I See's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up Sise team. You're listening to The Daily Game, the compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game of life. Today's quote is one of my favorites. I want you guys to listen up. It'll help you stay focused. Never say that one more time. Never confuse popularity with respect. Popularity and respect to totally different things. There's a lot
of people that are well respected but unknown. They've done great things and people love them for it. There's other people that are very popular and they've really done nothing that deserves respect. You can get on internet and you can just be an idiot and do dumb shit and become very, very, very popular. I don't know why you should be respected. Maybe because you made somebody laugh, I don't know, but it doesn't really garner my respect. Somebody told me the story about fame, which is kind of
like popularity, and it's an interesting story. It's about a grapefruit, and it's like if they took a grapefruit and put it on television every day and it came on say at twelve noon and stayed on till three on all the channels. After about a month, you could take that grapefruit and put it in Times Square and put a rope around it, and people would take pictures with the grapefruit.
That's what fame is. They actually could get a private jet and take that grapefruit on tour from city to city and people would go out and take pictures with the grapefruit. That's what fame is. That's what popularity is. It's just you're known more more than other people. Now, whether you're known for something that's worthy of respect, well, respect comes from different people for different reasons. Some people
you have to do great things to be respected. Other people you just got to be the coolest or have the coolest sneakers, and I respect your sneaker collection. So there are two different things, and uh, don't confuse them. That's all I'm saying. Don't confuse popularity with respect. You can be totally respected and unknown, or you could be extremely popular than a fucking idiot. This has been another
ice cold fact from me ice Tea. Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your ass till then, stay safe, Stay smart and stay true to your hustle.
