To Want To Be Successful is Not Enough


To want. To be ambitious. To want to be successful is not enough. That’s just desire…


In this 90 second clip, the actor Kevin Spacey gets to the core of what it takes. Some amazingly simple, powerful words for us all to live by.

Happy Monday.

    YES! Correct, the man speaks and has lived the secret.

    Wow! Powerful! Thanks for sharing Chase!

    What was this from? Any clue? I’d be interested in seeing the interview in its entirety.

      @Kevin Michael Reid – the clip is from Inside The Actor’s Studio 🙂

      I remember watching this clip almost exactly a year ago when I was going through a rough patch. Although my situation has changed greatly, Kevin Spacey’s words are still as powerful and inspiring today as it was then.

      Thanks for sharing (and reminding me!) Chase.

    Amazing speech. Thank you so much for sharing this.
    Sometimes it is so good to hear few simple words with that kind of personal meaning…
