Saving a Stranger on the Subway: A 15-Minute Turnaround

WEBVTT
00:00:00.276 --> 00:00:04.206
What's going on, everybody? And what's going on, folks? My name is David,
00:00:04.798 --> 00:00:09.477
and I'm your legendary host of this legendary podcast, the Deconstructing Topic Podcast.
00:00:09.953 --> 00:00:15.567
Oh, let's go, let's make it happen. We got another good one once again in my
00:00:15.567 --> 00:00:19.917
podcast here because one of the things that I always have said about my podcast,
00:00:19.917 --> 00:00:22.787
one of my mottos is that, hey, listen, save it.
00:00:22.787 --> 00:00:27.977
Mine is saving a life, and it's a reason why I say that because the thing is
00:00:27.977 --> 00:00:33.637
this. Your boy, Deconstructing Topic Podcast, or your boy, David, you know, the host.
00:00:34.277 --> 00:00:36.117
Let's go. But not just the host.
00:00:37.380 --> 00:00:39.847
I just want to thank the people that are out there listening,
00:00:40.381 --> 00:00:44.578
because when you come into my podcast, you're going to learn a little bit of it all.
00:00:45.089 --> 00:00:51.971
But the fact that your boy has indeed saved many lives, and it's not just me saying it.
00:00:52.569 --> 00:00:57.589
There's been many people who have reached out to me, And even across my lifetime,
00:00:58.036 --> 00:01:03.457
For some reason This universe Has put people Who have Been on the brink.
00:01:04.527 --> 00:01:10.247
Of let's just say Giving up And even if Then they are not On the brink But at
00:01:10.247 --> 00:01:16.578
least They are on the edge Of saying I quit And for some reason Deconstructing Topics,
00:01:17.432 --> 00:01:20.758
For some reason He's out there He's there People be like Oh David You're,
00:01:21.637 --> 00:01:25.157
talking in your Third What is he You got an extra character Then I'm like,
00:01:25.157 --> 00:01:27.759
you know, absolutely. Why not? They say, why not?
00:01:28.652 --> 00:01:32.341
Because sometimes you want to bring some of these good stuff, these good stories.
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.531
And last, I'm not going to say last, but a couple of weeks ago,
00:01:36.531 --> 00:01:42.309
once again, I find myself in a situation where I'm saving another life.
00:01:42.646 --> 00:01:46.241
And I love it. And I'm here to tell you about it. Because it's not just saving
00:01:46.241 --> 00:01:48.085
a life, but just the whole process of it.
00:01:48.544 --> 00:01:51.376
You're going to relate to it. I've related to it, what was happening.
00:01:51.695 --> 00:01:57.811
It was one of the most beautiful, you could say 15 to 20 minutes kind of situation
00:01:57.811 --> 00:01:59.254
experience that I've dealt with.
00:01:59.655 --> 00:02:04.670
Now, I could make this podcast in regards to people out there that don't know I'm in New York City.
00:02:04.955 --> 00:02:11.294
I rely on my public transportation, the MTA, the Metropolitan Transit Authority,
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:12.861
whatever the case might be.
00:02:13.064 --> 00:02:18.823
I rely on taking on the subway, going to my destinations because I do not drive.
00:02:19.503 --> 00:02:22.471
I do not have a license either. Hey, listen, people are like,
00:02:22.471 --> 00:02:24.658
yo, wait a minute, you're talking a little bit too much about your life.
00:02:24.768 --> 00:02:28.045
No, I'm not, because my park is an extension of my life.
00:02:28.669 --> 00:02:32.501
But the fact is that for those people out there, commuters, people that are
00:02:32.501 --> 00:02:36.941
living in New York City, and even if you're living in Chicago or any city or
00:02:36.941 --> 00:02:40.751
metropolitan area or town that you depend on public transportation,
00:02:40.751 --> 00:02:43.653
you already know how that is in New York City.
00:02:43.852 --> 00:02:49.201
It seems that it is an adventure at times when you take these subways and these
00:02:49.201 --> 00:02:53.161
buses, Because there's always something going on It's always something.
