Speaker 1: I see Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: up beside See you're listening to the Daily Game, the
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
Speaker 1: I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote is something I keep in mind to stay
Speaker 1: focused and motivated. A street hustler and a player can thrive.
Speaker 1: You just have to change the target from negative to
Speaker 1: positive and resume the grind. There's really not much difference
Speaker 1: from somebody on the corner street hustling to a CEO
Speaker 1: of a fortune five hundred company. You just have to
Speaker 1: change the environment and the hustle. Look at people like Puffy,
Speaker 1: look at people like jay Z fifty cent, myself. We
Speaker 1: all came out of the street. We were doing negative things.
Speaker 1: But once we change the target to something that was positive,
Speaker 1: we were able to thrive. It's because of a work ethic.
Speaker 1: You understand about not getting sleep, about busting your ass,
Speaker 1: about multitasking, about having an agenda and finishing the challenge
Speaker 1: or whatever you've set in front of you. We know
Speaker 1: how to do that, and that's what I said. A
Speaker 1: lot of cats I know from the streets that I've
Speaker 1: gave a chance to work with me legitimately have thrived,
Speaker 1: have become extremely successful because they know how to work.
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't understand what it takes. I
Speaker 1: have people every day that they're telling me, man, man,
Speaker 1: you just don't stop. Where do you get the energy?
Speaker 1: It's either in you or it's not. I always compare
Speaker 1: it to be in an athlete. Some people just have
Speaker 1: the athletic ability to push it to that limit. Others don't.
Speaker 1: And if you don't have it, you just have to
Speaker 1: accept the situation, which is nobody gets it easy. Like Flavor,
Speaker 1: Flav used to say, if you want an ordinary life,
Speaker 1: you have to do ordinary things. If you want an
Speaker 1: extraordinary life, you have to do extraordinary things. You have
Speaker 1: to do more than the normal person. I remember when
Speaker 1: I was in the military and I was boxing. When
Speaker 1: I would be resting, they would tell me, your opponent
Speaker 1: is training right now. Your opponent is training to get
Speaker 1: me up out of the bed and get me in
Speaker 1: the gym. So, being from the streets or whatever walk
Speaker 1: of life you came from, if you understand the work ethic,
Speaker 1: it can translate into being a business person, a business owner,
Speaker 1: whatever you want to be, but you have to be
Speaker 1: willing to put in that work. There's no way around you.
Speaker 1: This has been another Ice Cole fact from me Ice Tea.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I dropped some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, stay focused, and
Speaker 1: on the goal of your game. I Sees Daily Games
