“Change by Tire” Script

12

• The Steering Wheel JerkedI tried to keep the Car in ControlThat night in Chicago a flat tire changed meI pulled in the nearby gas-station and in the bright lights, parked on a Slope, leading to a Busy Street

•Mr. Contest Chair, Toastmasters and GuestsHave you ever done something Stupid?I broke the 1st rule of changing a tire – Choose a leveled spotFriends in Chicago, there aren’t that many slopes. But that night, I found oneWhy do flat tires always happen when you are dressed up?Opened the Trunk, Excavated the Jack – Unused for Centuries. Rusty Piece of Metal

“Change by Tire” Script

13

• I thought, I can handle it.Loosen the NutsPlaced the Jack downCreeek, Creeek, Creeek

•Half Hour to remove the tireThe only support in the front – The Rusty Jack

•Back in the Trunk I pulled out the spare tire, Shook the entire carI saw the car going downhill.BangThe Jack Collapsed. The Car Collapsed. My Lungs Collapsed.

•An Inner Voice Said. “You are an Idiot”.

“Change by Tire” Script

14

•Then Another Voice, “Reach Out.”

•Reach Out? I can handle it

•Creeek, Creeek, Creeek

•Lifted the car almost enoughBang

•If at first you don’t succeed

•Creeek, Creeek, Creeek

•Almost enough – Bang

•The Car had moved to a steeper slopeI grasped the gravity of the situation

“Change by Tire” Script

15

•The People at the Bus Stop Approached the Street were looking at me. I was giving a demonstration, How not to change a tire. Then that voice again, “Reach Out”.

•Reach Out?Should I wow them?Of course not.

•Huh…That’s not my car

• In the Gas Station behind the counter stood a big man with a big smile.

•Badge Read – Jessie. He said, “My friend, was your car doing Pushups?”

“Change by Tire” Script

16

• I told him I did something stupid, I asked him for help

• We got out, Jessie Looked at the Car and Said, “You are Right. That’s stupid. Let me show you.”

• Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek, Creeeeek,

• You never know who you going to find when you reach outI found DJM – Distinguished Jack Master

• Jessie Helped me lift the car up.Rusty Foolish Hand shook Rusty Helping HandThat night I stopped to change a tire. Instead the Tire Changed me.

• I used to believe that to reach out was weakness. I discovered my weakness was refusing to reach outWhen you reach out you Attract ideas that Lift You Up. When you reach out, You Attract Solutions, that Lift You Up. When you reach out to you attract friendships that Lift You Up.

“Change by Tire” Script

17

•May be you want a better voice, reach out to a singer. May be you want better writing, reach out to a writer. May be you want better, tire Changing Skills?Reach Out – To Me. I will give you Jessie’s Number.

• Is there Something….Collapsed In Your Life?

•Your knowledge may be limited, Your skills may be rusty, But no doubt you will be changed, when you reach out.