00:02:54.095 --> 00:02:58.126
But a couple of weeks ago, it's one of my favorite and it tells a lot.
00:02:58.126 --> 00:03:01.866
And I always have said, for some reason, since I was a young kid,
00:03:01.866 --> 00:03:06.186
a young pup, I always have been an observant, observant things.
00:03:06.546 --> 00:03:09.623
And I always say, hey, listen, there's a reason why I'm here.
00:03:09.866 --> 00:03:11.985
There's a reason why I created this podcast.
00:03:12.241 --> 00:03:17.628
There's a reason why I am in the place that I am as a leader of helping people
00:03:17.877 --> 00:03:19.996
because I want to help people. That's my thing.
00:03:20.310 --> 00:03:28.210
I drive for it. Like I said, if you listen to my previous podcast in regards to the wolf, let's go.
00:03:28.431 --> 00:03:30.863
I'm a lone wolf or I was a lone wolf.
00:03:31.205 --> 00:03:34.656
Now I'm looking for my pack because together we can make it happen and together
00:03:34.656 --> 00:03:36.790
we can. Let's make it happen.
00:03:37.372 --> 00:03:41.436
If this is the first time, if not, hit the like button. You already know I appreciate
00:03:41.436 --> 00:03:42.700
when people hit the like button.
00:03:43.048 --> 00:03:46.356
Feel free to reach out. There's people that reach out to my email and all that
00:03:46.356 --> 00:03:50.809
good stuff. I really appreciate it. Gives me something to do outside of work.
00:03:51.551 --> 00:03:56.380
But let's get on with the story because the MTA situations are always a little bit crazy.
00:03:58.302 --> 00:04:01.136
And I want people to close their eyes. If you can't close your eyes,
00:04:01.136 --> 00:04:04.792
that's fine. If you're driving, that's fine. If you're doing whatever it is, that's fine.
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:10.316
See, I get up early in the morning, very early. I take this from my grandfather.
00:04:10.316 --> 00:04:14.167
When I say early, we're talking about 3.30, 4 o'clock in the morning, I'm up.
00:04:14.949 --> 00:04:20.796
I saw somebody, one of my sisters-in-arm tends to call me the Puerto Rican rooster.
00:04:22.856 --> 00:04:23.610
Let's go.
00:04:25.221 --> 00:04:29.918
And again, I start my day because I, you know, hit that gym. Then I go to work.
00:04:30.960 --> 00:04:35.534
Or sometimes in between, I do, you know, some of these content provided here
00:04:35.534 --> 00:04:38.643
that I have the energy. I have the foresight.
00:04:38.927 --> 00:04:44.894
I'm just feeling good because I just had a productive session in the gym a couple of weeks ago.
00:04:45.575 --> 00:04:52.647
As I'm in the subway waiting for my train, there was this black gentleman that,
00:04:52.932 --> 00:04:56.287
you know, there was this black gentleman. For some reason, I heard somebody fuzzing.
00:04:57.039 --> 00:05:00.364
There was this black gentleman that was kind of like fuzzing a little bit, you know.
00:05:01.004 --> 00:05:05.124
Oh, man. You know, and they looked a little bit off. And then he had a shout
00:05:05.124 --> 00:05:08.743
out. I'm a union guy. And he had a Carpenters Union t-shirt.
00:05:09.364 --> 00:05:12.204
You know, he was doing his construction. He was doing his thing.
00:05:12.204 --> 00:05:16.454
Now he's looking at the screen here in New York City. Some of these subways,
00:05:16.454 --> 00:05:19.914
they have a screen where it tells you, you know, the train time,
00:05:19.914 --> 00:05:21.496
when it's coming, whatever it is.
00:05:22.053 --> 00:05:25.385
If there's any delays, whatever happened. and I'm looking at the individual.
00:05:26.177 --> 00:05:31.321
And I said, where are you going? He said, well, I need to hit today's spot,
00:05:31.780 --> 00:05:33.621
but I want to hit that spot here.
