2:39 Power is the ability to do something or act in a particular way

7:49 Game means an ability to do something well, and it is what gets you inside

8:14 Game is not the same as power

9:09 When you have game but you keep having issues with the person in authority you may lose your opportunity to show your game

12:36 Point IV: In life, when you don’t have 100% power, you should be wise enough or disciplined enough to adjust your pride levels accordingly

15:15 Point V: You don’t have to agree to anything said in this episode, just understand that in that case you might be out of the job or off the team
