RUSH: Here\u2019s David in Tennessee. David, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.<\/p>\n

\"\"CALLER: Good afternoon, Rush. You talked the other day on your 30th anniversary<\/a> about being fired seven times. I\u2019ve had that same experience. Not seven times yet, but then again I\u2019m not your age, I\u2019ve been fired four times. And I always, after being terminated from a job, I would have that gut wrenching feeling for all of 30 minutes, jump on the phone, get another job and be back to work. And what I want to teach my children is to fail well. Not to be failures in the term, but to fail well, and learn from that.<\/p>\n

In this country where we\u2019re giving trophies for participation, where we\u2019re sitting there and we\u2019re rewarding the least little thing that children do, when we don\u2019t call out the MVP anymore. It\u2019s ridiculous. And yet this country of any country in the world you can fail and fail and fail multiple times and still at the end succeed as long as you have the determination and grit to do it.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what you keep talking about. That\u2019s the example you gave the other day of your 30 years of doing what you\u2019re doing. No one else, after getting fired seven times, would be doing this, apart from the fact that you and I strive for excellence. I don\u2019t mean to sound like I\u2019m being braggadocios or anything, but that\u2019s what I\u2019m constantly pointing my children at. I have three wonderful, beautiful girls. They\u2019re intelligent, wise children, but you know, I want them to fail.<\/p>\n

RUSH: You\u2019re talking about values that when I was growing up and when you were growing up and when my parents and grandparents and their parents and grandparents were growing up, we\u2019re talking about values that have been universal. The route to success is comprised of hard work and diligence, and you know the prescription. But societies are constantly changing and traditions are always, I don\u2019t want to say under assault, but they are.<\/p>\n

New generations come along and some of them don\u2019t want to accept the traditions and ways of their parents and grandparents. So there\u2019s always flux, there\u2019s always change, but this is why people talk about time honored traditions. That there are basic rules, human rules, that no matter when they\u2019re applied, work. No matter what circumstances you\u2019re in, they work. And I think your sense is that even those time honored, generation after generation after generation, are now being chipped away and may not survive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And you want them to for your kids, which you can do. As much of a chance you have to be around them — and I would applaud you for it. I don\u2019t recommend everybody get fired seven times. Nothing valorous about it, but it happened and you have to remain dedicated to your desires. That\u2019s all that got me through.<\/p>\n

I remained in love with what I wanted to do and I refused to accept that the people firing me were smarter than I was and were right when they told me I wasn\u2019t good enough to do it. If I wasn\u2019t good enough, I had the maturity and knowledge, I would admit it to myself and I never did. It leads to all different kinds of motivation, but stick with it. You\u2019ll eventually prevail. But you\u2019re going to be up against all kinds of societal pressures to the contrary. I wish you luck. I don\u2019t mean to cut short here but time is just going way fast and I\u2019m way long. I\u2019ve got to go.<\/p>\n
