1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,680 Speaker 1: Icey's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's up 2 00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: to Sizes Team? You're listening to The Daily Game the 3 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that 4 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 1: I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: Today's quote is something I keep in mind to stay motivated. 6 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 1: This one comes from a prolific American author who's basically 7 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: has become a household name, at least in my house, 8 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,480 Speaker 1: James Patterson. If it seems like you're going in circles, 9 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: it's probably because you're cutting corners. I mean, you can't 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,280 Speaker 1: really sugarcoat this one. This is saying you are looking 11 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: for a shortcut, so you keep having to start over again. 12 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: You're cutting corners. You have to finish each task to 13 00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:55,360 Speaker 1: the fullest. Every step that is required to accomplish this 14 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: mission that you're set out for yourself has to be 15 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: done in full. But if you keep cutting corners, and 16 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: you keep looking for a shortcut, you will continue to 17 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:10,680 Speaker 1: have to start over and over and over again. I 18 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 1: was taught young that if you buy something that's cheap quality, 19 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to buy a lot of them. If 20 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: you buy something in good quality. It might cost more, 21 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: but you might only have to spend that money once. 22 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a name brand, I'm talking about quality. 23 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: So when you cut corners and you try to say, oh, 24 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: this is an easier way or a cheaper way, you're 25 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: gonna end up doing it over and over and over again. 26 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: I've learned this so many times in my life with 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: trying to pinch pennies, saying oh, we'll get this, and 28 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 1: we get that it's a little bit cheaper, and the 29 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: damn thing broke in like six months or whatever. It 30 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,639 Speaker 1: just didn't stand up. I could have spent a little 31 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: more money and had something of quality that would have 32 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: stood to test the time. This comes with people too, 33 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: if you're hiring people. We just had a situation with 34 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: Coco's moms where she was dealing with somebody with her 35 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: dog and she decided to pick the cheapest person. Well, 36 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,919 Speaker 1: the cheapest person was a fuck up. You know, they 37 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: say you get what you paid for. Sometimes you do. 38 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: But she tried to cut corners and ended up having 39 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: to stop in the middle of what she was doing 40 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: with the dog and had to start again with someone 41 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: else because she was cutting corners and it made her 42 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: return back to the beginning, which is going in circles. 43 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: I guess at the end of the day, the shortcut 44 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily get you there faster. If you follow the 45 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: road that's been plotted out to get to where you're 46 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: trying to go, and you do it to the fullest 47 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: and correctly, you'll probably only have to take that trip 48 00:02:53,520 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: one time and you won't continue going in circles. This 49 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: has been another ice cold fact from me Iced Tea. 50 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your 51 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay in 52 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: control of your game.
