0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>Up be 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 helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:20.720
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes from a man who wore

0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:24.960
<v Speaker 1>many hats, Sir Walter Scott. He was a writer, poet, advocate,

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>even a judge. So you think this guy had a

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:29.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of jobs, kind of like me. Hey, when you

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:33.680
<v Speaker 1>got the wisdom, you're always on that hustle. Here's his

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:43.480
<v Speaker 1>quote for success. Attitude is equally important as ability. Attitude

0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 1>is everything. Okay, ability is good. You can have the

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:49.879
<v Speaker 1>ability to do the job. But if you got the

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:54.600
<v Speaker 1>wrong attitude, I'm not fucking with you, and most people

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:58.680
<v Speaker 1>aren't fucking with you. I've got musicians I'm hooking up

0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:01.720
<v Speaker 1>with other producers. They already know they got the ability,

0:01:01.840 --> 0:01:05.760
<v Speaker 1>can they saying? Yeah? What are they like? That's the question.

0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 1>If I'm going to bring this person into my world,

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.039
<v Speaker 1>what are they like? I just have an artist named

0:01:11.120 --> 0:01:14.039
<v Speaker 1>Zaim I'm hooking him up with a big producer right now.

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>First question, what's he like? I said? He'll sleep on

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the floor of the studio. Oh, that's dope. I'm a

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 1>buying a plane ticket. Send him out. That's your attitude. Oh,

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 1>he thinks he's a star, and you're gonna have to

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.760
<v Speaker 1>put him in a four star hotel. This motherfucker ain't

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>even made a record yet and he thinks he's a star.

0:01:32.680 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>And tell him to stay, you know, stay on that job.

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>He's working, you understand, But you have the right attitude.

0:01:39.440 --> 0:01:41.559
<v Speaker 1>People want to help you. I used to always say,

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>let's do it idea. I'm in a restaurant and I

0:01:45.520 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>need to hire somebody. I'm with my boys, and this

0:01:48.200 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>one guy comes over to me and says, hey, ice man,

0:01:50.800 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>I want to work for you. Uh, he's taking his shot.

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:57.440
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't be here. I'm smarter than that, I'm bigger

0:01:57.480 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>than that. I'm a genius. I should be on you know,

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I want to get down with you guys. Okay, he's

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.480
<v Speaker 1>making an effort, but he's got this attitude that he's

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>bigger than this. It's another guy. I look over in

0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the restaurant. He's down there scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush.

0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:16.840
<v Speaker 1>He's working, he's getting his work on Okay. I bump

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>into him at the bathroom. I'm like, man, I see

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 1>you grind, he says. Man, Hey, man, I'm just trying

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>to do what I gotta do. Man, I'm trying to

0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>take care of my family. You know, I like the

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>music business, but I ain't never had a break. Which

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>guy am I going to give a break to? The

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.799
<v Speaker 1>one that's on his knees scrubbing with the toothbrush, the

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 1>guy that's working, not the guy whose attitude says he

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>should be on my level, the guy who's humble, and

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the guy who's really busting his ass. Mama say, well,

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 1>if this is his attitude here at this restaurant, maybe

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 1>he'll bring that attitude to the workplace with me. Walter

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>Scott says for success, attitude is equally as important as ability.

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.239
<v Speaker 1>I'll say it's more important because if you got the

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>right attitude, I might let you learn. I might bring

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>you into the game and help you learn. A learner's

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>attitude is better than somebody thinks they know it all,

0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>So adjust your attitude about this shit. People really want

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>to help humble people. They not into helping people that

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>think they know it all. If you know it all

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and why you ain't there. That's how we look at it.

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>If you know it all, then what the fuck you

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>need me for? This has been another ice cold fact

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.640
<v Speaker 1>from me Iced team. Listening again tomorrow when I drop

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:38.320
<v Speaker 1>some wisdom on your ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart,

0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and stay knowing. Your attitude predicts your future just as

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:48.400
