"Mr. DeHart Telling You Guys Some Stuff" - Bob DeHart

I don't know if you guys know how lucky we are to have Sean Algair and that other guy Beardy You know because I don't know if you understand how hard it is every day to get up in front of here and try to make everybody happy And make you sing and smile like I'm used to talking to people 10 to 15 20 people at a time and Sometimes in class, you know people aren't really with it. You know who you are and But Sean does it every day, you know stands up here enthusiasm happy even if he's not happy He makes you guys think he's happy and so I really appreciate Sean for that because I Mean I do it on a much smaller level every single day, and I know how difficult that is but to stand between Three 400 people every day and bring the enthusiasm and the love that he does I think we should get him a random plus And I feel like I got to clear the air a little bit because a lot of people have been asking me about the Chief Solutions Super Bowl I'm okay I did not I did not cry. I didn't kick any dogs or anything. I mean I was I hand it pretty well And here's the thing and I know there are a lot of you guys don't like the Chiefs, so I don't care But I mean when you've been in 5 LS six Super bowls One three and the last four I mean it's okay if we lose one. I mean, I mean, I don't know. I mean it's like you don't have to Win them all I think you share the love a little bit, right? So I mean we're okay and You know, I slept really good that night and most nights since I Didn't I didn't really have a title for my talk today, so that's that's what we get and I don't know I just felt like this is mr. D Hart telling you guys some stuff and I've seen some things. I've done some things. I've lived to tell about it. So I'm gonna share Just a few you things hopefully you'll take something home with you today for it. I'll share this This is one of my favorite pictures. I took this last summer. It's That I just get louder It took this in Morocco and I'm not really sure who this guy was but sometimes you just see a photo and In your mind and this guy we were getting on the bus to get ready to leave from one place to the next And I saw this guy sitting there and I thought I got to take a picture of this and he looks really sad You probably is upset. He didn't get his enough likes on his Instagram post so He's just sitting there. I really have no idea what his job is or what he's doing But it just I was one of those scenes that stuck with me. It's a little sad. I feel like but It is kind of what it is and so and I can't remember what I put on these next slides So I'm gonna be just as surprised as you guys when I see him. All right, but I have to know here's some rules Maybe to live by This is probably my one of my big ones Not everybody on the internet needs to know all your opinions It's okay if you key some things to yourself I'm gonna bet that nobody in here is ever won an argument on Facebook And really all it does is as you get You get people mad at you and then they don't like you and then they don't think the same about you And I you know, I don't I Keep a lot of stuff to myself online. I don't I don't share a lot of personal things online Everyone's a lot like if my when my grandma died. I didn't make a long Tribute post to her other people in my family did And it was just fine, you know everybody does their own things for stuff like that But for me sometimes it's okay just to know that if there's something going on the people that are closest to me They know and I don't need to broadcast it to the world or I don't need to have an argument about What's better ketchup or mustard online? I don't know whatever you guys argue about And so it's okay sometimes just to keep things to yourself. It doesn't need to be out there for everybody to read and have to know what you're thinking at that time This next one might be tough for some of you, but If you want to be successful as a student if you want to be successful on most things alive sometimes you have to be able to do boring things consistently whether it be reading your your textbooks or Even if you're an athlete that you, you know go to the weight room consistently If you you know have different things that you need to do to be successful that aren't gonna get you Famous on the internet on on Instagram You know, you still need to do those things to be successful and Sometimes it's not as glorious. It's not as glamorous to do some of these things But it's a necessity of life to do some of these things that aren't that great But you have to be able to be good at them consistently to be successful People only really care about how you make them feel Don't care how cool you are how tough you are our smart you are How pretty you are how talented you are Really what matters is how you treat people? The people that you treat that and this is I know it's kind of cliche to say this, but so the people that You do things for that can do nothing back in return for you is really what matters and so you think about those people that you treat how you treat them in your life and Ultimately any accolades or awards you get Won't mean as much if you have nobody to share it with and so I think you should spend some time I thinking about how you make other people feel And this would be a tough one for for some people I know Dr. Best It's okay if not everybody likes you We had actually we had discussion in one of my classes this morning about Is can you be an effective leader if you're not well liked and we had