00:05:34.253 --> 00:05:39.381
And the logic was, and keep in mind this, and this happens, because it's a beautiful story.
00:05:40.208 --> 00:05:44.704
This gentleman was in another train line where there was delays.
00:05:44.704 --> 00:05:48.864
And now I want to say is this, and people out there could relate to me,
00:05:48.864 --> 00:05:53.254
those in New York City, those who live in New York City and take this public
00:05:53.254 --> 00:05:55.564
transportation, the MTA is a little bit questionable.
00:05:55.919 --> 00:05:58.485
Our public transportation, especially the subway.
00:05:59.705 --> 00:06:05.423
You know, sometimes it's a hit, hit, hit, miss, miss, hit, miss, miss, miss, miss.
00:06:06.022 --> 00:06:10.492
And sometimes the time that we don't want it to miss is the day that we miss it.
00:06:10.706 --> 00:06:14.715
And when I say miss it, you're talking about delays. You're talking about all kinds of stuff.
00:06:15.354 --> 00:06:22.230
So this gentleman went from another train line across New York City, took a cab.
00:06:22.570 --> 00:06:25.809
I don't know how much the cab would be, but, you know, wait, listen.
00:06:26.059 --> 00:06:32.445
Because even if I say $20 still Just because there was delays in that line Comes,
00:06:32.904 --> 00:06:34.071
to the line that I'm taking,
00:06:34.957 --> 00:06:38.530
So then I, you know, was asking him So you want to get there But you want to
00:06:38.530 --> 00:06:41.952
wait for this train But then there's another train that's going to come before,
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:47.508
But he didn't know if that train stopped at that stop And I told him, hey, yes it does,
00:06:48.158 --> 00:06:54.766
And he looked at me like, thank you sir I appreciate it This is my first day at work,
00:06:55.651 --> 00:06:56.911
Hear me out, peoples,
00:06:57.973 --> 00:07:02.239
This is my first day at work And I do not want to be late.
00:07:06.110 --> 00:07:09.940
Excuse me about that See, I'm not going to edit that Because I'm just thinking
00:07:09.940 --> 00:07:15.630
here I got a little soaked up Because it kind of reminds It reminded me of so
00:07:15.630 --> 00:07:17.871
many situations Myself and others,
00:07:18.629 --> 00:07:23.150
That finally you get this job And it's your first day at work Now the gentleman was,
00:07:23.954 --> 00:07:28.490
seem a little bit older than me and based on the conversation a bit older than me.
00:07:28.490 --> 00:07:31.200
So he's, you know, he's finally, you know, from what I gather,
00:07:31.444 --> 00:07:34.523
he got hurt at work. You know, if you're doing construction, you already know.
00:07:34.796 --> 00:07:36.688
I guess that's a given for sure.
00:07:37.285 --> 00:07:41.093
Now he's back and this is his first day at work.
00:07:41.523 --> 00:07:46.817
So he's taking it serious. He's striding for to make it happen because you know what?
00:07:47.160 --> 00:07:53.864
He doesn't want to disappoint nobody and doesn't want to make a bad impression on the first day at work.
00:07:56.195 --> 00:07:58.750
And I say to myself, and I'm telling the end of the radio, I got you,
00:07:58.750 --> 00:08:00.293
we're going to make it happen.
00:08:00.653 --> 00:08:03.770
The next train is coming in a few minutes, and you know what?
00:08:03.770 --> 00:08:05.830
We get there. You're going to get there in the time.
00:08:06.282 --> 00:08:08.483
And once that train comes in, I see, wait a minute.
00:08:09.037 --> 00:08:12.235
I already seen my train radar. I already seen this movie before.
00:08:12.822 --> 00:08:15.945
That train right there is not supposed to be in that track.
00:08:17.038 --> 00:08:20.560
That ever happened to you? You ever been in a place taking a train,
00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.776
and you said to yourself, why that train is there again?
