  Dot com Welcome to the Daily Quote, a podcast designed to

  kick start your day in a positive way.

  I'm your host Andrew McGivern for July 19th.
• 0:14
  Today is National Words with Friends Day, observed every July
• 0:18
  19th since 2021. This Day was created by Zynga,
• 0:23
  the company behind the mobile word game sensation first
• 0:26
  released in 2009, to honor how a simple word play fosters
• 0:30
  connection, competition, wit, and community across the globe.
• 0:35
  What began as a digital Scrabble lake experience has blossomed
• 0:39
  into a cultural touchstone. Millions engage in asynchronous
• 0:44
  matches, learn new words and playful taunts, and nurture
• 0:49
  friendships, all one turn at a time.
• 0:52
  With that in mind, our quote of the day comes from the
• 0:55
  incomparable Maya Angelou, who once said only equals can become
• 1:02
  friends. Maya Angelou was an acclaimed
• 1:07
  American poet and memoirist, educator, and civil rights
• 1:10
  activist that's known for her groundbreaking autobiography, I
• 1:14
  Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. She received numerous honors,
• 1:20
  including three Grammy Awards, Presidential Medal of Freedom,
• 1:25
  and a Pulitzer nomination. Her writing and speaking shaped
• 1:29
  many conversations about identity, resilience, and human
• 1:34
  connection for over half a century.
• 1:36
  This quote reminds us that friendship thrives on balance,
• 1:40
  mutual respect, and shared value, not on one person
• 1:45
  overshadowing another. In words.
• 1:47
  With friends, that balance is literal.
• 1:50
  Players face off tile for tile, letter for letter, with equal
• 1:54
  opportunity to spark clever plays, share laughter, or pause
• 1:59
  mid game to catch up. So today, remember that you and
• 2:04
  your opponent are equals in this little dance of letters.
• 2:09
  What matters isn't just the words you play, but the
• 2:13
  camaraderie you build, move by move, game by game.
• 2:21
  That's going to do it. For today, I'm Andrew McGivern,
• 2:23
  signing off for now, but I'll be back tomorrow.
