1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,239 Speaker 1: I see Daily Game as a production of I Heart Radio. 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: What's Up? As I see you're listening to The Daily Game, 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,160 Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped me through the game 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: of life. Today, I have a quote from the sixth 6 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 1: President of the United States, John Quincy Adams. Adams was 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: a lawyer, senator, and congressman, and son of the second 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: President of the United States, so you know, he was 9 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: around a lot of games. This quote is, try and fail, 10 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: but don't fail to try. You gotta be willing to fail. 11 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,880 Speaker 1: To play the game of life, you know, you gotta 12 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,159 Speaker 1: be willing to fail. And I found out the cats 13 00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 1: that were more comfortable with failing were the better players. 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 1: I used to hang around guys and I you know, 15 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: when I started, I was nervous about talking to women. 16 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: I was worried. I was around some cats that I 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: didn't even think where it flies me. But they had 18 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: no problem walking up and talking to women, And eventually 19 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,200 Speaker 1: they caught some very beautiful women. They were able to 20 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: catch because they didn't care if a girl said nah, 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: They just brushed that off. Okay, all right, baby, I'm 22 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: not for you, and they kept it moving me. I'm 23 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: not even walking up to no girls, so I'm losing everything. 24 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: Where they say, Gretzky, you're guaranteed to miss a pent 25 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,919 Speaker 1: of the shots you don't take. So at some point 26 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: I learned that, Hey, if you got shot down, it 27 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Stay in the game, and you have to 28 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: learn the failure. It's never an l it's always a lesson. 29 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 1: Every time you fail, you might have to tighten up 30 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: your approach, or maybe the person you're failing with will 31 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: give you some notes. Hey, that approach was wrong. You 32 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: should have had your paperwork together. The girl might say, 33 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: damn you know, I don't like your shoes, or damn 34 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: you know, I wish you know, maybe he didn't have 35 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: on the right cologne. They're gonna help you get pointers 36 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 1: on those failures. So by the time you get your 37 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: game tight, you've been shot down so many times you've learned. 38 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: I'll give you a good example. We're doing a medical 39 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: marijuana thing in um Jersey and we went to the 40 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: board to get approved. We actually got our license, but 41 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: what happened was the day we went we didn't get 42 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: to go to speak because they ran out of time. 43 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: But we watched a lot of people go up there 44 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: and fail. Well what did we do? We took notes 45 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: on where they failed. So when we got to come 46 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: back the second day because they postponed our ship, our 47 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: ship was that much more tight because we were able 48 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: to watch the failures and not make them ourselves. So 49 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 1: we learned from some of these other people that weren't prepared. 50 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: So yeah, we were pissed a little bit. Damn man, 51 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: we were there all day. We didn't get to go 52 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: up there and pitch our case, but was to our advantage. 53 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: So you gotta understand. If that failure happens, you gotta 54 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: understand and learn from that game. But that fear of failing, 55 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: nothing in life is ever gonna come to you. If 56 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: you have a fear of failing, you just have to 57 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: be willing and always shoot your best shot, try your best. 58 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: If you're going to get that job, try your best. 59 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 1: But you're gonna learn something from that. I can't emphasize 60 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: how much this is important in life. To just get 61 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: out there and take your shot, and keep taking that 62 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: shot every time. You're gonna learn something, and you're gonna 63 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: get sharper and sharper and sharper, and by the time 64 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: you get to where you need to be, you're gonna 65 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: be ready. John Quincy Adam said, try and fail, but 66 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: don't fail to try, and don't sit back and talk 67 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 1: it about people that are out there trying. This has 68 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: been another ice cold fact from me ice tea.