00:08:24.113 --> 00:08:28.782
Something's going on As the train is It's coming into the train station,
00:08:29.464 --> 00:08:32.872
Or the subway station So people might say Well you know What's the difference
00:08:33.197 --> 00:08:37.990
Well you know We in the subway now We under So it becomes a subway station Let's
00:08:37.990 --> 00:08:41.040
go Chuck that at 101 What is it.
00:08:42.220 --> 00:08:46.100
Oh crap I learned something You know And I see that train And it's a little
00:08:46.100 --> 00:08:51.330
bit empty And I'm like scratching myself Scratching my head I say And I'm looking
00:08:51.330 --> 00:08:54.202
at And boom We go in there and something just doesn't seem right.
00:08:54.957 --> 00:08:58.974
And this gentleman's like, okay, yes, you know, yes. He's feeling good.
00:08:59.518 --> 00:09:02.072
But I'm like, something doesn't seem right.
00:09:03.070 --> 00:09:08.225
As we both sit down, talking, yapping, let's go, boop, boop, sports, whatever.
00:09:09.128 --> 00:09:15.550
And then within a minute, the whole mood changes.
00:09:15.550 --> 00:09:20.100
When you hear the PA, again, amen to those people out there who live in New
00:09:20.100 --> 00:09:26.273
York City, who knows that when you, the PA person, the conductor goes and says,
00:09:27.108 --> 00:09:31.800
apologize for the delay, this train, you know, whatever it is,
00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:33.249
you know, so on and so forth.
00:09:33.829 --> 00:09:37.977
It's the whole, well, you know, I kind of apologize for the delay type of deal.
00:09:38.337 --> 00:09:41.900
This train has been held by the whatever it is that's been held.
00:09:42.538 --> 00:09:43.751
And let me tell you something.
00:09:44.789 --> 00:09:50.616
I'm across this gentleman, and I kid you not, we both sit in there, Ahem.
00:09:51.722 --> 00:09:55.372
And, again, I'm not going to apologize because I might crack up a little bit.
00:09:55.372 --> 00:09:57.142
But I say crack up, you know what I mean?
00:09:57.222 --> 00:10:02.422
You know, a little tear because I'm looking at this gentleman.
00:10:02.422 --> 00:10:04.575
It's the first day of work.
00:10:05.388 --> 00:10:10.357
And he got this news that this train would be delayed. You would have to see this gentleman's face.
00:10:10.845 --> 00:10:16.299
It's like whatever it is that he was feeling, it just flew out of his body.
00:10:16.863 --> 00:10:25.616
I mean, his face went from this happy, smiley to like, what the hell is going on?
00:10:26.075 --> 00:10:31.613
And this is where your boy Deconstructing Topics, a.k.a. David.
00:10:32.961 --> 00:10:40.631
It's there, and I'm saying, oh, my goodness, this will be a story to tell because
00:10:40.631 --> 00:10:44.004
I'm looking at this gentleman, and I'm not here trying to make fun of the individual.
00:10:44.294 --> 00:10:46.680
I'm not trying to put him down, but we've been there.
00:10:47.261 --> 00:10:50.053
Goddamn, the first day at work, and really, this got to happen?
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:54.829
And you start to realize in life, because as we sit in there,
00:10:55.432 --> 00:11:01.998
time is passing one to two minutes to three minutes to four minutes to five,
00:11:02.586 --> 00:11:09.011
And as each minute, even each second is passing I'm looking at somebody who
00:11:09.011 --> 00:11:14.422
was ready to give up And he was just saying, oh my God, you see what happens?
00:11:14.997 --> 00:11:20.311
It's my first day at work and I don't want to make a bad impression And he wants
00:11:20.311 --> 00:11:26.071
her to break down And I'm like, David, compose yourself Take a deep breath, you know what I mean?
00:11:26.071 --> 00:11:32.651
Take a deep breath, David Because somebody's now going to depend on you And
00:11:32.651 --> 00:11:36.510
I'm not saying that he did it intentionally, that he's depending on me. But the fact is this.
00:11:37.981 --> 00:11:40.829
Take a deep breath, just like you're listening to this podcast.
00:11:41.293 --> 00:11:44.317
Whenever you feel down that everything, the cards are going right.
