Admin Hero1 Posted November 14, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think Will views things a little too simply than what they are. Situations and circumstances are a lot more complex in my opinion. As for his running example. What he's really talking about is discipline. Now I don't need to run and listen to my body telling me to stop because its being overworked to harness discipline. There are other ways. On his working with Gene Hackman on Enemy of the State. I disagree that he should have slept 4 hours instead of 8. If he had slept 8 hours he would have been in a better position mentally and physically to act with Hackman. If he needed to rise to the challenge, he may have had to do more preperation before the movie, spent more hours acting, but giving your body only 4 and a half hours rest when it requires 8 is not the answer :smart: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerkot Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 (edited) Ive only heard like ten minutes and it already feels kinda strange. He sounds like... he sounds like a black Joel Hodgson. Wake up. Edited November 14, 2006 by Lerkot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Julie Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 yeah im the same, i agree with bits and disagree with bits. It was slightly strange i have to admit. i thought the gate part was interesting, maybe im weird for finding it interesting lol, but in my dictionary it says a gate is "a moveable barrier, usually on hinges, used as a door in a wall or fence", a gateway is "an opening containg a gate". So Will's teacher dude is wrong! He needs to take his own advice and look it up if he doesnt know the meaning haha. i agree that public school education is rubbish, they teach u how to pass exams not things u need to know. But kids need school as part of learning social skills, which is important in life. Nothing worse than being a brainy geek that cant talk to people. i used to agree with the key to life thing, but i dont anymore. Hard work will help you, but luck is also involved, some things just arnt meant to happen. You could be running as hard as u can and then trip on a rock, ok ive been listening to Will's analogys too long now. we have to do a podcast, we could all talk forever. i have a feeling most of Will's interviews for pursuit are gonna be like this, i prefer the funny Will, this is too deep.

I'm with you 100% Julie. While trying your best is admirable, circumstances in life often conspire to trip people up. It takes hard work and good fortune to really be successful in life. Yeah, it's definitely the philosophical Will that makes the interview weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Hero1 Posted November 14, 2006 Admin Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I agree with you guys. The philosophy of Will's is great, and you should never give up, but "running hard" does not simply make you successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Willie Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I think the running and reading speech was based on the mentallity you need to uphold before you can try to be successful in any field. Because you need to be focused to try and reach a goal, and you need to have the belief that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Obviously there will be some kind of luck instated when anything happens in life, but generally, nothing is handed to you in life. So you need to have a good attitude and a good mentallity to begin with. It's easier to give up than it is to keep going, so if you remain focused on that and you eventually get that piece of luck or a break, you can know deep down that you've earned it. That was my take on it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was the fact that it was 1 hour 20 mins of it other than just 5 like it normally is. i have to admit it had me thinking for a good while after listening to it, which is more than i get from most of his interviews. i suppose it has us talking about it anyway.

I don't think we've ever had an hour and twenty minutes of philosophy from Will. The reading and running, patterns and a few other things, we've heard already. This was more of an extended session.
