Speaker 1: I see Daily Game as a production of I Heart Radio.
Speaker 1: What's Up? As I see you're listening to The Daily Game,
Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today, I have a quote from the sixth
Speaker 1: President of the United States, John Quincy Adams. Adams was
Speaker 1: a lawyer, senator, and congressman, and son of the second
Speaker 1: President of the United States, so you know, he was
Speaker 1: around a lot of games. This quote is, try and fail,
Speaker 1: but don't fail to try. You gotta be willing to fail.
Speaker 1: To play the game of life, you know, you gotta
Speaker 1: be willing to fail. And I found out the cats
Speaker 1: that were more comfortable with failing were the better players.
Speaker 1: I used to hang around guys and I you know,
Speaker 1: when I started, I was nervous about talking to women.
Speaker 1: I was worried. I was around some cats that I
Speaker 1: didn't even think where it flies me. But they had
Speaker 1: no problem walking up and talking to women, And eventually
Speaker 1: they caught some very beautiful women. They were able to
Speaker 1: catch because they didn't care if a girl said nah,
Speaker 1: They just brushed that off. Okay, all right, baby, I'm
Speaker 1: not for you, and they kept it moving me. I'm
Speaker 1: not even walking up to no girls, so I'm losing everything.
Speaker 1: Where they say, Gretzky, you're guaranteed to miss a pent
Speaker 1: of the shots you don't take. So at some point
Speaker 1: I learned that, Hey, if you got shot down, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Stay in the game, and you have to
Speaker 1: learn the failure. It's never an l it's always a lesson.
Speaker 1: Every time you fail, you might have to tighten up
Speaker 1: your approach, or maybe the person you're failing with will
Speaker 1: give you some notes. Hey, that approach was wrong. You
Speaker 1: should have had your paperwork together. The girl might say,
Speaker 1: damn you know, I don't like your shoes, or damn
Speaker 1: you know, I wish you know, maybe he didn't have
Speaker 1: on the right cologne. They're gonna help you get pointers
Speaker 1: on those failures. So by the time you get your
Speaker 1: game tight, you've been shot down so many times you've learned.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a good example. We're doing a medical
Speaker 1: marijuana thing in um Jersey and we went to the
Speaker 1: board to get approved. We actually got our license, but
Speaker 1: what happened was the day we went we didn't get
Speaker 1: to go to speak because they ran out of time.
Speaker 1: But we watched a lot of people go up there
Speaker 1: and fail. Well what did we do? We took notes
Speaker 1: on where they failed. So when we got to come
Speaker 1: back the second day because they postponed our ship, our
Speaker 1: ship was that much more tight because we were able
Speaker 1: to watch the failures and not make them ourselves. So
Speaker 1: we learned from some of these other people that weren't prepared.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we were pissed a little bit. Damn man,
Speaker 1: we were there all day. We didn't get to go
Speaker 1: up there and pitch our case, but was to our advantage.
Speaker 1: So you gotta understand. If that failure happens, you gotta
Speaker 1: understand and learn from that game. But that fear of failing,
Speaker 1: nothing in life is ever gonna come to you. If
Speaker 1: you have a fear of failing, you just have to
Speaker 1: be willing and always shoot your best shot, try your best.
Speaker 1: If you're going to get that job, try your best.
Speaker 1: But you're gonna learn something from that. I can't emphasize
Speaker 1: how much this is important in life. To just get
Speaker 1: out there and take your shot, and keep taking that
Speaker 1: shot every time. You're gonna learn something, and you're gonna
Speaker 1: get sharper and sharper and sharper, and by the time
Speaker 1: you get to where you need to be, you're gonna
Speaker 1: be ready. John Quincy Adam said, try and fail, but
Speaker 1: don't fail to try, and don't sit back and talk
Speaker 1: it about people that are out there trying. This has
Speaker 1: been another ice cold fact from me ice tea. Don't
Speaker 1: miss tomorrow's Daily Game till then, stay safe, stay smart,
Speaker 1: and stay knowing that failure isn't the enemy lack of
Speaker 1: trying is. I see Daily Game as a production of