00:11:44.561 --> 00:11:49.461
And just when you want something right to happen, it doesn't goddamn happen,
00:11:50.262 --> 00:11:51.568
because it's out of your control.
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.637
And that's one of the lessons in regards to that situation. I'm looking at this person.
00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:01.341
And it's like in life, we always tend to this happen. That there's a lot of
00:12:01.341 --> 00:12:07.221
things that we Have no control of And when we have no control of Those certain
00:12:07.221 --> 00:12:11.386
things and many things The question is What are you going to do about it?
00:12:12.661 --> 00:12:16.970
And I started to think, as this person, it's huffing and puffing.
00:12:17.353 --> 00:12:22.291
And I'm feeling and I'm sensing the frustration and the sadness.
00:12:22.291 --> 00:12:27.151
And, you know, like he's like looking like he's about to break down and just
00:12:27.151 --> 00:12:32.391
quit. And just like, I said, my friend, take a deep breath.
00:12:32.501 --> 00:12:35.121
I looked at him in the eyes. Relax.
00:12:36.095 --> 00:12:37.018
We're going to move.
00:12:38.589 --> 00:12:44.071
If not, do we have someone to call? Oh, he said, yeah, I'm still,
00:12:44.071 --> 00:12:47.571
you know, he looked at his phone because even though despite that we are under
00:12:47.571 --> 00:12:53.062
the tunnel subway, we are stuck in the train station. So we are getting some type of signal.
00:12:53.364 --> 00:12:56.567
I mean, I'll be more specific, a cell phone signal.
00:12:56.966 --> 00:13:01.451
What he does, he calls the person, the manager, whoever he got a report to.
00:13:01.451 --> 00:13:04.441
Hey, listen, I might be late for one minute or two.
00:13:04.461 --> 00:13:08.519
I'm here stuck in the train. There's some signal forms, so on and so forth.
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:12.741
He felt good. Again, the conductor, the conductor, hey, listen,
00:13:12.741 --> 00:13:16.388
the PA, whoever it is, they're not doing a good job. They're not helping your board date.
00:13:16.754 --> 00:13:19.592
But keep saying that it's delayed, delayed, delayed signal prompts.
00:13:20.072 --> 00:13:22.861
You already know what that means in New York City. If you're taking a subway
00:13:22.861 --> 00:13:24.379
signal prompt, what does that mean?
00:13:24.948 --> 00:13:28.860
You either could be stuck for five minutes or you could be stuck for 30.
00:13:29.226 --> 00:13:32.100
Or sometimes if that happens to me, you could be stuck for an hour.
00:13:33.366 --> 00:13:38.696
The good thing we're stuck in the subway station with the doors open where we
00:13:38.696 --> 00:13:44.040
could you know just in and out get some air whatever the case might be once again the young brother,
00:13:44.770 --> 00:13:49.085
despite being a little bit older than me I like to say you know what.
00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:56.116
My uh wisdom has been here for decades and I'm looking at him and I'm like once
00:13:56.116 --> 00:13:59.326
again take a deep breath and he's just huffing and puffing again.
00:13:59.326 --> 00:14:00.848
It's like, wow, I can't believe it.
00:14:01.191 --> 00:14:05.271
And so on. And I said, you know what? Once again, relax. You know what?
00:14:05.873 --> 00:14:08.485
Think about what to do next. And he said, you know what?
00:14:09.110 --> 00:14:13.436
You're right. So he started taking pictures of the signs, you know,
00:14:13.436 --> 00:14:16.454
the TV screen that says it's delayed or whatever it is.
00:14:16.802 --> 00:14:20.136
Boom. He's doing that. Once again, he goes back because again,
00:14:20.136 --> 00:14:21.934
I could feel his pain and I've been there.
00:14:22.317 --> 00:14:26.896
I've been there. I've been, you know, it's been a long time that I'm in a different
00:14:26.896 --> 00:14:30.633
job because I'm here doing my thing for 20 years. Let's go. Let's go.
