YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

The guy's a genius. He has so many amazing quotes.

"I don't know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived."

"I've never viewed myself as particularly talented, where I excel is ridiculous, sickening work ethic."

"I'm not afraid to die on a treadmill. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me. But if we get on the treadmill together, there's two things: you're getting off first, or I'm going to die."

Ridiculous, sickening work ethic. That's important.

I have immense respect for this guy. I have gone through his thoughts in the past and I feel that he can be a great motivational speaker

... Apart from that since he is a perfectionist and extremely talented, it makes far more appealing.

Thanks

He would make an absolute killing as a motivational speaker. I would spend all my money just to listen to him for a couple of hours.

Thanks

I've seen this before and it is very powerful stuff. It adds a whole new dimension to the way I perceive Will Smith as an actor and as a personal motivating force for people. I wish celebrities were more inclined to inspire the masses like this instead of wasting their time in the spotlight showing the public how drunk, strung out, shallow, egotistical, etc. that they can be. You can tell Will Smith has a real passion to get this message out.

  That spoke only toward his intellect.
  
  Anyhow, doesn't it seem like forever since he's been in a movie?

  Yeah, I think Pursuit of Happyness was the best movie he was in, such a inspiring and powerful movie!!
  
  Suprises me that he still hasn't won a Golden Globe or Academy Award with that amazing work ethic!! Maybe everyone's still got the 'Fresh Prince' picture in their heads still

He really has grabbed life by the horns and subdued it. I find Elon Musk, Richard Branson, and Jeff Bezos to be inspirational as well.

I always seemed to like the movies that Will Smith starred in. I'm not one to follow an actor/actress but I do with him.

That was before watching the video in the OP... I can see why I was attracted to his movies.

Yes he is, and he brings it out in a funny way. A light touch to bringing out serious things. When you listen to him, you will get to understand what drives him, he has a lot of passion in what he does. I believe in acquiring knowledge and skills to succeed.

Harvey thanks so much for posting this Will Smith YouTube video.

I had seen it a couple of years ago and then lost track of it and I had been wanting to find it again.

Will Smith is one of the most inspiring people I’ve ever seen.

One of the things I do every morning is five to ten minutes of watching something inspirational and I am making a collection of short inspirational YouTube videos. So happy to add this one to my list.

Thanks!

Thanks

No worries, Nat. It's always nice when you find something you've been looking for.
