Will Smith's Life Advice Will Change You - One of the Greatest Speeches Ever | Will Smith Motivation

I'm motivated by fear fear of fear I hate being scared to do something it's very simple this is what I believe and I'm willing to die for it period you can't be scared to die for the truth the truth is the only thing that's ever going to be constant and you can't fear what might happen to you if you were to tell the truth because what happens to you if you don't tell the truth is worse than telling the truth will ever be the first step before anybody else in the world believes it is you have to believe it there's no reason to have a plan because it distracts from plan a and I think psychologically the advantage that that gives me over over a lot of people that I have been in competition with the different situations is it's difficult to take the first step when you look how big yeah the task is the task is never huge to me it's always gonna be one brick I believe and I learned very young that you you don't try to build a wall you don't set out to build a wall you don't say I'm gonna bake this still the biggest baddest greatest wall that's ever been built you know start there you say I'm gonna lay this brick as perfectly as a brick can be laid there will not be one brick on the face of the earth that's gonna be laid better than this brick that I'm gonna lay in this next ten minutes and you do that every single day soon you have a wall I've never really viewed myself as particularly talented where I excel is ridiculous sickening work ethic you know while the other guys sleeping I'm working what other guys eat and I'm working the separation of talent and skill is one of the the the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel who have dreams that want to do things talent you have naturally skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft I always knew that I could work hard enough I didn't there wasn't an issue with discipline or there wasn't an issue with with the ability to sacrifice or the willingness to sacrifice there's no easy way around it no matter how talented you are your talent is going to fail you if you're not skilled you know if you don't study if you don't work really hard and dedicate yourself to being better every single day this this one year my father headed shop and he decided for whatever reason that he wanted a new wall on the front of his shop so he tore down probably about you know 16 feet high and probably about 30 feet long he just completely tore the wall down and my brother and I had to dig a six-foot hole we were the meze ship for the foundation we would mix in the concrete by hand a year and a half we were building this wall for a year and a half every day after school we would come in mixing concrete put it in all doing it and it was just myself and my little brother and I remember standing back looking at that wall saying there's gonna be a hole here forever a year to half later we laid the the final brick and my father stood back with my brother and I and I know he planned as he says he thought he says he did but I know he had the planning this and rightness for him for the past two years but he we sped back we looked at the wall and he looked at me and my brother said don't y'all never tell me that you can't do something and walked into the shop as a child my parents always told me you could be whatever you want to be you could do whatever you want to do and you know that that office that position that the highest office on the face of the earth it was something I heard my parents saying it but I didn't totally believe it yet I went out in the world and I carried myself and I held my head high and I stood there and I look people in their eyes and I talked to people as if I was deserving of everything that this planet has to offer I just I really want to say to two children out there and to two people who are watching Confucius said one time he who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right having the opportunity to to study greatness at any time you have that that opportunity there are certain there are certain intricacies that will make clear who you are it becomes that much more clear who you are the definition of Who I am is very clear to me and it also redefines who I want to be in that I know for a fact that I'm stronger than I thought I was you know you can't help but ask yourself the question what would I do if I was in Muhammad Ali shoes I'm not the best at anything you know what I mean Eddie Murphy is funnier then I'll ever be Denzel is more powerful than I'll ever be I think that that my strength is I can do everything well you know I can do a little bit of everything and that's what I concentrate on to be my strength I'll never be able to compete with Denzel enjoy connecting with with people and and ideas and you know it's I have a mission statement so I have every year for probably the past ten years I've worked out a mission statement for myself and for the last few few years the mission statement has stayed the same and it you know it's been improved lives right so when it when I go into something I'm looking for how the quality of this piece could potentially improve lives but it's all along the way it's when you make the movie and how you're interacting with people in the process and you know the the concept of improving lives runs through the center of everything I do and then I realize that the the way to improve lives is to continually improve yourself right so with that every every morning when I when I get out of the bed you know I I haven't fixed everything in the world yet so there's always something to do I want my life I want my my work my family I wanted to mean something if you are not making someone else's life better then you're wasting your time you know like that your life will be fun better by making other lives better few months ago I said that I believe that if I chose to I could be the president of the United States and I think as I've had a chance to intellectualize why I said in and I think that there's a certain delusional quality that all successful people have to have you have to believe that something different than what has happened for the last 52 Iligan ten members of history you have to believe that something different can happen the one thing that I that I truly tried to communicate and the interpretation of Olli is the complex simplicity of greatness and how greatness is not this wonderful esoteric illusive godlike feature that only the special among us will ever taste you know it's something that truly exists in all of us loss is bound to joy like pain and suffering are bound to joy the the being able to survive something is actually a big part of being able to find that next wave of joy you appreciate smaller things I hated being scared that I didn't want to to even take the meet I hate it I just hated that being scared to do something and I think what developed in my in my early days was the the attitude that I started attacking things that I was scared of [Music] [Music]
