Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up be SiZ Team. You're listening to The Daily Game,
Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from a man who wore
Speaker 1: many hats, Sir Walter Scott. He was a writer, poet, advocate,
Speaker 1: even a judge. So you think this guy had a
Speaker 1: lot of jobs, kind of like me. Hey, when you
Speaker 1: got the wisdom, you're always on that hustle. Here's his
Speaker 1: quote for success. Attitude is equally important as ability. Attitude
Speaker 1: is everything. Okay, ability is good. You can have the
Speaker 1: ability to do the job. But if you got the
Speaker 1: wrong attitude, I'm not fucking with you, and most people
Speaker 1: aren't fucking with you. I've got musicians I'm hooking up
Speaker 1: with other producers. They already know they got the ability,
Speaker 1: can they saying? Yeah? What are they like? That's the question.
Speaker 1: If I'm going to bring this person into my world,
Speaker 1: what are they like? I just have an artist named
Speaker 1: Zaim I'm hooking him up with a big producer right now.
Speaker 1: First question, what's he like? I said? He'll sleep on
Speaker 1: the floor of the studio. Oh, that's dope. I'm a
Speaker 1: buying a plane ticket. Send him out. That's your attitude. Oh,
Speaker 1: he thinks he's a star, and you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: put him in a four star hotel. This motherfucker ain't
Speaker 1: even made a record yet and he thinks he's a star.
Speaker 1: And tell him to stay, you know, stay on that job.
Speaker 1: He's working, you understand, But you have the right attitude.
Speaker 1: People want to help you. I used to always say,
Speaker 1: let's do it idea. I'm in a restaurant and I
Speaker 1: need to hire somebody. I'm with my boys, and this
Speaker 1: one guy comes over to me and says, hey, ice man,
Speaker 1: I want to work for you. Uh, he's taking his shot.
Speaker 1: I shouldn't be here. I'm smarter than that, I'm bigger
Speaker 1: than that. I'm a genius. I should be on you know,
Speaker 1: I want to get down with you guys. Okay, he's
Speaker 1: making an effort, but he's got this attitude that he's
Speaker 1: bigger than this. It's another guy. I look over in
Speaker 1: the restaurant. He's down there scrubbing the floor with a toothbrush.
Speaker 1: He's working, he's getting his work on Okay. I bump
Speaker 1: into him at the bathroom. I'm like, man, I see
Speaker 1: you grind, he says. Man, Hey, man, I'm just trying
Speaker 1: to do what I gotta do. Man, I'm trying to
Speaker 1: take care of my family. You know, I like the
Speaker 1: music business, but I ain't never had a break. Which
Speaker 1: guy am I going to give a break to? The
Speaker 1: one that's on his knees scrubbing with the toothbrush, the
Speaker 1: guy that's working, not the guy whose attitude says he
Speaker 1: should be on my level, the guy who's humble, and
Speaker 1: the guy who's really busting his ass. Mama say, well,
Speaker 1: if this is his attitude here at this restaurant, maybe
Speaker 1: he'll bring that attitude to the workplace with me. Walter
Speaker 1: Scott says for success, attitude is equally as important as ability.
Speaker 1: I'll say it's more important because if you got the
Speaker 1: right attitude, I might let you learn. I might bring
Speaker 1: you into the game and help you learn. A learner's
Speaker 1: attitude is better than somebody thinks they know it all,
Speaker 1: So adjust your attitude about this shit. People really want
Speaker 1: to help humble people. They not into helping people that
Speaker 1: think they know it all. If you know it all
Speaker 1: and why you ain't there. That's how we look at it.
Speaker 1: If you know it all, then what the fuck you
Speaker 1: need me for? This has been another ice cold fact
Speaker 1: from me Iced team. Listening again tomorrow when I drop
Speaker 1: some wisdom on your ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart,
Speaker 1: and stay knowing. Your attitude predicts your future just as
Speaker 1: much as your ability. Icey's Daily Game. It is a
