Motivational Story of Steve Harvey | Never Give Up
I was miserable in my life. I didn't like waking up, I have no purpose, I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing. On October 8th 1985 I walked in a comedy club for the first time signed up for the following week. The following week a girl took me down there she said you've got to go to comedy club you're the funniest person I've ever met. I’ve never even heard of comedy clubs at 27. I walked into comedy club I signed up for the following week I’m gonna sit here and learn. I knew I was funny I just didn’t know what to do with it. They had ten acts go up nine of them went up I didn't laugh at one joke I was just sitting there just man I wish that was me man they should have said this every joke they told I knew the punch line before they said it and I wrote a better punch line in my mind what they should have said it got to guy number 10 they called his name he wasn't there they said well he's not here we're going to go to next week's lists eve Harvey where are you.
Long story short I won amateur night that night I won 50 dollars. It was 45 minute drive to my house with this girl named Gladys I cried 45 minutes she said what you crying for it isn’t but fifty dollars I said no you don’t even understand I was born tonight I now know what I'm supposed to do. I went to work the next day October 9th and quit my job with fifty dollars. I had nothing just never gave up I’m gonna tell you something that decision cost me everything I had, I lost everything, I lost my family, lost friends, I lost everything, I became homeless. I lived in a car for three years but I just saw this vision I just pursued it I said wow that's it you have to take chances in life.
