WEBVTT - The Struggle

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>I sees Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.640 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Up besides tea? You're listening to The Daily Game, the

0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:12.440
<v Speaker 1>compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that

0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>Today's quote is something I always keep in mind. More

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>often than not, you can tell people who've truly went

0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>through the struggle by how they treat people that are

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:34.160
<v Speaker 1>currently going through the struggle. He said that again, more

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>often than not, you can tell people who truly went

0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>through the struggle about how they treat people who are

0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:46.000
<v Speaker 1>currently going through the struggle. One of the things about

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.559
<v Speaker 1>me people say, well, Ice, who can you get along with?

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I go, I can get along with people who have soul.

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>To me, soul is you've been through something. Some people

0:00:56.680 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>are born with a silver spoon. They ain't been through shit.

0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't mean they can't care, but some of them don't

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>because they never had to struggle. Some people that have

0:01:06.000 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>never had to struggle are some of the greatest and

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>biggest philanthropists in the world because they feel maybe a

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>guilt of their success and the things that they've gotten

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:22.760
<v Speaker 1>for free. But a lot of people that have never

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>been through it don't have any compassion for it, and

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>they talked down on it. You know, when I see

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody sitting on the street homeless, I know how close

0:01:34.400 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I came to being in that position. You know, I

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>never slept on the street, but I definitely slept in

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 1>my car, and I slept over people's houses, and I

0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>slept in motels, you know, when I didn't have a

0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>permanent residence, and I struggle. So I can never look

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>at anybody down because that same person I see on

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>the curve could be my boss in ten years. This

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>is how the game is. Some people start below you,

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:04.280
<v Speaker 1>end up above you, and vice versa. You might have

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>been below somebody, now you're above them. The deck of

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 1>cards is continuously shovel But I can look at somebody

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and how they treat other people and tell if they've

0:02:15.160 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>been there. I think Muhammad Ali said, I don't care

0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.839
<v Speaker 1>how you treat the manager at the restaurant. I'm more

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 1>concerned with how you treat the waiter. That's the test

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:29.080
<v Speaker 1>of your true character. So watch your friends and watch

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>how they treat people who they may think are below them,

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>and if they shit on those people, they are low, disrespectful,

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>no character individuals, you know, and the fuck up thing

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:45.840
<v Speaker 1>is a lot of people this does. This is not

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a blanket statement because a lot of people who were

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 1>fucked up get in a better position and then still

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>shit on people that were just like them a few

0:02:55.560 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>years ago. And that's asshole character too. So you know,

0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>watch how people treat people. It's a great judge of

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>their personal character. This has been another Ice Cole fact

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>from me ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.440
<v Speaker 1>some wisdom on your ass Till then, stay safe, stay smart,

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:28.800
