  • @cridantis I know how you feel. i have arthritis. for months since i was diagnosed i sat on my ass all day using my arthritis as an excuse not to get active. Now i decided to "kill" whatever that was making me thing and feel that it was impossible and started to run. Now i feel like nothing can stop me. Not even some illness that decides to one day try to ruin my life. Fight back!

  • This video has been my inpiration for a year

  • 20 dont think theyll reach anywhere in life

  • Is there a version of the speech without the song?

  • If EVERYONE followed Will Smiths advice about running and reading... The average life expectancy of human beings would be 150 years and there would be less people on the planet.

  • Will Smith.

    

  • Clearly 20 people can't run or read. lol

  • I'm gonna state the obvious here cos it seems like some people have taken willy boy literally here. The running is a metaphor for anything you do life e.g. Your career, learning something new, a sport, exams or just running :)

  • Comment removed

  • @r44hil yea of course,the voice that wants you to stop running is the same voice that wants you to quit at anything you do. if you learn to defeat it while running, you can defeat it in anything in life.

  • Try this: steal some books from a library and runaway from the cops

  • Scientology weirdo

  • @pliskin100 cry more kid

  • @Tamuz95 Worship talentless niggers more, kid.

  • @pliskin100 Why are you so mad? Clearly you have issues kid, calm down. You want a pacifier; I know babies love pacifier.

  • @Tamuz95 Oh look a willow smith fan, how cute.

  • Comment removed

  • @pliskin100 Oh look a winy faggot, how cute.

  • @Tamuz95 Were you actually born in 1995, because that would explain why you have acne and play xbox.

  • @pliskin100 How did you get so cool ? I simply don't understand, and such an original name , man you're so cool ! Just for the record i rather play PS3, than an xbox, i would also rather play xbox 360 before xbox. Im sure you're simply a 13 year old faggot who probably searched solid snake hentai on google or newgrounds. Cmon kid im above your level, just leave.

  • @pliskin100 haterz gonna hate

  • the original boss!!!

  • inspirational!

  • @OrangePlatyPuss he said this to freaking little kids. Kid friendly word

  • 17 people quitted!

  • man im rich, but not with money ah nahh, with the power of the mind, limitless possibilities, money is overated, sure its nice to have, but there's so many things more important than money in life, happiness, love, health, and actually having a life, we all living n i see so many people businessmen goin to work, clearly upset but they do the same routine n worry bout the same things, n they dont stop to just enjoy life, forget money, you can enjoy life without money.

  • what tune is this playin? its chillin

  • Running is harmful because it bounces your inner organs up and down, it creates shock waves up your legs and messes up both your ankles and knees. There are much better ways to access information than reading. You can astral project and time travel to the past/future, or you can learn to psychically tap into information!

  • @leapingfury Very very beautiful message that mr Smith has, hopefully I, and everyone else can harness his knowledge and use it to live our dreams. Leapingfury, dude, you need to just shut up. Ofcourse there's biking, and astral projection, ha, don't make me laugh. That's a bit imaginary isn't it? I guess you're going to reply with some ridiculous claim to fame that you've bought into, but save the breathing space. Something important for you to learn is scaling fact from fiction. You lack it.

  • @leapingfury are you fucking stupid or are you just fat

    our legs were build for endurance running and not everybody has access to the dull bubbling mania and delusions you do.

  • @leapingfury ahahahahahahahahahahahaah!!!

  • I wounder how many hospitals they could close if everyone would run more.

  • i watch this at least once a week what an inspiration

  • I love him

  • gazillion isnt a number

  • We luv Jeff ;)

  • this is so fkin inspiring

  • Can someone recommend me some books about life or w/e, motivational books? Like "Think and Grow Rich", "Talent is Overrated, "The Alchemist".

    Would greatly appreciate it, thanks!

  • @iSNiPEjust "See you at the top" by zig ziglar (this one is better than think and grow rich;)); "rich dad-poor dad"; "never give up"; "why we want you to be rich"; "think big"; "the secret" ; "the power of positive thinking" Enjoy the reading :)

  • @lesika3

    Thank you good sir/madame!

  • 16 people don't have legs

  • Why does the view counter only show my views?

  • I've been saying for years and years, no matter what you want to know, the answer is in a book somewhere! Since the internet, I've change that to say on the internet somewhere, but the message is still the same. LOVE WILL SMITH!!!!! He's the kind of man you can look up to, a hero by my standards!

