WEBVTT - Try to Fail

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:03.239
<v Speaker 1>I see Daily Game as a production of I Heart Radio.

0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>What's Up? As I see you're listening to The Daily Game,

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>that I found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today, I have a quote from the sixth

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>President of the United States, John Quincy Adams. Adams was

0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:28.400
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer, senator, and congressman, and son of the second

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.520
<v Speaker 1>President of the United States, so you know, he was

0:00:31.560 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>around a lot of games. This quote is, try and fail,

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:44.680
<v Speaker 1>but don't fail to try. You gotta be willing to fail.

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:48.880
<v Speaker 1>To play the game of life, you know, you gotta

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>be willing to fail. And I found out the cats

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>that were more comfortable with failing were the better players.

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>I used to hang around guys and I you know,

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:02.080
<v Speaker 1>when I started, I was nervous about talking to women.

0:01:02.480 --> 0:01:05.720
<v Speaker 1>I was worried. I was around some cats that I

0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>didn't even think where it flies me. But they had

0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>no problem walking up and talking to women, And eventually

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.200
<v Speaker 1>they caught some very beautiful women. They were able to

0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.800
<v Speaker 1>catch because they didn't care if a girl said nah,

0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:20.360
<v Speaker 1>They just brushed that off. Okay, all right, baby, I'm

0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 1>not for you, and they kept it moving me. I'm

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>not even walking up to no girls, so I'm losing everything.

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.440
<v Speaker 1>Where they say, Gretzky, you're guaranteed to miss a pent

0:01:31.480 --> 0:01:33.919
<v Speaker 1>of the shots you don't take. So at some point

0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I learned that, Hey, if you got shot down, it

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. Stay in the game, and you have to

0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:44.920
<v Speaker 1>learn the failure. It's never an l it's always a lesson.

0:01:45.600 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>Every time you fail, you might have to tighten up

0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:51.480
<v Speaker 1>your approach, or maybe the person you're failing with will

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:54.680
<v Speaker 1>give you some notes. Hey, that approach was wrong. You

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>should have had your paperwork together. The girl might say,

0:01:57.760 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 1>damn you know, I don't like your shoes, or damn

0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:02.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I wish you know, maybe he didn't have

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>on the right cologne. They're gonna help you get pointers

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>on those failures. So by the time you get your

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:12.600
<v Speaker 1>game tight, you've been shot down so many times you've learned.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll give you a good example. We're doing a medical

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:19.640
<v Speaker 1>marijuana thing in um Jersey and we went to the

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>board to get approved. We actually got our license, but

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>what happened was the day we went we didn't get

0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>to go to speak because they ran out of time.

0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>But we watched a lot of people go up there

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:36.880
<v Speaker 1>and fail. Well what did we do? We took notes

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:40.200
<v Speaker 1>on where they failed. So when we got to come

0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.160
<v Speaker 1>back the second day because they postponed our ship, our

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.519
<v Speaker 1>ship was that much more tight because we were able

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to watch the failures and not make them ourselves. So

0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 1>we learned from some of these other people that weren't prepared.

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, we were pissed a little bit. Damn man,

0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>we were there all day. We didn't get to go

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>up there and pitch our case, but was to our advantage.

0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta understand. If that failure happens, you gotta

0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:10.440
<v Speaker 1>understand and learn from that game. But that fear of failing,

0:03:11.440 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>nothing in life is ever gonna come to you. If

0:03:13.520 --> 0:03:15.760
<v Speaker 1>you have a fear of failing, you just have to

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:19.400
<v Speaker 1>be willing and always shoot your best shot, try your best.

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 1>If you're going to get that job, try your best.

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:25.399
<v Speaker 1>But you're gonna learn something from that. I can't emphasize

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:29.080
<v Speaker 1>how much this is important in life. To just get

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:33.000
<v Speaker 1>out there and take your shot, and keep taking that

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>shot every time. You're gonna learn something, and you're gonna

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>get sharper and sharper and sharper, and by the time

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>you get to where you need to be, you're gonna

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>be ready. John Quincy Adam said, try and fail, but

0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>don't fail to try, and don't sit back and talk

0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it about people that are out there trying. This has

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>been another ice cold fact from me ice tea. Don't

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>miss tomorrow's Daily Game till then, stay safe, stay smart,

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.600

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>trying is. I see Daily Game as a production of
