WEBVTT - Procrastination

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Up is is ice Tea? You're listening to The Daily Game,

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>that I found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>of life. We're celebrating the Great Martin Luther King Junior today,

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:24.759
<v Speaker 1>a man with so many gems to share with all

0:00:24.800 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of us.

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 2>Happy MLK Day.

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Here's a quote from President Abraham Lincoln. I you cannot

0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. This

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>is a real one, because procrastinating and putting things off

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>don't make things go away. This is something I've been

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to teach my son. My son likes to put

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.400
<v Speaker 1>off things, put off things, and then they just build

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:53.320
<v Speaker 1>up and they get worse, and they get worse, and

0:00:53.320 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>they get worse, and then I get the phone, call Dad, Dad,

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm in this bad situation. This is something that has

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>been a cue cumulating over six months. Maybe because he

0:01:04.240 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>knows he can call me and I'll try to help

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>him out. He doesn't mind allowing this to accumulate. But

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>for other people, putting off things does not help the situation.

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm guilty of it. We are all guilty of it.

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes I let my personal stuff load up. Warren Buffett said,

0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:27.959
<v Speaker 1>business is easy. It's the personal things that are hard.

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of times when I'm doing business and

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna work week, I cannot deal with personal things

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>because personal things you care and you have to deal

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.560
<v Speaker 1>with someone's emotions and their feelings and what they want

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to talk about. So sometimes I'll let them load up,

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'll say Sunday, I'm gonna handle all these personal calls.

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>On Sunday. I'm gonna sit back. I'm gonna give me

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>a glass of kool aid. I don't drink liquor. I'm

0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna get that. I get out my check book because

0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I know a lot of these problems deal with money,

0:01:55.600 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>and I will address all these motherfuckers on Sunday. It's

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.919
<v Speaker 1>definitely hard to act and deal with people's personal stuff

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and personal things.

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 2>They don't want a quick answer. They want to talk.

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 1>Like Coco will tell me, if I get on the

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>phone with my dad, it's going to be two hours,

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I can't do that right now. I

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.200
<v Speaker 1>got to get in the right space so that you're

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:22.919
<v Speaker 1>not short with people. But you cannot escape a responsibility,

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>a responsibility at some point you're going to have to

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:32.799
<v Speaker 1>deal with it. So Abraham Lincoln said, we cannot escape

0:02:32.880 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today, which basically

0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>means handle your responsibilities as soon as possible.

0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I think, let me dig in deeper. I guess.

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>Also what he's saying is problems that are happening with

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.120
<v Speaker 1>the country. He was a president, was saying that these

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 1>things are gonna come, so we need to address them

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:58.680
<v Speaker 1>now before they come. As a president, you have to

0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:00.840
<v Speaker 1>think down the road. You have to say, think, well, look,

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you know the countries and shambles. We have to address

0:03:03.840 --> 0:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>these problems of tomorrow today. I can see him coming.

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm the fucking president. Okay, I just had to get

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>presidential for a minute and take it out of my

0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:19.200
<v Speaker 1>personal life. But you understand, you cannot escape the responsibility

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:23.320
<v Speaker 1>of tomorrow by evading it today. So get on your

0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>job today and handle things that no are coming. This

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.399
<v Speaker 1>has been another ice cold fact from me iced tea.

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>that you can't outrun your problems, you might as well

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:50.000
<v Speaker 1>face them today. I sees Daily Gaming. It's a production