  • Will Smith should have a TED talk

  • @cabron2223 love ted.com continue the spreading of that site

  • It works for cycling too; when you're going up hills and that voice is telling you "Stop..your legs are dying here" I say "one more turn of the peddles..one more..one more..." and before you know it, the hill is climbed...

  • or wherever the time is haha

  • 1:54

  • 16 people don't want to learn the key of life

  • im going to tell this to my kid one day when i have one.

    thanks will

  • What happens if you can't read, because your blind. And you can't run because you can't walk, so what happens to those people that can't defeat something that they can't beat?

    So it can't be all about running and reading. I think life's answers and life's troubles can be controlled by one person and that one person is the person that created life.

  • @tripper27 You forgot m8, he also believes in general that "The person who works the hardest wins..."

    A blind person can learn to read in braile, if he/she works their hardest

    The same person that can't walk needs to learn how to walk before he/she can run, which can only happen if they work their hardest.

    "running & reading", "key to life", etc things are to be taken figuratively not literally, thats a well made point tho on your part ;)

  • @tripper27 you don't get the point!!... He's saying running helps to overcome that little voice in your head telling you that you can't go any further. It doesn't necessarily have to be running, but it's a great example. And by reading he means to soak up as much information as possible and to never stop learning. This doesn't have to be done through just reading, there's many videos you can watch to get that information as well! There's deeper meaning to what he's saying.

  • Its funny how he said this in 2005 and to this day in 2011 I make damn sure to always get up and run at least 3 miles a day. in rain, snow,, on vacation, Hurricane whatever. this man truly inspired me :)

  • thumbs up if you went running and reading after this video!

  • Read books.  Run, run, walk fast then run faster.

  • Bro you just made me a millionaire. :)

  • Is there more of this that I can watch cause it seems like the video was cut short

  • I can watch this video again and again. Great work man. :-)

  • Did anyone else peep that 666 on that black shirt he had on between those two 4's at the end ?

  • Reading while running is hard...

  • @SmapAttack Hey, he is not saying run and read simultaneously. He's saying run to defeat the person in your mind - make you stronger. Read to gain knowledge - Brain. Strength and Brain = life.

  • @zixerqwert

    It's called a "joke", son.

  • will smith for president

  • @DjhushaTV them 93 thumbs up is the only votes he will ever get for us president!!!

  • this is amazing, powerful words, a very blessed man...

  • He is being concise. One could say that listening is part of his "reading" philosophy. Listening/reading is the same in that we should learn from others (who have been through the same). If you can imagine him having added in listening to this speech don't you think that his speech for reading and listening would be very very similar in essence, and therefore unnecessary (especially in a short speech to kids).

    Truly inspiration man.

  • 15 people can't run and read

  • @abamegel hahah 15 blind paraplegics lol

  • I tottally agree with you Letstalad02. Listening is crucial

  • i got mad respect for will i allways have but this just tops it off i mean his words are truley inspirational

  • download link?

  • Running (let's defeat dat guy who says quit!!) and Reading( open dat book up there's everything there)...Rise above all people we all can win our fights....

  • running and reading!

  • This is so weird. I remember when he gave this speech. Just as good now as it was then when I was 11.

  • thums up reading  is important

  • Comment removed

  • Try telling this to a blind guy in a wheelchair.

  • @adamresyk2112 HAHAHAHAHHAAAA LoL

  • @adamresyk2112 you missed the message u son of a brick !

  • @Starbury3187 Hey, I had a point too. Did you miss mine? All I was trying to express was that his 'key' to life, is certainly not universal. Beside that, I would make a further point that if one has such strong goals, and is trying to constantly change, or become 'successful', what is wrong with the life you have? When will you be happy? Surely a goal is a desire to change things, due to dissatisfaction, so when will you be satisfied? When does one stop saying "I'll be happy once I get this"

  • Truer words have never been said.

  • Man... thank you so much for sharing this. This really means a lot to me.

  • Thanks sooo much, I really appreciate it. much love

  • Thanks Will Smith!

  • Comment removed

  • So true...I've been living by these words since I first heard them years ago. SO TRUE!

  • Fuck, Will Smith is so goddamned awesome.

