orijinale and put work towards it , stay on it. The key is dedication and progression an hard work along with having faith in your own abilities. You just telling your self that you can do this its all about putting in the work and staying on it and making sure this is some that you really want.

This clip really spoke to me. All my life I've wanted to sing but had people put their limitation on me. I've lived my life believing maybe I should find an easier dream career. After watching this video I am declaring I will become an international singer. Thanks Steve!

Okay Jasmine B thats a wonderful stage name too !

When I was in 6th grade, I had some free time in one of my classes so I was scribbling random things that didn't look good. My teacher saw it and commented "I hope you don't plan to be an artist" and scoffed at me. Little did she know I actually am very artistic. Im now 31 years old and sell my graphic art files every single day on etsy. People all over the country want my art for various projects they are doing... so, yeah. I wish I could find that teacher and tell her about it.

EXTREMELY GOOD ADVICE. TAKE NOTE!

Russell Nelson that just shows that anything is possible if you put you're mind to it and believing in ones self and staying dedicated.

This really brought tears to my eyes.. Some people have a way of stomping on other people's dreams just because it doesn't seem possible or realistic to them and truth be told, I cannot stand these kinds of people.. Turtles trying to comment on giraffes, when the giraffes worldview is at the tree top, and the turtle can't see more than the ground.. Don't ever underestimate anyone's ability to do or be something great.. And if you do not agree with them, at the least keep your discouraging comments to yourself and simply wish them the best.. God has a way of using the ones that society has ruled out, and using them beyond anything your hater's would have ever imagined.. We live in a world of followers, everyone wanting to be like what they have already seen. What they think is possible based on what they have been exposed to. But God gives you those impossible dreams and desires for a reason. Don't let the haters or crab's in the bucket pull you down, or force you to forfeit your true potential. You too were created for greatness, don't be a follower. I once heard a saying that small minded people are the ones that tell you that you cannot do something, but the greats are the ones that encourage you and tell you that you can also be great.. Isn't that the truth.. (Glad you made it Mr. Harvey :)

Great father for saying what he did & your mom for supporting. When you got on TV that teacher probably put her head in her hands and knew the words she told you were a big mistake. You are a wonderful person. I love listening to you. Full of food advice & very, very funny.

Oh my god, teachers have so much power over their students, either you build them or tear them down. So sad I encountered lots of teachers who did the latter as Steve experienced. And the same as Steve's dad, my dad took me out of that kind of school right away. He told me on the way to new school that no school should tear his kid's potential down. On that day, walking after my dad's footstep to the principal's room of new school I knew this man just believed in me and he would protect my dream no matter what.

I love that story! I felt So much emotion coming from Steve.

I've heard several people talk about being put down by their teachers. What a shame!!! Being a teacher is more than merely teaching a program, it's also encouraging and supporting students.

So motivational! Thanks Steve Harvey!

You have to BELIEVE you can open the jar, and not let anybody tell you that you can't :-P

I love watching Steve Harvey & listening to him for all of his REAL TALK and down to earth communication with wisdom that is so inspiring. Makes sense me too!! You go Boy!

A brilliant metaphor that we can all take something away from!

If you like motivational and self help "stuff", I highly recommend reading this book. It's a wonderful read and it's an easy read with of course Steve's humor thrown in. I have created a vision board for myself this year and am obsessed with everything Steve has to say. Hoping for great things in the new year.

Thank you Steve for the words of encouragement. When you hit rock bottom that’s when you know who your family and friends are. Since 2016 is been a struggle until to today. Family has turned their back on me. I was homeless for a couple years. My Dad didn’t have much education but he was a humble man and very encouraging at all times. It was important for him to keep the family together and always put in our mind that we could be anything we want to be but my dad passed. My family has separated. The word family don’t exist. January 6, on our way to church we was rear ended by a truck and the other driver fled the scene but thank God there is still good people in this world there was people they had videotaped the accident got his tag number I guess because he rear ended us his car stop. He tried to jump in other peoples car to get away but somebody notice that and call the cops so he’s arrested as a matter fact he sitting in jail he had trial yesterday I didn’t go but they should be contacting me to let me know what did they charge him with. My daughter was the driver my son was sitting in the front seat and I was sitting in the backseat with my grandbaby my grandson. My grandson lost a tooth his face was pretty messed up and We was pinned in back seat of the car. I always think God for being alive after the accident and more grateful for life. I stay praying but I know God has to have a better plan for us. We used to live in Georgia but I move down here (Miami) after my husband passed away. It’s really hard to find a job I’ve been been to so many interviews no one he’s willing to hire me they state that I am or over qualify but for the position that I’m applying for. I’m going to continue filling application there is aJob out there for me. Thanks again Steve. God bless you and your family. Your good peoples.

Have you ever shared your dreams with others, and immediately felt you wish you hadn't? You shined your brightest light, and those haters turned on the dimmer switch. That is so not cool! I've learned to laugh it off now, and I know I don't need others backing to make it! Especially those who want to steal your thunder. Keep on doing you!!! Thank you Steve! I love ALL your wisdom! 1💜

Best advice ever in the world!!!!!!!!

This Metaphor is simple but Profound!!! Love This example! Greatness just got released!!

This was an eye opening ahhhah moment for me. Going to put into action TODAY!!!!!!

