Tyler Perry's What It Takes To "Make It"

Ramsey Seikaly

Los Angeles -- We came across this recent personal video by fillm maker and actor Tyler Perry whose string of hits seem unstoppable.  What made this video so endearing was the level of honesty, sincerity and faith based approach to a man whom according to worldly standards has everything: Money, Family, Home, Fame, Respect, Recognition, Validation, Adulation, and so on and so on.  Yet with all that back wind propelling his professional career into the outer reaches of the universe, he still took the time to put together a home video of his personal views on success.  And yes we are posting this because of his fame although if it was an average Joe it still would illicit a posting and publication, albeit later rather than sooner.  

But there is where the charm and inspiration lies.  What he says is average common sense yet it is unbelievable for a millionaire of his caliber to go one on one with everyone and speak from the heart and not from the ego. Please take a gander and listen even if you turn your head away for this is not about Tyler Perry but about you and me and our place in the Sun.
