Time transcripts of #2 David Martin 16 Years Old Talk

[00:00:00.04]	I was asked to give a talk in a church meeting 

[00:00:06.12]	where there, it was a congregation full of men and women and children

[00:00:11.24]	and being 16 and trying to be cute, 

[00:00:15.03]	I decided that I was going to bring 

[00:00:17.70]	six, seven books up to the podium, so that 

[00:00:23.83]	I could impress the congregation with my, with what I had studied

[00:00:30.34]	even though I hadn't studied any of them. 

[00:00:32.73]	Well, I had a good friend. 

[00:00:35.37]	He was in the back of the congregation, 

[00:00:37.41]	so he started waving his hands at me when I was talking

[00:00:41.99]	and I lost my place and um

[00:00:47.49]	so I quickly, it was about seven pages long, 

[00:00:53.19]	but since I lost my place and I was so flustered, 

[00:00:56.34]	I just went to the last page and read the last

[00:01:00.21]	portion of this talk that I had prepared and sat down. 

[00:01:03.40]	And I vowed that I would never speak or teach again. 

[00:01:09.01]	I'm happy that I didn't keep that vow, 

[00:01:15.40]	but that was a good lesson on um, humility, I think for me.
