You're listening to the Daily Game, the 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that 4 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:16,760 Speaker 1: I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,680 Speaker 1: Today's quote because from someone I really respect, my man, 6 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 1: Chuck d I'm very fortunate to be close friends with Chuck. 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 1: Public Enemy was one of the most influential groups during 8 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,200 Speaker 1: my era hip hop. I was fortunate to be able 9 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 1: to tour with them many many times going around the world. 10 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: Chuck has a great quote about me where he says, 11 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: iced Tea is the only person that does things that 12 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: totally jeopardizes his career to stay awake. So Chuck knows 13 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: me better than anybody. We are very very close as 14 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: brothers that try to help change the world. Spread the 15 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: knowledge and anything he says, please pay attention to it. 16 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: Chuck says, being positive it's like going up a mountain. 17 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: Being negative, it's like sliding down a hill. A lot 18 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 1: of times people want to take the easy way out 19 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: because it's basically what they've understood throughout their entire lies. 20 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 1: Notice if you're giving up because it's what you know 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 1: how to do. Success is harder because it's worth it. 22 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: You see a lot of times in life we start 23 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: taking the easy way out. You start hanging around people 24 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: that are always into shortcuts. Oh, this is an easier way. 25 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: This is an easier way. But success requires work and 26 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: it's gonna be harder. So you gotta be willing to 27 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: go up that hill or climb up that mountain to 28 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: get there. There are no shortcuts. So if you're familiar 29 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: with taking shortcuts, success might be something that is foreign 30 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: to you because you've never really put in the work. 31 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: When you start to quit, think is this what I'm 32 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: used to doing? Is this something I'm really used to doing. 33 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: I'm used to quitting, and maybe it's time to restructure 34 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: your life so you start taking the hard route. One 35 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: thing I do in my life is always I say 36 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 1: in my brain, I say, stop being lazy. You know, 37 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,880 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to do my fifty hundred push ups a 38 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: day and I look at the floor and I'm like, nah, 39 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: But I say, stop being lazy.

The key 44 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: is you have to be willing to stay in the game. 45 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: And if your life has always been about quitting, then 46 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: you can't get mad. You know, when the success isn't 47 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 1: shown to you. You have to learn how not to 48 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:12,800 Speaker 1: quit and how to climb that mountain.
