There’s an old saying that I heard that there’s two kinds of people born in the hospital every day. There’s a person born in the hospital that’s going to get a job, and there’s a person born in the hospital that’s going to give that person the job. You have to decide along the way, which one you’re going to be.
You can be a leader, but a leader is a developed set of skills. It’s a developed set.
And the more but see here’s what stops the average person from being a leader is the fear of the consequences of leading. Most people don’t want the responsibility of being a leader, but let me tell you the trick though, the responsibility and ramifications and consequences of being a follower is dire, more dire and more severe. Because now as a follower you just got to go along with whatever, you know how many adjustments you got to make when you’re a follower. The man come in and decide I’m having layoffs. And he hands you a slip and it’s Christmas.
What, that wasn’t in your plans but whoa, you decided you didn’t want to be a leader, you want to be a follower now, guess what? You got to deal with that. If I’m a leader and I own a company and the company started losing money you think I’m Fidan to not have my life?
No, cutbacks start on the follower.
The leaders don’t go, well, let me quit.’Cause if I quit isn’t nobody eating. The cutbacks start at the bottom. So, you have to make a decision if you’re going to be a leader or not but understand what a leader is though. Sometimes you just really want to be the leader of your own life. You don’t have to lead a world leader; I have no aspirations of being Martin Luther King.
I have no aspirations of being Gandhi, none whatsoever. I had really no aspirations of being the leader that I become today. That I got young men listening to me that I wasn’t even really counting on. I got dudes emailing me, man, running up to me, man, in essence, this brother ran up to me, and Terrence was stopping him from talking to me and the big brother, about 300 some pounds, sweating had a chef coat on. Had a thermometer pen, sweating all over the place.
He had seen me come off stage, saw me go through the back. He ran all the way round to meet me, and Terrence stand down soldier. Well, this big dude right here isn’t with that. He said, hey little man, little man, come on now. Isn’t nobody got time for all of this here.
I’m trying to holler at this man right here, ’cause you don’t know what I been through.
Stand down soldier. Little man, before this turn into something else, I got to see him today. His whole thing was, he was a prison inmate down in New Orleans had been listening to me on the radio since 2005. Did his five years, got out the joint, started studying in prison, food prep because he said, man, you aren’t, you told me one morning you aren’t got to sit there and do nothing. You can better yourself from behind the wall and make one plan or not to come back. He said, you changed my whole life. He said, I come to tell you man, I’m the chef right now at the Hilton. But the big dude was just crying. You know, we ended up hugging, I cried with him.
Cause you know, I be feeling people like that. I have no idea, nor did I have an aspiration to be an inspirational person to them.
But I have always asked God in my own way to make me a relevant person. You know, I don’t want to be a cat that when I die isn’t nobody tripping. Church empty, isn’t nothing right here.
Cause you know there’s two things, you know, when a person dies on their tombstone, there’s a birthdate, there’s a dash, and then there’s a date of your demise. And let me tell you something, when you die, they’re not going to talk about your birthday. They’re not going to talk about the day you died. The biggest conversation will be about that dash, that little dash, that’s the life you lived in the middle of that date of birth and the date of demise. That dash will determine who you are.
