Inspiration and Motivation

September 25, 2010 By 5 Comments

I try to find inspiration, motivation, drive and ideas in every aspect of life. I look at how other companies operate in different industries and try to apply some of those qualities that I admire to the companies that I’m part of. I think about how hard others work in their jobs and lives whether it is the Chief of Staff to the President, Jay-Z or they are a single mom or dad.

Recently I came across a compilation of interviews that Will Smith has given over the years that The Mind Guru put together. It is by far one of the most inspirational videos I have ever seen.

If you can’t view this video, you can head over to YouTube to watch it..

I have watched this video over and over again, each time pulling out quotes that meant something to me. My favorite?

“Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.”

Make sure you take the 10 minutes out of your day TODAY to watch this video. It is my hope that you find this video as motivating as I have found it.

    Wow. My favorite quote (paraphrasing) is that you don’t set out to build a wall. You set out to lay the best brick you can.

    Thanks for sharing.

    That is an incredible story of working on the wall for 1.5 years with his
    brother. Glad you enjoyed it!

    Absolutely agree! It is an incredible video! I was a big fan of Will Smith
    but grew so much respect for him after watching the video.