Common sense always outweighed what is taught in school. Steve's father was on point.

That was actually really good. Makes me wanna read it and I never read these types of books.

I think taking off the lid of the Jar is surely the best description than any few man or authors had written in a book about success today & Yesterday. Lid off To You Steve!! You are a Man of Examples!! GOD BLESS YOU & WHAT A EDUCATION I GOT TODAY JUST FEW MOMENTS! MICHAEL HASSEN, FROM ADDIS ABABA ETHIOPIA

This is why I love Steve Harvey....just watched this video and realized not only is my lid still on my jar, but I actually think its glued on....im 51, severe depression, anxiety and now agoraphobic and haven't been out of my house in almost 5 months, I need help getting this dam lid off.....:(

Damn I really need that book! So inspiring!

Hi Steve, Thank you for this great segment. I have my dream and I am chasing and working to get it. I recently told my family about what my dream was and they did exactly what your teacher did to you in the sixth grade. I don't have my parents anymore to tell me what your father told you but my father would have done the same. You are a great man and I thank you that I found your show here on you-tube.

I remember hearing this on a different world when Dwayne was trying to mentor young gang members. Thought it was great advice.

Very true!!!! You go Steve

my dream is to become a fireman and nobody believe in me even my dad said i couldn't do it and i promised him in the first day in the academy he will be there with me AND i will!!! make my dream come true and nothing will stop me

Many people have broken me down over the years from an early age which changed my life direction. As soon as I had become conscious of this and sadly it has taken years I have been trying to change and reverse that damage.

The is the most powerful message a person whose able to understand it can learn. People with authority roles in a child's life, need to be responsible with their words. They need to know the power they have in a child's life. My dream was ripped to shreds when I was a teenager. Then I spent years wondering aimlessly. By Devine intervention I found my footing and embarked on a new path. Graduated in January. Starting a new career next week. And..... That's just the first step. I'm not done. I don't listen to people who don't help me be better. No matter who. My mother and a older brother ripped my dream to shreds. They have no idea what they did to this day. Brought it up to my mother the other day, she doesn't even remember. SMH

I am inspired by your sharing. Thank Steve Harvey 😊.

I am this person. Lol. Thank you for saying these words. Write it down and make it plain. Bless you.

Thank you for this story Steve. This inspires me very much. Hats of to you father. truly commendable. From India!

I wonder if he attributed the story to its originator, who is, I believe, Zig Ziglar. I first heard it at least 30 years ago.

"Outstanding Steve! ( Homeboy!)

Thanks Steve, what you just said is something I was waiting to hear .

Steve advice is phenomenal!

Love these stories soooo much!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Clever Steve Harvey...indirect advertising for your book! 😂 Great message though!

I felt that in my spirit!

Thank you so much Steve!!

Steve- you are such an inspiration!!!!!!

Your videos always make me happy Steve

great stuff thank you sir. Fathers inspire I miss my father

Thanks Pastor Steve

AMEN!! YES PREACHER STEVE!

A lot of people miss the fact that his dad told him to focus on the goal. People now would focus on getting justice to the teacher and lose sight of their goals.

Steve i stumbled across one of your videos about why you dont use mind altering substances....man, it ignited my interest in all your videos. I was shocked at how bold you were to speak the truth about it. I know they definitely destroyed about a third of my life...anyways ive been spending the last few years really trying to get my life back on track (you made a video about that too)..basically what im trying to say is i am floored with your videos and straight talk. Most of all i admire that you sincerely credit your success to God, He is the only reason im here today and has already gave me so much more than i deserve. Maybe He showed me these videos to lead me to higher things. You already know how He shows His love. Your really the best out there Steve. Ill never meet you in person but thanks to youtube i can get tons of great advice. Take it easy.

AWESOME. I love this.

This is why you are an inspiration to me Steve.

Thank you Steve!!!

You know what, I took this guy for just a funny person but as I watch his videos... He inspires me a lot..

Very good book.

Thank you, thank you, thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wise advice Steve. Will buy that book.

Gracias Steve Harveys Dios Te Guarde Siempre... Gracias Por Todo...

🙏 God bless you Steve.

love this , smart man n his shows

Funny thing is, I remember watching this a while ago and thinking... "what a cute lil speech there." Really didnt think anything of it. But fast forward, I'm glad YT put this in my recommendations again. Just what I needed to hear.

I definitely have the lid on. It needs to come off, I need help.

He started sending her a TV every Christmas until she died. He said "I didn't want her to miss one episode of me being on TV!"

I really needed to hear this. I'm always afraid to tell people what my dreams are because they make fun of me. I want to be a female rapper/songwriter. I want to have my own music videos. Put out music with meaning. Music that questions society and life in general. I want to travel the world. I want to leave the place I am currently in. I am 17 and have so many dreams I can't name everything. When I am asked what I want to do, I have to give a career that offers high levels of education.

So powerful x x

You are a wise man

Great... Great Great... Greatness right there... 💪

i can relate to this soo much!! in first grade i said i wanted to be a superstar and the teacher also questioned it...in 4th i said i wanted to be a comedian and the teacher said that was impossible...in 6th i said i wanted to be a songwriter &i was forced to erase it off my paper...all of my dreams as a child were crushed &once i became old enough to start college i had no idea wat i could be that would please everyone :(
