I was listening to WILL SMITH’S WORDS OF WISDOM and did not realize he was that deep. The way he spoke and the way he expressed himself it made me forget about him playing on “The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air”. The character of “Will” was not on my mind, did not even think about that silly guy. He was this serious man talking to the reporter, expressing himself in a way that would make anyone feel what he was saying. I know what I was expecting and he totally changed my perception of him.

WILL SMITH  or ‘FRESH PRINCE” was a rapper in the late 80′s and early 90′s that was a silly/funny  rapper. He made songs about parents not understanding the kids of today.  Fresh prince also made some classics like “Brand New Funk” and “Summertime”. His rap career catapulted him into stardom and he never looked back . He started playing on tv shows as a guess and then Barry Gordy put Will in his own sitcom. From that point “The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air” was a fixture on tv. I believe he was not a good actor at that time but you could tell he loved what he was doing and wanted to continue to act. He wasn’t a natural but the camera loved him and he loved it back. WILL SMITH  has played in several movies and won countless awards for music and movies. His career is one to envy because he has achieved greatness from hard work and perseverance. 

WILL SMITH’S  life gives you a lot of lessons and it’s up to you to interpret it. I liked Will’s mind set was  he never gave up. He was talking about talent and he said “talent alone is not what makes you successful, but when mixed with skill, the right skill. Skill can be developed over time”. Skill is something a person can work hard at to develop and make up for his lack of talent. He also said a person might have everything on their side. They might be smarter, in better shape and a whole list of better assets. But if they(Will and a friend) were on a tread mill, the only thing that was happening was, either the other guy was getting off or he was going to die, that’s the only way it would end. I didn’t understand the power of BELIEF. I know there is no way a person can achieve a high level of greatness without having a strong belief. I enjoyed listening to his WORDS OF WISDOM.