00:14:31.005 --> 00:14:35.316
But the fact is this long time ago, you know, when you coming in the job market
00:14:35.316 --> 00:14:36.618
or whatever the case might be,
00:14:36.978 --> 00:14:40.299
either your first time or when you start or whatever, something happens.
00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:43.602
It's like everything's going wrong. Murphy's law, right?
00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:48.605
But the fact that this gentleman right here is like feeling kind of defeated
00:14:48.913 --> 00:14:51.043
and it's like, oh my goodness, I just got better.
00:14:51.304 --> 00:14:54.538
So for this to happen and so on and said, you know what?
00:14:55.241 --> 00:15:00.436
He took the pictures once again. Your boy, Decon, said, okay,
00:15:00.436 --> 00:15:03.046
what's your next move? Because I'm over here trying to pep him,
00:15:03.406 --> 00:15:05.271
like trying to calm him down.
00:15:06.095 --> 00:15:12.573
And at the same time, trying to clear his mind so he could make the next move. What does he do?
00:15:13.285 --> 00:15:16.627
He contacts his wife. He's like, yes, let me contact my wife.
00:15:17.097 --> 00:15:19.210
I hope she's up. She picks up.
00:15:19.726 --> 00:15:26.700
And in my mind, and I want to say, This is the way I think I had a couple of cash dollars on me,
00:15:27.902 --> 00:15:32.110
And in my mind, I said to myself, I feel like just, you know,
00:15:32.749 --> 00:15:34.502
here's something. Take a cab. Hurry up.
00:15:35.153 --> 00:15:37.440
You can't make it, perhaps.
00:15:38.157 --> 00:15:41.862
I'm going to lean that, yeah, he can't make it. Now, I'm one,
00:15:41.862 --> 00:15:43.630
you know, because I do have a podcast.
00:15:44.302 --> 00:15:46.974
I tend to network and tell people, hey, listen, I got a podcast.
00:15:47.212 --> 00:15:50.638
But for some reason, I'm like, you know what? Don't even mention anything different.
00:15:51.607 --> 00:15:54.985
Let it be. Let it play it out. See, you're saving somebody's life.
00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:59.582
You're trying to help somebody that's just feeling, you know,
00:15:59.582 --> 00:16:01.722
it's not just feeling, but just kind of talking about, you know,
00:16:01.722 --> 00:16:03.843
just giving up or whatever the case might be.
00:16:05.082 --> 00:16:09.232
But then he's talking to his wife and he's like, okay. So now my understanding
00:16:09.232 --> 00:16:13.542
is that they also got like a little side business going on, but he needs some steady income.
00:16:13.542 --> 00:16:16.585
And he's like, okay. So, you know, you kind of hear the word that,
00:16:16.776 --> 00:16:20.718
you know, his wife is going to send him some money or whatever. You know how that goes.
00:16:21.252 --> 00:16:23.800
And he's like, you know what? I'm going to take a cab.
00:16:24.551 --> 00:16:29.642
Tardine, you know, all for that, you know, that little $20, you know,
00:16:29.642 --> 00:16:31.801
take a cab, whatever. Could have been more. Who knows?
00:16:32.358 --> 00:16:37.322
But just the thought, but just the fact that that was in my mind And just to
00:16:37.322 --> 00:16:40.412
clear his mind that he's talking to his wife, and his wife is telling him,
00:16:40.412 --> 00:16:42.186
I got you. I got you, babe.
00:16:43.902 --> 00:16:48.625
I got you, babe. And he took a cab. Now, keep in mind, it's this.
00:16:49.185 --> 00:16:55.698
He is 15 minutes away from where the time that he's supposed to be at work.
00:16:56.648 --> 00:17:01.822
Could he make it you taking a cab? Absolutely. I would take it that the cab would have to speed up.
