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.

More quotes by Will Smith
I want the world to be better because I was here.
Will Smith
The execs don't care what color you are. They care about how much money you make. Hollywood is not really black or white. It's green.
Will Smith
Life is...the moments that take your breath away.
Will Smith
I'm a student of world religion, so to me, it's hugely important to have knowledge and to understand what people are doing.
Will Smith
My biggest emotional defeat and the greatest emotional pain I've had as an actor was when Wild Wild West opened up to $52 million. The movie wasn't good. And it hurt so bad to be the No. 1 movie - to open at $52 million - and to know the movie wasn't good.
Will Smith
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.
Will Smith
What people are perceiving will dictate what their life and ultimately what your interaction is.
Will Smith
Adolf Hitler was a vile, heinous, vicious killer responsible for one of the greatest acts of evil committed on this planet.
Will Smith

Will Smith
Being realistic is the quickest path to mediocrity
Will Smith
We didn't grow up with the sense that where we were was where we were gonna be. We grew up with the sense that where we were almost didn't matter, because we will be becoming something greater.
Will Smith
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.
Will Smith
I know how to learn anything I want to learn. I absolutely know that I could learn how to fly the space shuttle because someone else knows how to fly it, and they put it in a book. Give me the book, and I do not need somebody to stand up in front of the class.
Will Smith
We spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.
Will Smith
I can't run away when I'm scared. I always have to attack. That's how I deal with seemingly difficult things.
Will Smith
Give me a problem, I'll give you a solution. I just love living. That's a feeling you can't fake. I'm glad every single day. I think that even the camera can feel that I'm a happy man.
Will Smith
Goofy was the word that was used most often by my sisters because I've been this tall ever since I was 12 years old.
Will Smith
It feels like God visits everywhere else, but lives in Africa.
Will Smith
When you find things that are tried and true for millennia, you can bet that it's going to happen tomorrow.
Will Smith
When I was young, and I'd get A's, I'd get this good feeling of all the things that I could be. And then I'd never became any of them.
Will Smith
