WEBVTT - Cutting Corners

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.680
<v Speaker 1>Icey's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's up

0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to Sizes Team? You're listening to The Daily Game the

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.440 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote is something I keep in mind to stay motivated.

0:00:22.120 --> 0:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>This one comes from a prolific American author who's basically

0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>has become a household name, at least in my house,

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:33.480
<v Speaker 1>James Patterson. If it seems like you're going in circles,

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>it's probably because you're cutting corners. I mean, you can't

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>really sugarcoat this one. This is saying you are looking

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>for a shortcut, so you keep having to start over again.

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>You're cutting corners. You have to finish each task to

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the fullest. Every step that is required to accomplish this

0:00:55.560 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>mission that you're set out for yourself has to be

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>done in full. But if you keep cutting corners, and

0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:06.319
<v Speaker 1>you keep looking for a shortcut, you will continue to

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:10.680
<v Speaker 1>have to start over and over and over again. I

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:14.840
<v Speaker 1>was taught young that if you buy something that's cheap quality,

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have to buy a lot of them. If

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you buy something in good quality. It might cost more,

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>but you might only have to spend that money once.

0:01:25.160 --> 0:01:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm not talking about a name brand, I'm talking about quality.

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>So when you cut corners and you try to say, oh,

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>this is an easier way or a cheaper way, you're

0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.319
<v Speaker 1>gonna end up doing it over and over and over again.

0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>I've learned this so many times in my life with

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to pinch pennies, saying oh, we'll get this, and

0:01:43.800 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>we get that it's a little bit cheaper, and the

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>damn thing broke in like six months or whatever. It

0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:52.639
<v Speaker 1>just didn't stand up. I could have spent a little

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>more money and had something of quality that would have

0:01:57.280 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>stood to test the time. This comes with people too,

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>if you're hiring people. We just had a situation with

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Coco's moms where she was dealing with somebody with her

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>dog and she decided to pick the cheapest person. Well,

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>the cheapest person was a fuck up. You know, they

0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>say you get what you paid for. Sometimes you do.

0:02:17.200 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>But she tried to cut corners and ended up having

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 1>to stop in the middle of what she was doing

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>with the dog and had to start again with someone

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>else because she was cutting corners and it made her

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>return back to the beginning, which is going in circles.

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I guess at the end of the day, the shortcut

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't necessarily get you there faster. If you follow the

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>road that's been plotted out to get to where you're

0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to go, and you do it to the fullest

0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>and correctly, you'll probably only have to take that trip

0:02:53.520 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 1>one time and you won't continue going in circles. This

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>has been another ice cold fact from me Iced Tea.

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your

0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:11.680

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:18.400
