Speaker 1: I sees Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up Besides Tea? You're listening to the Daily Game, the
Speaker 1: compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that
Speaker 1: I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote because from someone I really respect, my man,
Speaker 1: Chuck d I'm very fortunate to be close friends with Chuck.
Speaker 1: Public Enemy was one of the most influential groups during
Speaker 1: my era hip hop. I was fortunate to be able
Speaker 1: to tour with them many many times going around the world.
Speaker 1: Chuck has a great quote about me where he says,
Speaker 1: iced Tea is the only person that does things that
Speaker 1: totally jeopardizes his career to stay awake. So Chuck knows
Speaker 1: me better than anybody. We are very very close as
Speaker 1: brothers that try to help change the world. Spread the
Speaker 1: knowledge and anything he says, please pay attention to it.
Speaker 1: Chuck says, being positive it's like going up a mountain.
Speaker 1: Being negative, it's like sliding down a hill. A lot
Speaker 1: of times people want to take the easy way out
Speaker 1: because it's basically what they've understood throughout their entire lies.
Speaker 1: Notice if you're giving up because it's what you know
Speaker 1: how to do. Success is harder because it's worth it.
Speaker 1: You see a lot of times in life we start
Speaker 1: taking the easy way out. You start hanging around people
Speaker 1: that are always into shortcuts. Oh, this is an easier way.
Speaker 1: This is an easier way. But success requires work and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be harder. So you gotta be willing to
Speaker 1: go up that hill or climb up that mountain to
Speaker 1: get there. There are no shortcuts. So if you're familiar
Speaker 1: with taking shortcuts, success might be something that is foreign
Speaker 1: to you because you've never really put in the work.
Speaker 1: When you start to quit, think is this what I'm
Speaker 1: used to doing? Is this something I'm really used to doing.
Speaker 1: I'm used to quitting, and maybe it's time to restructure
Speaker 1: your life so you start taking the hard route. One
Speaker 1: thing I do in my life is always I say
Speaker 1: in my brain, I say, stop being lazy. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm supposed to do my fifty hundred push ups a
Speaker 1: day and I look at the floor and I'm like, nah,
Speaker 1: But I say, stop being lazy. If you have something
Speaker 1: that you can trigger in your head that keeps letting
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta stop taking the easy way out.
Speaker 1: You're gonna move closer and closer to success, and you'll
Speaker 1: be proud of it because it's worth it. The key
Speaker 1: is you have to be willing to stay in the game.
Speaker 1: And if your life has always been about quitting, then
Speaker 1: you can't get mad. You know, when the success isn't
Speaker 1: shown to you. You have to learn how not to
Speaker 1: quit and how to climb that mountain. This has been
Speaker 1: another Ice Cole fact from me Ice Tea. Listening again
Speaker 1: tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then,
Speaker 1: stay safe, stay smart, and stay making choices that level