  • Friends, I Love Mr. Will Smith. I have watched this video over and over. "Running" could be an analogy for whatever we are "running" in our lives...a new business venture, home and family, developing friendships, overcoming illness and financial challenges.

    I hear and apply Will's words, "Learn how to NOT quit when things get tough in your life." Amen, Will. LOL Jen Seabrooke

  • its really the most beatiful thing ive ever heard

  • Will Smith dropping some knowledge.

  • do it!

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO!!!

  • Great guy!

  • This video is so INSPIRATIONAL...I LOVE Will Smith...His videos are so SACRED & at the same time, they NEED to be shared with the world...He's so WISE beyond his years...I could listen to him talk for hours...He keeps it simple...T*H*A*N*K*S You Tube for hosting this video...and T*H*A*N*K*S TeamJonny5 for uploading....I really APPRECIATE it...xO

  • Hi guys check out my channel to check out a cool book!

    THANKS

  • Will Smith is an amazing person who gets it. We always need to get up and do things the right way.

  • so true!

  • @Oceanheart2

    You could try a rubber woman actualy :)

  • will smith is probably the most positive african american in the show biz out there

    i dont inlcude obama i think he is a theif, and should be killed for lying

  • I have been watching this video for the past couple years! Thank you for this video! It really helps!

  • My kinda speach

  • Genius, inspirational words from an inspirational man.

  • Love what you do and do what you love

  • So simple yet so effective

  • Huge Thanks for Sharing this , i love will so much he is one of favorite actors in the world

  • is he grabing some ass 1:09 lol

  • Will Smith; what an inspiration

  • Lol @ the people who interpret this as meaning if you run more you become successful. He's trying to tell you to never give up, not become a long distance runner or whatever.

  • Actually, I think he means to physically run. Speaking from a pro runner. I can tell you...that voice he speaks of...is very familiar to me. Constant effort to overcome. I believe you can take his statement quite literally.

  • He's trying to help you with a never give up attitude, wherever you find it through whatever exercise. Some people can't run due to joint problems etc. He means just keep working.

  • I really like this speech Will Smith gave that day. I belive what he said about running and reading. I love reading but running is something i need to start doing. (Thanks Will For the words of wisdom. Your Friend David Brian Williams)

  • thanks willsmith.

  • Great message, Will ! !

  • He's a good guy. Alot of people try to hide their secrets (to success).

  • Give Jesus a try too!

  • @babyfacejim No, if you put your faith in him, instead of yourself. you'll be just like everyone else. Unhappy, if you want to live your life working for someone else, then follow in the foot steps of your god or boss. I make my own path. I'm already on my way to a rich future.

  • @PedoBearJr It's ignorant to assume that "everyone else" who puts their faith in Jesus is unhappy. Seems to me the unhappiest people in the world are those that think a "rich future" will create the happiness for them, therefore they feel they have the need to criticize someone's faith.

  • Honestly I will admit that was well worded and I'm at a loss of words. Your points are valid and I apologize, though there was a touch of spite in my comment, my point stands. To follow is not to lead, and to lead is to thrive above others.

    I plan to retire by 30, then retire my parents. A dream not possible if I were to follow.

  • Yeah man, im with you on that all the way!

  • A very good lesson for life...yes!

  • Love willy just seen his new film free at movie buster. org

  • a zis-o!!! dar nimeni nu l-a luat in serios! e tare omul asta!

  • foarte tare omul ...bravo

  • I never knew this side of will smith, good stuff :)

  • you can say wat you want about will smith, he is still very righteous here

  • sick speech

  • i like this speech. the running part is very important. and if you get the bigger picture of it, it will help you in other aspects of life.

  • Thanks Teri for putting this together!

    So awesome! When you master your feelings and train them that they aren't in control, then you can win this game of life! He is dead on.

  • 100% true.

    How he is saying that is amazing. Great.

  • TRUE

  • Will Smith is right on in this speech. As an avid runner and reader myself, Ive noticed these same phenomena have changed my life, and I recommend both to anyone I talk to.

  • Many people don't get the message.

    It's not only about going out and running but about being a winner in everything you're in like work, studies, sport...  :)

  • wow brilliant

  • Gettin Jiggy Wit it is a key to life. Cause when you're gettin jiggy wit it, you're not focused on "Am I gonna get jiggy wit it tomorrow? Am I gonna get jiggy wit it next week?" No. You're gettin jiggy wit it right now.
