1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's 2 00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: Up in Size Team? You're listening to The Daily Game 3 00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years 4 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: of life. Today's quote comes from Ralph Waldo Emerson, a 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: philosopher who led the Transcendentalist movement. Believing people are their 7 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 1: best when they are self reliant and independent. 8 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,520 Speaker 2: Ralph said, do not go where the path may lead. 9 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: Go instead where there is no path, and leave a trail. 10 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,640 Speaker 1: This is one of my philosophies. Find a lane that's open. 11 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 1: If everybody's running down this lane. Let's think we're talking 12 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: about music. If all music sounds a certain way, don't 13 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: be the people that make music that sounds just like theirs. 14 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,279 Speaker 2: Pick another lane. 15 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: Now, the trick is that new lane that you pick 16 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: may not be that popular at the moment, but if 17 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: it becomes popular, you are the leader in that lane. 18 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: So anytime I'm talking to people, I'm like, try to 19 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: find something that hasn't been done, or if it has 20 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: been done, you still have to shear from that path 21 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: and make it better or make it different. But people 22 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: that just follow other people's paths. 23 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 2: I don't know. That's an awful existence. 24 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean I always say there can only be one 25 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 1: original and everything else is a copy. So seek originality 26 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: in your life. Go left like Cool Keith, one of 27 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: my friends, always said, if you want to be original, 28 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: look and see what everyone else is doing, and don't 29 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: do that that's original. Find a lane that hasn't been 30 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: traveled yet and leave your own path. 31 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: This is one of my keys to success. 32 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 1: You know, everybody knows I'm a rapper, but when I 33 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: started my metal band body Count, there were very very 34 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: few black metal bands and we've just won a Grammy 35 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,160 Speaker 1: for Best Metal Performance. We stayed on our lane for 36 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: twenty five years now going on thirty years, and we 37 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: are known as being a very unique band, and we 38 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: stand in the lane that's all our own because we 39 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: found a path and we made a trail. 40 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 2: I pay attention. 41 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: Stop following other people, have the courage to make your 42 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: own trail. 43 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,400 Speaker 2: Do not go where the path may lead. 44 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: Go instead where there is no path, and leave a 45 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 1: trail that's dope. This has been another ice cold fact 46 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: from me. 47 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: Iced tea. 48 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your 49 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing 50 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: that real hustlers make their own past. 51 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: We don't follow trends.
