Speaker 1: Icey's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's up
Speaker 1: to Sizes Team? You're listening to The Daily Game the
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
Speaker 1: I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote is something I keep in mind to stay motivated.
Speaker 1: This one comes from a prolific American author who's basically
Speaker 1: has become a household name, at least in my house,
Speaker 1: James Patterson. If it seems like you're going in circles,
Speaker 1: it's probably because you're cutting corners. I mean, you can't
Speaker 1: really sugarcoat this one. This is saying you are looking
Speaker 1: for a shortcut, so you keep having to start over again.
Speaker 1: You're cutting corners. You have to finish each task to
Speaker 1: the fullest. Every step that is required to accomplish this
Speaker 1: mission that you're set out for yourself has to be
Speaker 1: done in full. But if you keep cutting corners, and
Speaker 1: you keep looking for a shortcut, you will continue to
Speaker 1: have to start over and over and over again. I
Speaker 1: was taught young that if you buy something that's cheap quality,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to buy a lot of them. If
Speaker 1: you buy something in good quality. It might cost more,
Speaker 1: but you might only have to spend that money once.
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about a name brand, I'm talking about quality.
Speaker 1: So when you cut corners and you try to say, oh,
Speaker 1: this is an easier way or a cheaper way, you're
Speaker 1: gonna end up doing it over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: I've learned this so many times in my life with
Speaker 1: trying to pinch pennies, saying oh, we'll get this, and
Speaker 1: we get that it's a little bit cheaper, and the
Speaker 1: damn thing broke in like six months or whatever. It
Speaker 1: just didn't stand up. I could have spent a little
Speaker 1: more money and had something of quality that would have
Speaker 1: stood to test the time. This comes with people too,
Speaker 1: if you're hiring people. We just had a situation with
Speaker 1: Coco's moms where she was dealing with somebody with her
Speaker 1: dog and she decided to pick the cheapest person. Well,
Speaker 1: the cheapest person was a fuck up. You know, they
Speaker 1: say you get what you paid for. Sometimes you do.
Speaker 1: But she tried to cut corners and ended up having
Speaker 1: to stop in the middle of what she was doing
Speaker 1: with the dog and had to start again with someone
Speaker 1: else because she was cutting corners and it made her
Speaker 1: return back to the beginning, which is going in circles.
Speaker 1: I guess at the end of the day, the shortcut
Speaker 1: doesn't necessarily get you there faster. If you follow the
Speaker 1: road that's been plotted out to get to where you're
Speaker 1: trying to go, and you do it to the fullest
Speaker 1: and correctly, you'll probably only have to take that trip
Speaker 1: one time and you won't continue going in circles. This
Speaker 1: has been another ice cold fact from me Iced Tea.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay in
Speaker 1: control of your game. No shortcuts, ICE's Daily Game. It's
