I love it how 30 years and many many millions later, he tells how the people around him (even his ex) helped him out of the hole, praises them instead of himself, and stays thankful.

"Tell me your rap name again?"
"They call me The Fresh Prince."
"Alright...good. That's what we're going to call the show."

Just priceless!!

[-vp]

Im still watching Fresh Prince in 2019😂

[DNB-Bangers]

This isn’t the story of how he became the fresh prince of bel-air, this is the story of how a man made history in entertainment and became one of the biggest legends we all know today!

[SincereShady]

Now imagine if Will Smith didn't take that 10 minutes..

[iverkjellkken]

Moral of the story: always say yes to drunk business deals

[JokaHTululu]

Now THAT was the story all about how your life got flipped turned upside down 🤔

[thomasrobinson]

this is literally a story all about how his life got flipped turned upside down

[TheRippleFamilyFamily]

Will Smith looks just as young as he did in the 1990s he never ages.

[jsunwalker]

Is anyone also upset about the fact that the video didn't start with "this is a story all about how..."?

[Nikitinale]

Imagine if he hadn't taken that 10 min...
Imagine if he hadn't listened to his gf...
Imagine if he hadn't gone to that party where he met DJ Jazzy Jeff...

Life is just full of moments and opportunities, you never realize what could happen just from saying "yes" to the right opportunity.

[maks]

Now imagine if Will Smith didn't listen to his girlfriend...

[aplusrecommends]

Another moral is don't procrastinate. Do what you can now.

[JV-fouo]

Will Smith is one of those people who don't get consumed in their fame and wealth and are genuinely humble and kind. We need more people like Will Smith on this planet.

[CornbreadMillionaireLifestyle]

Love this story! Amazing how he was broke, followed his girlfriend's simple advice, and it "opened the door" to amazing success. Many years later, The Fresh Prince of Bel Air reruns are watched by multitudes. GREATNESS truly starts with small steps.

Now this is how you do story time on YouTube

[uknasa]

WHEN PRESENTED WITH A OPPORTUNITY ALWAYS SAY YES AND LEARN TO DO IT AFTER.

[gamercatsz]

Will Smith is an innovator. While other celeberties from the past, simply try to disapear from the world. Will can see the potential of youtube and social media. The world is changing rapidly, Will is evolving with it. Good show old chap, good show!

[trevorlane]

I listened to my gf taking an internship after I said no way in hell, and received success in ways I couldn't ever have imagined. So yeah, Will's right. And I married her.

[bossitlive]

I loved this, especially the part where Quincy Jones said “Three weeks from now’ll be good or you can take 10 minutes right now and you can change your life forever”. Those simple words of encouragement and real realness changed Will Smith’s life. Sometimes we just have to say yes!
