Steve Harvey shares his hard life is child his parents and breaks down and cries steve Harvey motivation talk and podcast follow @__cl.aude_ (Instagram) Considered one of the best motivational speeches, this famous motivational speech from the 2006 film, Pursuit of Happyness, features Will Smith and his son playing basketball.
At the start of the clip youâll see Smithâs son (his actual son, Jaden Smith) playing around with a basketball, and he shouts out âIâm going pro!â
After hearing this, Smith decides to try and level his sonâs expectations, mentioning that he himself never really excelled at basketball, so his son shouldnât expect to either.
His son is visibly disappointed by this comment, and Smith notices this.
Smith then proclaims: âdonât ever let somebody tell you that you canât do something, not even me.â
âYou got a dream, you gotta protect it. You want something, go get it. Period.â
This motivational speech is a special one. Even though both Will and Jaden Smith are acting, theyâre still father and son, and you can see how this scene reflects their own family dynamic.
Itâs a short motivational speech, but itâs one of the best motivational speeches of all time, in our opinion.
