Protect Your Dream

Nuggets of wisdom from Will Smith.

Greatness exists in all of us.
Yes it can.
There’s no shortcut to success.
Lay one brick at a time.
Focus on making a difference.
Represent an idea.
You have to believe.
Nothing is unrealistic.
Our thoughts are physical.
You really gotta focus.
Attack your fears.
Be willing to die for the truth.
Protect your dream.

“People can’t do something themselves. They wanna tell you you can’t do it.”
