00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Up to SiZ Team. You're listening to The Daily Game

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and help me through the game

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: of life. Today we're celebrating the unofficial end of summer

6
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: with Labor Day. Kick your feet up, spend some time

7
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: with family and friends, and enjoy yourself. Today's quote comes

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: from Voltaire, a French writer and one of the most

9
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: influential philosophers from the eighteenth century. Each player must accept

10
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: the cards life deals him or her, but once they

11
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: are in hand, he or she must decide to play

12
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: the cards in order to win the game. So, in

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: other words, you don't have a choice. What race you are.

14
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: You don't have a choice. What sex you are. You

15
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: don't have a choice. Whether you were born into affluence

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: or poverty, you don't have a choice. It has to

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: do with your parents. Once your dealt is hand, it's

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: up to you to play the hand to the best

19
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: of your ability. Some people are dealt four aces and

20
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: still fuck it up. Some people are dealt bad hands,

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: like myself, and have managed to figure a way to

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: survive in the game. It doesn't matter what hand you've

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: been dealt. If you're a player, you're going to figure

24
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 1: the best way to play those cards so you can

25
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: win the game. And nobody can control that deck because

26
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: at birth, when you're coming out, you don't know where

27
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: you're coming out. As far as this deal, all I

28
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: can say is that if you want to believe in yourself,

29
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: look at all the players who've been dealt bad hands

30
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: that have managed to come out successful and on top.

31
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: One time I was doing research, and you know, I'm

32
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: an orphan, and I realize that a great percentage of

33
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: the billionaires in the world were orphans. Maybe that made

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: them realize that there was no one to fall back on.

35
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: That's one of the things that it motivated my hustle.

36
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: But I always said, you know, for me being black

37
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: coming out of the mud, the game is going to

38
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: be extra hard. But I said, I'm that much of

39
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: a better player than everybody, so that kind of leveled

40
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: the field. This has been another ice code fact from

41
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: me iced team. Listening again tomorrow when I drop some

42
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart,

43
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: and stay knowing that in the game of Life. No
