Steve Harvey shares for the first time that he will gift a television every year to the teacher who said he can never be on television!
Steve Harvey, despite facing discouragement from his sixth-grade teacher who scoffed at his dream of being on TV, turned the tables on his naysayer in a remarkable way. Back in his school days, when Steve boldly expressed his aspirations, his teacher dismissed him, deeming his goal absurd and even labeling him a “smart aleck.” Undeterred, Steve, with the unwavering support of his father, persisted in pursuing his dreams in the entertainment industry.
Years later, after achieving success, Steve chose a unique way to send a powerful message to his former teacher. Every Christmas, he made a poignant gesture by gifting her a television. A symbolic act aimed at proving that his seemingly “ridiculous” dream had become a reality. Steve’s determination, fueled by his father’s encouragement, not only defied the skepticism he faced but also led him to embrace a transformative principle of success.
Join Steve as he reflects on this pivotal incident and shares how the influence of his father shaped his journey toward achieving his dreams.
