Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's
Speaker 1: Up is is ice Tea? You're listening to The Daily Game,
Speaker 1: a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years
Speaker 1: that I found inspiring and helped me through the game
Speaker 1: of life. We're celebrating the Great Martin Luther King Junior today,
Speaker 1: a man with so many gems to share with all
Speaker 1: of us.
Speaker 2: Happy MLK Day.
Speaker 1: Here's a quote from President Abraham Lincoln. I you cannot
Speaker 1: escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. This
Speaker 1: is a real one, because procrastinating and putting things off
Speaker 1: don't make things go away. This is something I've been
Speaker 1: trying to teach my son. My son likes to put
Speaker 1: off things, put off things, and then they just build
Speaker 1: up and they get worse, and they get worse, and
Speaker 1: they get worse, and then I get the phone, call Dad, Dad,
Speaker 1: I'm in this bad situation. This is something that has
Speaker 1: been a cue cumulating over six months. Maybe because he
Speaker 1: knows he can call me and I'll try to help
Speaker 1: him out. He doesn't mind allowing this to accumulate. But
Speaker 1: for other people, putting off things does not help the situation.
Speaker 1: I'm guilty of it. We are all guilty of it.
Speaker 1: Sometimes I let my personal stuff load up. Warren Buffett said,
Speaker 1: business is easy. It's the personal things that are hard.
Speaker 1: So a lot of times when I'm doing business and
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work week, I cannot deal with personal things
Speaker 1: because personal things you care and you have to deal
Speaker 1: with someone's emotions and their feelings and what they want
Speaker 1: to talk about. So sometimes I'll let them load up,
Speaker 1: and I'll say Sunday, I'm gonna handle all these personal calls.
Speaker 1: On Sunday. I'm gonna sit back. I'm gonna give me
Speaker 1: a glass of kool aid. I don't drink liquor. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get that. I get out my check book because
Speaker 1: I know a lot of these problems deal with money,
Speaker 1: and I will address all these motherfuckers on Sunday. It's
Speaker 1: definitely hard to act and deal with people's personal stuff
Speaker 1: and personal things.
Speaker 2: They don't want a quick answer. They want to talk.
Speaker 1: Like Coco will tell me, if I get on the
Speaker 1: phone with my dad, it's going to be two hours,
Speaker 1: you know, And I can't do that right now. I
Speaker 1: got to get in the right space so that you're
Speaker 1: not short with people. But you cannot escape a responsibility,
Speaker 1: a responsibility at some point you're going to have to
Speaker 1: deal with it. So Abraham Lincoln said, we cannot escape
Speaker 1: the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today, which basically
Speaker 1: means handle your responsibilities as soon as possible.
Speaker 2: Well, I think, let me dig in deeper. I guess.
Speaker 1: Also what he's saying is problems that are happening with
Speaker 1: the country. He was a president, was saying that these
Speaker 1: things are gonna come, so we need to address them
Speaker 1: now before they come. As a president, you have to
Speaker 1: think down the road. You have to say, think, well, look,
Speaker 1: you know the countries and shambles. We have to address
Speaker 1: these problems of tomorrow today. I can see him coming.
Speaker 1: I'm the fucking president. Okay, I just had to get
Speaker 1: presidential for a minute and take it out of my
Speaker 1: personal life. But you understand, you cannot escape the responsibility
Speaker 1: of tomorrow by evading it today. So get on your
Speaker 1: job today and handle things that no are coming. This
Speaker 1: has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing
Speaker 1: that you can't outrun your problems, you might as well
Speaker 1: face them today. I sees Daily Gaming. It's a production
