Much needed inspiration

The last few weeks have been quite stressful. We had to study and revise for hours, take plenty of exams, hand in loads of homework and profit from the little free time left at the same time. As we are now finally getting closer to three weeks of relaxation and mostly study-free time, I thought we could all need some inspiration in order to keep up our enthusiasm and motivation for the last week at university and for the last few exams before Christmas break.

So, here is a video I have recently come across that really inspires me. Will Smith shares his wisdom talking about the purpose of life, how to live a meaningful life and above all how to enjoy life. I filtered out the most important phrases for you:

• Greatness exists in all of us. 
• I know who I am, I know what I believe and that is all I need to know. 
• There are no shortcuts to success. 
• Lay one brick at a time. 
• Focus on making a difference. 
• He, who says he can and he, who says he can't are both usually right. 
• Make a choice. Decide what it's going be, who you're going be, how you're going do it. Just decide. From that point the universe is going to get out of your way.  
• You really have to focus with all of your fibre, all of your heart and all of your creativity. 
• The truth is the only thing that is ever going to be constant. 
• Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. 
• If you want something, go get it. Period. 

Just go ahead and watch the video. I really hope you like it. I know it is quite long, but it is absolutely worth it plus it is a good listening exercise for everyone.
