THE KEY TO LIFE: RUNNING & READING

September 21st, 2009 · Habits, Inspirational Speeches, Videos

I personally love this video of Will Smith. It has a simple but incredible powerful message: “the key to life is running and reading.“ Only two words but with a lot of meaning. Check this out because this video is very motivating and inspirational and it´s totally true.

Will Smith encourages us to apply the “running & reading” philosophy to our everyday life. It’s really interesting to listen closely to what successful people (like Will Smith) have to say about their approach and mentality to reach their goals in life.

There is another inspirational message in the video: “do what you love & love what you do.“ I love this message too, it´s a good motto for life, isn´t it?
