In black neighborhoods, everybody appreciated comedy about real life. In the white community, fantasy was funnier. I started looking for the jokes that were equally hilarious across the board, for totally different reasons.

Greatness lives on the edge of destruction
Will Smith
Image
You can create whatever you want. You just have to know what you want and take the opportunities as they come your way. We are who we choose to be.
Will Smith
Image
There's no reason to have a plan B because it distracts from plan A.
Will Smith
Image
Greatness is not this, wonderful, esoteric, elusive, god-like feature that only the special among us will ever taste. You know? It's something that truly exists, in, all of us. It's very simple, this is what I believe, and, I'm willing to die for it. Period. It's that simple.

Why is life at this point in the twentieth century so focused upon the very beginning of life and the very end of life? What about the 80 years we have to live between those two inexorable bookends?

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. Traditional education is based on facts and figures and passing tests - not on a comprehension of the material and its application to your life.
Will Smith
Image
I have fun. I enjoy my life. And I was hardwired for a deep connection between service, God, and happiness. You kind of need all of those things to be in play for one to have the others.
Will Smith
Image
Remember, don't try to build the greatest wall that's ever been built. Focus on laying a single, expertly-placed brick. Then keep doing that, every day.
Will Smith
Image
Everybody need a partner to stand right by their side. Not only down for the good times. But also down through the bad times.
Will Smith
Image
I'm used to people clapping at the end of the movie.
Will Smith
Image
I read a Bruce Lee quote that shifted how I'm trying to live my life right now. He said, Some targets are only meant to be aimed at. Right? And I took that to mean a shift for myself from goal orientation to path orientation.
Will Smith
Image
The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts for people who are trying to excel, who have dreams, who want to do things. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.

Ninety percent of what youre saying isnt coming out of your mouth.

I would have absolutely messed up 'The Matrix'.
Will Smith
Image
I believe that eclecticism is a virtue. It may not be a word, but its definitely a virtue.
Will Smith
Image
Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.
Will Smith
Image
For me, the greater purpose of the story is just to illuminate some pattern of human truth.
Will Smith
Image
The value of a story isn't that it just has a narcotic effect. It's that it awakens something in you that makes you want to think, that makes you talk to other people, that stirs something that makes you examine the story that eventually turns into self-examination.

Haters are the people who will broadcast your failures and whisper your success.
