WEBVTT - Flawed Diamond

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>up to SiZ team. You're listening to The Daily Game,

0:00:08.160 --> 0:00:12.000
<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 found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 1>of life. We could thank the great Chinese philosopher Confusius

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>for this gem. Better a diamond with a flaw than

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:34.040
<v Speaker 1>a pebble without. But I think he's really saying it's

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>better to be great and have flaws just to be

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>on the sideline. There's thousands of pebbles. Nothing is really precious.

0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:46.800
<v Speaker 1>It's better to be a diamond with imperfections, you know,

0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.879
<v Speaker 1>so you want to work your way to where you

0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>are precious, and then even if you do have imperfections,

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:55.480
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't matter. You're still a diamond than just to

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>be people on the sidelines that have not perfected themselves

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>in any way. I like relaying a lot of things

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 1>to sports. It's like, it's better to be the last

0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:09.199
<v Speaker 1>guy in the bench of a protea and somebody can't

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>even make it to the pros. You know, he might

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>not be the star, but he's still there. He's a diamond.

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.560
<v Speaker 1>He might not have the imperfections. I think Confucius is

0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.480
<v Speaker 1>really just trying to say, stand out and be the

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.240
<v Speaker 1>best you can be, even if you do have flaws.

0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 1>That's still much better than a piece of shit on

0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the side of the road talking shit. That's ICE's interpretation

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>of Confucius. It's better to be a diamond with a

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 1>flaw than a pebble without. This has been another Ice

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Cold fact from me Iced team. Listening again tomorrow when

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>I drop some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe,

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:56.080
<v Speaker 1>stay smart, say knowing that being unique and special it's

0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>way better than be an average. Icey's Daily Game is
