Speaker 1: caler I see your hand.

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I got a question. It's the first day of

17
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: school for a lot of kids, n secondary, school, elementary,

18
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: any kind play the TV or you play the teacher

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 2: on TV, any kind of what's the message for the

20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 2: kids this school year? What you got give them some advice?

21
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: School Yeah, school ain't for everybody. You can't say, well,

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: we're in. My line to that question is no.

23
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 2: That's not the message, Steve.

24
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: Now listen to me on the show, and you know

25
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: that the basics of education are critical to forming the

26
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: foundation of your life. Come on, you have got to

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: master reading, writing, comprehension, You've got to understand math, You've

28
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: got to get some understanding of science. You should know

29
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: your history. That's it. Now, after you get out of

30
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: high school, that high school diploma is critical because with

31
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: it you cripple your life. It's hard to get hired

32
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: without a high school diploma, So do not cripple yourself

33
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: that way. But after that, I would focus on two

34
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 1: things if I were you, your gifts and your dreams.

35
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: I would focus on those two things. The Bible says

36
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: a man without a dream or vision shall perish. The

37
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: Bible says, your gift will make room for you and

38
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: put you in the presence of great men. If you

39
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: were to focus on those two things, your gift and

40
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: your dreams, their lies your road to happiness. Now, parents,

41
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: if you would sit your children down and ask them

42
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: what are their dreams, and then help them talk about

43
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: their gifts, you would save yourself a lot of parenting

44
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: woes because it's hard when you're telling the little boy,

45
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: stay in school, do your work, do your work okay?

46
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: Why well, if you've got the proper dream in front

47
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: of him, the dream will spur him to get the education.

48
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: This young boy told me he wanted the fly airplanes.

49
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: He was not doing well in school. I introduced him

50
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: to a pilot. Pilot said, if you want a fly airplane,

51
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: you gotta be good at science and math. The boy

52
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: straightened his grades out because he wanted to fly more

53
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: than anything. That caused him to go back to school

54
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: get his grades together. The young man is a pilot today,

55
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: fresh from the Steve Harvey miner in camp, paid for

56
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: pilot school and everything. The dream and the vision is important. Parents,

57
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: talk to your children about it. That's the best way

58
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: to help him stop beating them over the head with education.

59
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: If you ain't gonna beat him over the head with

60
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: their dream. All you're listening Harvey Morning Show
