Secrets Of Success - Will Smith

Over the years, Will Smith has attended several broadcast shows in attempt to explain to the public the stories behind his journey to the land of success. These are some of the highlights:

Greatness exists in all of us. Greatness truly exists in all of us. It is not meant only for the special ones in the society. Once you believe in something, be willing to die for it. You should know who you are, and what you believe in. Then go out and do what you need to do. Then greatness will be your price.

Aim High. You are not meant to be where you are. Will smith grew up with a sense that where they were was not where they were meant to be. Where they were did not matter because they were becoming something greater in the future.

There is no shortcut to success. Success takes time and effort. Then comes skills and talent. Talent is natural but skill is developed by hours and hours at work. He does no view himself as talented. Where he excels has been by what he terms as sickening work ethic; working while others are eating and sleeping. No matter how talented you are, you might not excel if you have no skills.

Focus. Lay one brick at a time in life. Do not go out to build a wall. You should instead focus on laying one brick at a time; in a perfect manner. Focus with all your fiber, art and creativity at your task. You should focus to excel in one task, and then take on the next challenge.

Make a difference. Will Smith wants the world, his life and his work to mean something. He reiterates that he wants the world to be better because he had lived in it. He then further advises that your life should represent something. His life represents an idea of possibility. That we can all do something fruitful.

Believe in yourself. Before someone else believes in you, then you must take the first step and believe in yourself. Then the rest will follow.

Do not be realistic. Go the extra mile and find facts beyond the ordinary. Our thoughts, feelings, ideals and ideas are physical in the universe. If we dream something, picture something and commit ourselves to it, then we can create the thing in the world. Picture something then decide how you are going to do it

Attack your fears. Fear will tell that in existent giants exist. Fear will block you true potential. Its normal to have fear, but if you don’t conquer your fear, then you might not achieve a lot.

Be truthful and don’t ever let someone tell you that you can’t do anything. The sky is the limit.
