So Will Smith started vlogging you let me tell you I'm Punk'd I love Will Smith. I've loved Will Smith
Back from when he was The Fresh Prince of bel-air, but I really started to like him when I started to hear him in interviews
Will Smith
always shares really remarkable insights when it comes to motivation and
Pursuit one of my favorite quotes from him was actually this
Essentially he said if we're both getting on the treadmill
I'm gonna tell you one thing you're getting off that treadmill first or I'm dead and what's funny about that is that?
I've always felt that way about myself, too
There's nothing that's gonna stop me from getting what I want
And when I see Will Smith or saying this anyway in this interview it just made me get fired up
And I actually did a video about this probably a couple of years ago now
But now things changed Will Smith started vlogging, and I've got some comments about it
Hey, I'm Derek Halpern you're watching planet Derek the place entrepreneurs come to get ahead in business and in life
And here's what I think about Will Smith vlogging. I love it so Will Smith did a vlog where he quoted John C
Maxwell fail early fell off and fell forward then he goes on to share what he believes about failure nowadays
People like to view failure as some as something negative
It's so bad in fact that we've decided that people don't fail anymore everyone gets a trophy
and it's so weird because
On the one hand failure does make you feel bad, but there's nothing bad about
Feeling bad and Will Smith goes on to say that failure for him is
Important because the more you fail the more you learn the more you learn the more you go forward, but for me. I've always
appreciated doing things poorly
And I've always appreciated feeling bad about it because in that discontent in that feeling is
where the desire and motivation comes to become better
This is something I feel is
Lost on kids today, it's lost on people today
We're so focused on being so nice people that no one is ever
Actually willing to give people the real feedback. They need to proceed forward
When I first started speaking by now, you know I wasn't very good. I've showed eg a video of it
I wasn't a great speaker
I remember I got off stage my buddy Lewis house comes up to me, and he gave me some feedback
And he didn't say it to demean me. He didn't say it to
Make me feel bad about myself, but what he said is hey dude. I liked some of the content
You need to get a little bit better at presenting it real
honest feedback
now what's funny is I already knew I kind of bombed it because I felt like the audience wasn't kind of engaged as much as
I wanted them to be engaged, but hearing that
Gave me that wherewithal to proceed forward for some reason people today. They don't want to hear stuff like this
They just want to be told how great they are they want to be told oh, I sent this email
And I got this result so you called it in. It's a half-assed email. I said this to a friend
They got insulted at me, and I was just like I don't know why you're insulted good email good results
It wasn't that great. There's nothing wrong with that
You don't need everyone to give you these compliments
So you feel good about?
Yourself and this brings me to failure not everything you do is gonna be great if you look at some of the videos on this
Channel some of the videos are good some of the videos aren't good each bad video has been a learning experience for me
To make better videos now this brings me back to Will Smith
I'm pumped that he's vlogging because as I said I've seen some interviews with him and
Some of the things he said have really inspired me personally
and now we're gonna be seeing him create more of this stuff what I'm
pumped so if you haven't seen his vlog you need to go check it out go subscribe and
Today all I want to say is this
Sometimes you're gonna fail at something and you're gonna feel bad about yourself
But the most important thing you can do is wake up the next day
See that failure and use that as fuel to go forward
I'm Derek Halpern if you liked this video like it subscribe to my channel. I'll see you tomorrow
