am. Oh the late great Peter Tosh made a song about that you see who we could

17
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:56,000
become in our mind is who we become in our reality. You know I started my my

18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,840
journey on the assembly line way back sometime you know I recall you know

19
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:09,520
being so excited to to start to get employment or gain employment for an

20
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,800
assembly plant you know it was a great jumping pay you know it was about three

21
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:18,800
dollars and fifty cents you know I went from making I believe about five dollars

22
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:25,920
to about eight dollars and fifty-eight cents and yes family I was so happy about

23
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:34,760
that. Oh yeah you know the the pay for the in in the plant can be you know

24
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:40,080
exciting when you first get there but sometimes you know the the journey becomes

25
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:46,160
such a monotonous task or maybe or maybe you may end up like I was you know when

26
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:54,720
I first started my journey you know I was put on a task that it was just hard

27
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,400
yeah it was hard you know it was some backbreaking work you know I had to load

28
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:06,280
the the press operator and you know I had to dig down in this basket and boy by

29
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:12,240
time I would go home in the evening I would be dirty from head to toe my back

30
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,840
be hurting my knees be hurting my hands be hurting you know and I you know what

31
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,880
I would do I would say you know what I quit I quit I ain't going back to that

32
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:27,560
place I quit you know but I you know but I would show up the next day I would

33
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:33,280
show up the very next day and do the same thing all over again yeah family I

34
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:40,480
would even quit the next day as well and and that thing never stopped until I was

35
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:47,160
took off of stacking those parts you know I would quit and I would quit and I

36
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:53,080
would quit and finally you know I was moved to a place where I had my own

37
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:59,560
press I was able to become a press operator you know it's but but the

38
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,760
position I had I was the line leader I was you know I was thrown as the

39
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:09,120
operator and on this line that I was on you know I was the front of the line

40
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:15,520
but I had some individuals behind me that trained me you know they trained me

41
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,160
the way that they wanted me to be trained and family I want to tell you I

42
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:26,520
want to tell you I want to tell you watch who you let train you know see they

43
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:32,560
trained me for they or their advantage you know they would say you hey hey you

44
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,080
have to stop running the press or you have to stop feeding the line when we

45
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,840
go to the restroom or when we walk off the line or when we stop to take a pop

46
00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:47,720
a drink a pop drink or or a snack you have to stop because we don't want these

47
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:53,160
parts to fall off the floor you know yeah and that would go on but see it was

48
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,640
two of them down there and you know one would stop at one time and the other one

49
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,760
would stop later on and you know family you know and I would keep stopping

50
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:06,360
every time I see those individuals walk off the line and and before you know it

51
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:14,040
the foreman came and um yeah he removed me from that uh from that that position

52
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,160
you know he removed me removed me from that leadership position you know I

53
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:25,080
guess it was some thought of myself but you know partly it was some thought of

54
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:29,600
all involved you know I'm talking about the individuals who was on that line and

55
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:36,440
my foreman as well you see all of those line leaders out there in the plants

56
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,280
out there you you got to set your people up for success all of those foremen

57
00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:46,200
out there you have to set the individuals up for success you know

58
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:53,680
appeared them with someone who was gonna give them the right information I just

59
00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:00,080
wanted to get that off my chest no no no no so you know I went over to the well

60
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,080
let me just say this you know the foreman ejected me off that press because he

61
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,640
looked like it looked like I was a problem it looked like I didn't want to

62
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,680
work it looked like I didn't want to feed the line properly but you know I was

63
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:20,040
fed wrong information or I was set up really you know to for failure you know

64
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:26,200
sometimes we are set up for failure from our environments or from our upbringing

65
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:35,080
or from some individuals who we may be hanging around yeah yeah sometimes

66
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,240
sometimes I had to get some things off our chest you know I have to bring some

67
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:45,720
things in and just be truthful by some things so yeah so so so you know these

68
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:52,080
individuals got me ejected from my leadership role well on my next line I

69
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:57,840
went on the other side of the plant and I became a number two person and you know

