
Speaker 1: my bed. I was fifteen years old, and I heard
Speaker 1: my daddy dragging him grab trash cans down the thing
Speaker 1: and he got to go to work too. My father
Speaker 1: came up there in my room and sat on my bed,
Speaker 1: and my father never did that. He sat on my
Speaker 1: bed and he shook me real soft, and I woke up.
Speaker 1: I said, yes, sir. He said, you know something. You
Speaker 1: a sorry rascal, You just a sorry rascal. And I
Speaker 1: just didn't think. I raised none of them and got
Speaker 1: up and went to work. And brother that shattered me
Speaker 1: because for my father, the one man I wanted to
Speaker 1: be proud of me, told me I was a sorry
Speaker 1: rascal and got up and went to bed. So I'm
Speaker 1: going downstairs and I'm shook. And my Mama looked at
Speaker 1: me and said, you hurt your daddy, boy, because your
Speaker 1: daddy raised you better than that. And all you got
Speaker 1: to do is take them trash cans out on Wednesday. Brother,
Speaker 1: let me tell you something, man, that next Wednesday, I
Speaker 1: was sitting up so early because I have to get
Speaker 1: down here so I can redeem myself from this to
Speaker 1: this dude could be proud of me. And that's how
Speaker 1: I was first introduced to discipline. And I understood that
Speaker 1: discipline is just simply you doing what you say you're
Speaker 1: gonna do. And discipline is doing what you have to
Speaker 1: do even when you don't want to. That's the true
Speaker 1: definition of discipline. And you have to work on that
Speaker 1: and you can get good. And I'm a disciplined person now.
Speaker 1: I wave sometimes, but not all I'm here this morning,
Speaker 1: ain't all right? Good? Lesson Steve coming up at thirty
Speaker 1: two minutes after the hour. We will hear from the
Speaker 1: nephew as he runs that prank back right after this,