some good responses in class? But it's okay You don't have your life your happiness does not have to be determined on who likes you and who does not like you and This is going to come as a shock to some of you, but there's probably some people out there that don't like me I know I'm just a shocked as you guys but It's okay and especially it comes to a certain point where It's a burden lifted off your shoulders when you actually don't care What people like you and don't like you and again if you have your own your people your tribe your crowd You'll be fine and and I'm not saying that we should be mean to other people obviously based on the previous slide But I'm just saying I'm not gonna waste time worrying about people who may not like me if I have no control over Why they don't like me or there's something that I have may have done which is gonna come up next, but I honestly I like to kill people with kindness It takes longer, but I Do it's it's one of my favorite things to do so and This one here is you don't have to be defined by your mistakes because we all make mistakes and we hate to To always have to be when people see us and that's what what they think about and Do a lot of great things, but sometimes it's only on a mistake for people to see you in that way and so I'm gonna ask this question and I'm gonna See if the baseball guys are paying attention How many years is the average major league baseball career? Does anybody know? You say Jerry Jared's close. It's actually 2.7 years the average major league baseball career. Did you get that? All right, so So if the average player who makes it to the major leagues gets 2.7 years to prove who he is If I told you there was a guy who played 22 seasons had two thousand seven hundred and fifteen hits 174 homeruns in a 289 batting average. You think that's a pretty good. I mean, that's not quite Hall of Fame numbers, but pretty darn close, right? I mean, that's that's real close But if I once I say this guy's name and Dr. Pax gonna help me out on this. I hope I want to say his name and He's gonna tell me the first thing that pops into his head when I say this guy's name His name is Bill Buckner Drops the misses the behind bag and drops the miss the tag Well, he didn't miss the tag the ball just went right between his legs This is a picture of Bill Buckner 1986 World Series and Crucial play This game six I believe and If the Red Sox win this game, they win the World Series, right and Crucial moment Ground ball routine as any routine ground ball could be and It goes right between his legs. He runs right by it, and they they end up losing the game now If you're a baseball historian and you go back and watch this, you know They lost this game for way more reasons than Bill Buckner, but Bill Buckner takes the The brunt of the loss and for years. I mean there were songs written about it. There were albums made about it Books, I mean like I think one of the There was a song called forgiving Buckner that came out several years after this incident happened and he never lived it down his whole career Even though he played 22 seasons I mean 3000 hits is kind of like a milestone for most major league. You get 3000 hits are gonna be in the Hall of Fame for sure 289 batting average you'd be a multi-millionaire for sure if you hit that today and All of people remember is this one moment for him and And it's an unfortunate because really he had a great career and did a lot of great things But this is what people remember and so I think about like You know, obviously his job is pretty public so he didn't really have much of a choice people in the stands reminded him Constantly throughout those 22 years of his one mistake But we don't have to be that way. Do we I mean I? If people don't like me because of mistake I made in the past or if there's something that I You know just did not do as well as what they thought I should have It's okay for me to move on. I don't have to be that person in their eyes and sometimes people like to make I like to make a big deal about the sins you've committed in the past or You know sins period, you know if they You know I've heard people Talk about like they point out different sins that you should not do these things and and you shouldn't do those things But my point is is that sometimes What we should be talking to them about is Jesus and not just the mistakes that they've made because one If they don't have a relationship with Jesus, it doesn't really matter to them What their sins are it's not necessarily going to change their minds about what they're doing But to if you don't have a relationship with them, they're not going to listen to you either and so your your focus should be more on the relationship then than the sin Because and this is I really like the scripture for this because it says I'm past this part and I'm moving on to different aspects of my life So brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it But one thing I do Forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead I press on toward the goal to win the prize for what you got Has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus And really that last part is just probably the most important part because if I don't have Jesus Then it doesn't really matter and and I hope You don't have to live by the mistakes you've made in your past that you're able to to be Who you need to be because that's who Jesus calls you to now and Hopefully we can treat each other good and just love each other how Jesus wants us to so I'm done
