Will Johnson has worked his way up the list of most popular stars in his country． In fact， it is not surprising that Will is so successful if we know about his early life． Some valuable lessons he learnt as a child have strongly influenced him（1）　　his later life． One of them was from his father（2）　　was strict with him and his brother．
