He was a worker, working harder than others to get where he wanted to go. This idea was latched onto by Smith as he developed first his career as a rapper and then movie star. The lesson from their father was that you show up and go to work, every day.
The book tells the story of a twelve by twenty cement wall that Smith and his younger brother were directed to build from scratch, when the boys were eleven and eight years old. Smith’s father saw the world in terms of commanders and missions and he and his siblings were pushed by their father to succeed through hard work.
Smith grew up in Philadelphia, the son of a successful business owner, one who also beat his wife, for the last time when Will was thirteen years old.
