WEBVTT - Work For Success

0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>up to sight See? You're listening to the Daily Game,

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.959
<v Speaker 1>the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.240 --> 0:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>that I found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes from a legendary homie from

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>Los Angeles. He's a jeweler to the stars, grew up

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>in South central Los Angeles, one of my Korean homeboys.

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:34.800
<v Speaker 1>But he's definitely gangster ben Baller. He says, nowadays, people

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>are more concerned with looking successful than actually working to

0:00:39.280 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>be successful. Once again, the curse of social media. You

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>in the picture you got the Gucci belt. One day

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to people around and saying, why these

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>brothers sag solo? Why did they sag they pants solo?

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 1>And a youngster told me so we could see the belt,

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:03.280
<v Speaker 1>the Gucci belt or whatever Basachi belt. The T shirt

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>hangs to a certain level to show the belt. I

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.560
<v Speaker 1>have to wear my pants that low. I'm like you

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>are that concern about flosson. We are so concerned right

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>now with looking the part versus being the part.

0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Now there's a theory out there.

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 1>It's somebody's pushing, which is faked till you'll make it.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>I disagree.

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I always did say you keep your front up, your

0:01:29.319 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>back will be okay.

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 2>I have nothing wrong with looking good.

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>You never want to look bad because say you need help, Well,

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>if you come to me looking bad bad, I might

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:44.199
<v Speaker 1>think you'll never be back on your feet. So whatever

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I help you with, you'll never repay it. If you

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>look good, I might be like, okay, this is just

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>a minute, he'll be right back. So there's two ways

0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>of looking at this. So I don't have nothing wrong

0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:57.520
<v Speaker 1>with trying to look good. I think we all should

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>look good, you know, as possible. But fake it till

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>you make it. That pushes the line that's like lying.

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:11.160
<v Speaker 1>Faking to me means really really lying, saying you own

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>record labels, saying this, saying that, taking pictures with people

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:18.679
<v Speaker 1>and claiming you know them in all that kind of way.

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 1>Because even if you finagle yourself into a position, you're

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.919
<v Speaker 1>not going to be able to come with the goods.

0:02:25.600 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>You still have to have the goods. They're gonna find

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.720
<v Speaker 1>that you're a fraud at some point. So I'm split

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>on that theory of faking it till you make it.

0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I say, look good at all costs. Nobody wants to

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 1>believe in somebody doesn't carry they self with a little

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>bit of dignity and a little bit of class.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.440
<v Speaker 2>But fake it till you make it.

0:02:49.080 --> 0:02:53.240
<v Speaker 1>And now people are so concerned with looking successful they

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:56.359
<v Speaker 1>don't even care if they're broke. They don't even care

0:02:56.680 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>if they're actually being successful. A player told me one time,

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>he said, ice squares run the world. He said, we

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>spend so much time trying to look fly and be

0:03:07.800 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>fly that we not handling the business. And then the

0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:16.320
<v Speaker 1>square guy that you thought couldn't dress or whatever, he's

0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>in school and he graduates and he gets the big job,

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and now he just passes in the Lamborghini paid for

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>and more money coming every month, while we over here

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:34.680
<v Speaker 1>concentrating on looking fly, looking successful, but not being successful.

0:03:35.600 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 2>I say, work hard.

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:40.960
<v Speaker 1>So it can be real, you know, so you can

0:03:41.160 --> 0:03:43.560
<v Speaker 1>make it and you can stop faking it.

0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 2>Here's the big problem.

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 1>Once people get master faking it, they tend to never stop,

0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:54.120
<v Speaker 1>and they never stop faking it even when they get

0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:58.160
<v Speaker 1>some money. They are continuously being fake. And that's a

0:03:58.200 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>pathetic life. This has been another ice colde fact from

0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>me iced Tea, listening again tomorrow when I drop some

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:12.400

<v Speaker 1>and remember what's on the inside always has to be

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>more important than what's on the outside.