70
00:06:57,840 --> 00:07:02,880
that went well you know we would all inspire each other you know we was all

71
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:10,000
wanting to get the job done wanting to do our best you know every day and you

72
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,800
know I was thriving in that in that environment because we was all inspiring

73
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:21,480
and motivating each other you know we're talking about your leaders out there we

74
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,080
talking about your line operators out there

75
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:30,240
form is we want you to set them up for success of course we are talking about

76
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:36,320
really sitting your mind up for success that's what the interground railroad is

77
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:44,360
all about again the interground railroad is is just dead set on taking you on a

78
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,800
journey from where you are to where you want to be family of course of course of

79
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,400
course I'm gonna be over the top sometimes but hey hey hey that's what we

80
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:01,880
do on the interground railroad so yeah family I'm right now I just want you to

81
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,040
I just want to take a pause break for your mind family you gotta be putting

82
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,240
some time in for your mind daily you should be studying and learning

83
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:17,840
something every single day of how you can use those things or that information

84
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:24,920
to better your situation yeah family so if you don't recall from earlier you

85
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,560
know you gotta watch your environment you gotta watch who you are on the line

86
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:33,360
with because they may retard you they may stop you from being your best or

87
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,360
being seen as talent family and we are talented in our own way we just have to

88
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:44,360
bring that talent out so I want to challenge you to learn something each

89
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,920
and every day spend an hour learning something every day yeah family we're

90
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:54,680
going back to our story yeah I was on the thriving on a line and guess what we

91
00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:59,640
would be breaking records every day or we would challenge ourselves to break our

92
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,160
previous record and a lot of times you know with that mindset we was

93
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:10,240
challenging ourselves we was going up against our previous selves of how we

94
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:14,720
were the day before yeah family we want to challenge you to be better than you

95
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:19,240
were yesterday and that's how we will operate our line each day but guess what

96
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:26,720
what what happened is our machines will break down you know the machines will

97
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,120
break down yeah family I want you to know that your mind is stronger than

98
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:35,440
machines your mind is stronger than what you think your mind is stronger than

99
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:40,240
the limitations that people have placed on you

100
00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:54,240
yeah okay okay okay so so yeah so later on the foreman you know after the foreman

101
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,560
saw that we was breaking records I was on a line that was breaking records and

102
00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:05,680
they would ask me you know oh oh you will work over there huh and then I was

103
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,120
like well no I didn't understand the question back then he said you will work

104
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,560
over there but because I wouldn't work where I was before but I wasn't set up

105
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:22,600
for success so again a foreman's out there set your people up for success so

106
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,520
going along with the line of course we're talking about your mind now we want

107
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:32,240
you to set your mind up for success set your mind up for success by you know

108
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:36,480
first off believing that you can and first off knowing that every situation

109
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,800
that you find yourself in you are not going to be comfortable right off the

110
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:47,440
back but so so so I want to challenge you to embrace the discomfort of the start

111
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:55,200
embrace the discomfort of the moment because if you can push past that

112
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:00,200
momentary discomfort guess what family we got growth standing right there in

113
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:08,200
front of you a family growth learn to grow each day so you know the thing I

114
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:13,440
want to the thing I want to challenge you to take from this is if you are in a

115
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:19,520
place on the line where you don't feel like you're comfortable you don't feel

116
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,880
like you're you're fit or you don't feel like it's just drawing the best out of

117
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:31,080
you a family you know look around hey it's a place that need a person just like

118
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:38,200
you you know start to grow start to advance yeah family I went from press

119
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:45,280
operator to high-low operator to shipping and receiving operator to shipping

120
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:51,160
and receiving leader you know and guess what family I said well let me stop right

121
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,840
here because I didn't want people to know that hey my I had some limits going

122
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:03,320
on in me I had some some some things where my communication skills had stopped

123
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:10,160
because I had had not had the schooling or I stopped learning how to communicate

124
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:16,000
myself better so family I want you to be on a perpetual learning journey yeah

125
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:21,040

126
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,280
effort to learn something so family we want to tell you hey we are practicing

127
