I found this video by Tyrese Gibson. I find it interesting and decide to post it here. Tyrese in this video has some lessons for everyone- find the good thing about yourself and develop it. You do not need to be someone else to become successful.
In his
voice, Tyrese says, “We’re all trying to get money. I repeat, we’re all trying
to get money. But I’m gonna ask of everybody that’s looking at this video, and
you may say it’s easy for you to say Tyrese because you’ve got it. But I’m
gonna ask of everybody that’s looking at this video to try their best to
compartmentalize.. what does that mean? That means that independent of having
money, and all the power that most of us could find ourselves giving to money,
to try and identify, doing and getting back to the things that bring you joy.
Have you ever thought about writing a book? Have you ever thought about the joy
that it would bring to have people to know and understand your story? Have you ever thought of writing a script? If
I would mention ten of the top writers in Hollywood right now that are writing
all of the top movies, for all of your favorite movies in Hollywood, none of
you would know what they look like. If I would mention the top ten or top
fifteen selling books of all times, in most cases, they are not famous they are
not celebrities. They are just regular folks. They had the vision and idea
about what they wanted to put on paper and ended up impacting the world, and
selling domestically and internationally, and changing lives. The books are so
powerful that they have to translate them to forty, fifty, seventy five
different languages around the world because it’s a message, so powerful and
important; it travels everywhere. It’s when you’re doing something from your
heart, even though language barriers, it would affect hearts. How do I go about
writing a book? I tell you, what you want to do is that you want to record
yourself. You want to create the title of your book and you want to create the
chapter titles. That’s what you want to do… Then after you have come up with the
chapter titles, that’s when you start recording yourself verbally… Understand
people, you don’t have to be famous to do any and everything that you want to
do in your life. So many of you right now are so ‘stuck’ and caught up in
celebrity and fame and popularity and all of the glamour that come with
Hollywood and being a singer, a rapper or an affiliate. I want you to
understand something; I don’t actually have a great deal of respect for most of
the celebrities that I meet”. (more in the video)
He went
further to explain that that all you need to do is use your personality,
talents and skills to make the world a better place, celebrity or not. If you want to influence the world, there then
is no need to be caught up in the wrong pursuits: trying to become someone
else. Just get hold of your dreams, keep to your God-given visions, and pursue
them with vigor. Dream big and do not let finance be a blockade in your path. Many people attain greatness and are not that famous, yet
they are much more fulfilled than most famous people. You should be your best and
not someone else. Celebrity is good but not all that there is. Money is good
but not everything. Influence is what we need and should gun for. Great is he
that knows to give hope to the hopeless, inspiration to the uninspired, and
motivation to the unmotivated. It’s not lonely at the top if you have some
other people there with you. “Other people’s success
represents the possibility of what you can achieve” -Tyrese Gibson. Believe in yourself, learn
from others, and learn to help others stand; that’s my definition of greatness.
You are engineered to succeed… See you at the top.
