I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's up to SiZ team. You're listening to The Daily Game, a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. We could thank the great Chinese philosopher Confusius for this gem. Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. But I think he's really saying it's better to be great and have flaws just to be

on the sideline. There's thousands of pebbles. Nothing is really precious. It's better to be a diamond with imperfections, you know, so you want to work your way to where you are precious, and then even if you do have imperfections, it doesn't matter. You're still a diamond than just to be people on the sidelines that have not perfected themselves in any way. I like relaying a lot of things to sports. It's like, it's better to be the last guy in the bench of a protea and somebody can't

even make it to the pros. You know, he might not be the star, but he's still there. He's a diamond. He might not have the imperfections. I think Confucius is really just trying to say, stand out and be the best you can be, even if you do have flaws. That's still much better than a piece of shit on the side of the road talking shit. That's ICE's interpretation of Confucius. It's better to be a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. This has been another Ice

Cold fact from me Iced team. Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, say knowing that being unique and special it's way better than be an average.
