WEBVTT - Play Your Hand

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.440
<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 SiZ Team. You're listening to The Daily Game

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

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

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:22.160
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today we're celebrating the unofficial end of summer

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>with Labor Day. Kick your feet up, spend some time

0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:30.840
<v Speaker 1>with family and friends, and enjoy yourself. Today's quote comes

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>from Voltaire, a French writer and one of the most

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>influential philosophers from the eighteenth century. Each player must accept

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 1>the cards life deals him or her, but once they

0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.160
<v Speaker 1>are in hand, he or she must decide to play

0:00:46.159 --> 0:00:50.800
<v Speaker 1>the cards in order to win the game. So, in

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:53.960
<v Speaker 1>other words, you don't have a choice. What race you are.

0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 1>You don't have a choice. What sex you are. You

0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>don't have a choice. Whether you were born into affluence

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>or poverty, you don't have a choice. It has to

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:06.560
<v Speaker 1>do with your parents. Once your dealt is hand, it's

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>up to you to play the hand to the best

0:01:09.480 --> 0:01:13.160
<v Speaker 1>of your ability. Some people are dealt four aces and

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>still fuck it up. Some people are dealt bad hands,

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>like myself, and have managed to figure a way to

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 1>survive in the game. It doesn't matter what hand you've

0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.120
<v Speaker 1>been dealt. If you're a player, you're going to figure

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.200
<v Speaker 1>the best way to play those cards so you can

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>win the game. And nobody can control that deck because

0:01:35.240 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>at birth, when you're coming out, you don't know where

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you're coming out. As far as this deal, all I

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:44.880
<v Speaker 1>can say is that if you want to believe in yourself,

0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.200
<v Speaker 1>look at all the players who've been dealt bad hands

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.760
<v Speaker 1>that have managed to come out successful and on top.

0:01:52.120 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>One time I was doing research, and you know, I'm

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>an orphan, and I realize that a great percentage of

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>the billionaires in the world were orphans. Maybe that made

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>them realize that there was no one to fall back on.

0:02:05.560 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the things that it motivated my hustle.

0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>But I always said, you know, for me being black

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the mud, the game is going to

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>be extra hard. But I said, I'm that much of

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>a better player than everybody, so that kind of leveled

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 1>the field. This has been another ice code fact from

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>me iced team. Listening again tomorrow when I drop some

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:37.880
<v Speaker 1>wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart,

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>and stay knowing that in the game of Life. No

0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:46.200
