The Surprising Wisdom Of Will Smith
If you grew up in the 90′s, it’s likely your after school hours consisted of the following: Saved By The Bell, Full House, and Family Matters. But there was one show that transcended the corny sitcom genre and was actually clever and consistently funny – The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air.
The success of the show was largely the result of Will Smith’s comedic timing and aw-shucks likability. It wasn’t a surprise then when Will made the leap to the big screen, all the while continuing to release non-offensive rap albums, and befriend all of Hollywood.
These days, while many of the top names have dropped off the A-List, Will Smith remains the world’s most bankable star.
What’s the secret? Apparently, it’s that he’s “willing to die on a treadmill.” See what I mean by watching below.
You have to hand it to Will. His obsessive drive has certainly served him well, and offers a number of takeaway truths for any wisdom seeker.
