1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: up to SiZ team. You're listening to The Daily Game,

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped me through the game

5
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:22,320
Speaker 1: of life. We could thank the great Chinese philosopher Confusius

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: for this gem. Better a diamond with a flaw than

7
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: a pebble without. But I think he's really saying it's

8
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: better to be great and have flaws just to be

9
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: on the sideline. There's thousands of pebbles. Nothing is really precious.

10
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: It's better to be a diamond with imperfections, you know,

11
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: so you want to work your way to where you

12
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: are precious, and then even if you do have imperfections,

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You're still a diamond than just to

14
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: be people on the sidelines that have not perfected themselves

15
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: in any way. I like relaying a lot of things

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: to sports. It's like, it's better to be the last

17
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,199
Speaker 1: guy in the bench of a protea and somebody can't

18
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: even make it to the pros. You know, he might

19
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 1: not be the star, but he's still there. He's a diamond.

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: He might not have the imperfections. I think Confucius is

21
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: really just trying to say, stand out and be the

22
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: best you can be, even if you do have flaws.

23
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: That's still much better than a piece of shit on

24
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: the side of the road talking shit. That's ICE's interpretation

25
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: of Confucius. It's better to be a diamond with a

26
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: flaw than a pebble without. This has been another Ice

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: Cold fact from me Iced team. Listening again tomorrow when

28
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: I drop some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe,

29
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: stay smart, say knowing that being unique and special it's

30
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 1: way better than be an average. Icey's Daily Game is