00:17:02.939 --> 00:17:05.912
But when the gentleman got up, he looked at me Thank you so much,
00:17:05.912 --> 00:17:12.382
he thanked me And again, I could have given my card and whatever My phone number,
00:17:12.382 --> 00:17:14.969
whatever contact information But something just told me,
00:17:15.490 --> 00:17:20.666
let this story be Now, whether he got there, I don't know I'm trying to,
00:17:20.957 --> 00:17:25.066
he did tell me where he works at I'm trying to see if I could, you know,
00:17:25.606 --> 00:17:30.762
get some information there I'll reach out to that union to see if I could find
00:17:30.762 --> 00:17:35.441
this gentleman with the hope that, you know, he does listen to this beautiful episode.
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:39.752
To thank me and shake his hand and like, thank you for everything.
00:17:40.220 --> 00:17:45.388
And those 15 minutes was just definitely one of the most interesting and reasoned times for me.
00:17:46.141 --> 00:17:50.036
Because, you know, sometimes in life, people don't know what the hell they are doing.
00:17:50.600 --> 00:17:54.640
Sometimes in life, people need that guidance. I'm the wolfman. Ow!
00:17:56.379 --> 00:17:59.490
I'm that person that's supposed to guide you. That's my job.
00:17:59.490 --> 00:18:01.106

00:18:12.858 --> 00:18:17.440
That it doesn't get any different That life and that's it And that's the bottom
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.381
line of that story Ladies and gentlemen Welcome to New York City,
00:18:22.033 --> 00:18:26.050
Where we're with this gentleman And people are going to relate to this story
00:18:26.242 --> 00:18:29.990
And they're going to relate to this part The fact that the minute that this
00:18:29.990 --> 00:18:31.870
gentleman I'm not going to say
00:18:31.870 --> 00:18:36.383
the minute But in two minutes that he left that train and took the cab,
00:18:36.943 --> 00:18:42.320
the PA says, please stand back and be closing the doors.
00:18:42.942 --> 00:18:44.568
The train started working.
00:18:45.681 --> 00:18:48.100
What's crazy about that is that
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:52.972
I know and I recall the station that he told me that he needs to be in.
00:18:53.582 --> 00:18:58.269
He needs to be in there at 5, I think it was 5.15.
00:18:58.871 --> 00:19:03.840
When that train closed And I got to that station It was 5.17 In other words
00:19:04.206 --> 00:19:06.475
It would have been only two minutes late to the station.
00:19:07.711 --> 00:19:11.101
All he had to do is just run and not spend extra money. But hey,
00:19:11.101 --> 00:19:14.528
listen, that's a beautiful story indeed. But you know what's crazy?
00:19:15.384 --> 00:19:19.547
I kept on telling this individual, trust the process.
00:19:20.178 --> 00:19:23.752
This train will be moving or it will move.
00:19:24.330 --> 00:19:29.591
And I'm not trying to imply that he didn't trust me, but it's my intuition that
00:19:29.591 --> 00:19:34.001
it was going to move and he eventually got to his destination.
00:19:34.610 --> 00:19:38.741
Again, I don't know if he did, but I'm going to take it And I'm going to manifest
00:19:38.741 --> 00:19:42.219
that he did and he's working and he remembers me.
00:19:42.820 --> 00:19:46.723
And I'm hoping that will come across somewhere, somehow, someday.
00:19:47.685 --> 00:19:50.828
Because it is a story of so many things.
00:19:51.653 --> 00:19:58.597
But it is a story where in life, there's so many things that you're just not going to have control.
00:19:59.208 --> 00:20:03.561
But if you don't have control or you come in a situation where you don't have
00:20:03.561 --> 00:20:05.599
control, the question is, what are you going to do?
00:20:06.317 --> 00:20:07.960
What are you going to do?
00:20:08.878 --> 00:20:12.191
Because sometimes when things are out of your hand, as one person will say,
00:20:12.815 --> 00:20:16.152
I'm still in control. And that's where the question comes in.
00:20:16.711 --> 00:20:20.141
What are you going to do? We make it happen. Hopefully you enjoy this.
00:20:20.141 --> 00:20:22.011

00:20:22.272 --> 00:20:25.946

I'm here saving life. I've been saving life for over two decades And perhaps
00:20:35.786 --> 00:20:39.849
