Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up,
Speaker 1: Size Tea? You're listening to The Daily Game, the compilation
Speaker 1: of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I
Speaker 1: found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 1: Today's quote is from Will Rogers, a performer and writer
Speaker 1: known for his political wit. When he died, he was
Speaker 1: one of the highest paid stars in Hollywood. This sounds
Speaker 1: like something I said Will Rogers from back in the day.
Speaker 1: Will said, too many people spend money they earn to
Speaker 1: buy things they don't want to impress people they don't like.
Speaker 1: I one time was working at an art gallery. Well
Speaker 1: actually my girlfriend was working at an art gallery and
Speaker 1: I was doing shows for them, and the guy said,
Speaker 1: art is something that rich people buy to prove to
Speaker 1: other people that they know something that they don't know.
Speaker 1: So you know, you got this Rembrandt on the wall,
Speaker 1: and somebody walks in and you explain it to them
Speaker 1: and they go, Wow, you knew something I didn't know,
Speaker 1: and it's so valuable. He said. It's also some way
Speaker 1: of hanging your money on the wall to prove you
Speaker 1: don't need it. So you know, if I walk into
Speaker 1: your house and you have a million dollar painting hanging
Speaker 1: on the wall. What you're saying is, that's a million
Speaker 1: dollars I don't need. It's a flex Okay. Now, people
Speaker 1: take the money they earn and buy things they don't want.
Speaker 1: I don't know about that. Well, they maybe they think
Speaker 1: they want it, but they're buying it to impress people
Speaker 1: that they don't know. That's deep. I think the reason
Speaker 1: they want it is to impress people they don't know.
Speaker 1: So it's things they're buying, things they don't really want,
Speaker 1: and the reason they're buying buying it is to impress
Speaker 1: people that they don't know or even like deep shit
Speaker 1: Will Rogers, deep deep deep stuff. But I guess that
Speaker 1: goes for designer clothes and things like that. You know,
Speaker 1: people that are buying name brand bags and stuff, they're
Speaker 1: buying it because they are using it to impress other people,
Speaker 1: but it may not actually be something they really desire
Speaker 1: or they like. Yeah, that's a fucked up life. I know,
Speaker 1: the money I earn, I buy things I want. Now
Speaker 1: I'm trying to ask myself why do I want them? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he got me in my own head with that one.
Speaker 1: That was a good one. But I think the key
Speaker 1: is money you earn should be spent on things that
Speaker 1: you truly want and desire. And hey, maybe you do
Speaker 1: like Gucci bags, maybe you like that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: I know I like fly shit, But why am I
Speaker 1: doing it? Who am I trying to impress? Or am
Speaker 1: I trying to impress anybody? I think I'm past that stage.
Speaker 1: I think right now everything I buy is shit. I
Speaker 1: like Bill got me and my own motherfucking head on
Speaker 1: that one. But listen, whatever lifestyle you can afford, make
Speaker 1: sure you're doing it for you and not just to
Speaker 1: impress other people. I think that's the key. I think
Speaker 1: that's what he's really saying, and that's the way I'm
Speaker 1: a rock out with. This makes you. You're taking your
Speaker 1: hard earned money and doing it for you, not for
Speaker 1: anybody else's, you know, not trying to make anybody else
Speaker 1: feel any kind of way. Do it because you want
Speaker 1: to do it. This has been another ice cold fact
Speaker 1: from me iced tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop
Speaker 1: some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart,
Speaker 1: and stay knowing that spending money on things that don't
Speaker 1: make you happy is a waste Icey's Daily Gaming. It's
