In life, you never know whom maybe the source of inspiration when you need it most. I stumbled upon this video and found just that. Most do not know that I spend large amounts of time reading about magnetic fields and video games. Quite different I know. I recognized Will Wrights name because I knew he was one of the creators of The Sims franchise. A game that I secretly still play. In watching his presentation, you could see his passion. You see his drive. I was amazed at how this man, who could have retired after his success from The Sims, still had fire in his eyes. In the music industry, it’s often not what you know but whom you know. Dealing with extreme ego’s can weigh you down. Especially if all that matters to you is music and not what must be done to gain power. Mr. Wright put everything back in perspective. He is doing what he loves to fulfill his happiness. I went about making a name for myself differently in the infant stage of my career. My status within the industry is non-existent, therefore I decided to kiss ass until people will notice me. Going against every fiber within my being to get ahead. When really I just need to continue making me happy. It’s funny how the light finally decides to switch on in your head. Will Wright’s desire to share his imagination and creative genius with the world to help gain more understanding for life around us is jaw dropping. His enthusiasm to be a teacher through his games is innovative. He inspires me to affect the world with artist(s) who will inspire a nation. His drive influences me to find great musicians that will uplift a generation. I appreciate this man for he has no clue how his words can affect a kid from Detroit in a completely different way.
