Not many artists can proudly say they have had such success in movies, on TV, and in stores. Will Smith can. He is also known as the only actor to star in eight straight number one films at the U.S. box office.
Will’s full name is Williard Carroll Smith Jr. He was born on September 25, 1968, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Right after high school, he declined a scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a pre-engineering summer program. He really wanted to pursue his rap career and wasn’t interested in continuing his studies even though he had very high grades in school. Will avoided reprimands with his speeches as a child thereby, earning the nickname “Prince Charming”, and became passionate about Eddie Murphy and hip-hop.
Will met Jeffery and that was when his path changed. They started mixing their talents together which led them into creating a group called DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. Their first single, called “Girls Ain’t Nothing but Trouble” was released in the year1985. The song became wildly popular a month before Will graduated from High-School. He also started his acting career not long after and has been on it for years. He recently starred in Bad Boys for Life.
Will got married twice. First, he got married to Sheree Zampino in 1992, and the marriage lasted for three years. Will and Sheree have one son known as Willard Smith III also known as Trey. He then married actress Jada Pinkett Smith in 1997. They have a son and a daughter known as Jaden born in 1998, Willow in 2000 respectively.
Will Smith – Inspirational Quotes
- Self – Discipline
99% of people are not willing to do what it takes to make their dreams come true.
The marines have a saying that everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die. The center of bringing any dream into fruition is self-discipline.
Discipline in the fact that you let go of immediate pleasure for a long-term self-respect. Self- discipline is the definition of self-love. Self-discipline is the center of all material success. You cannot win a war against yourself if you can’t win a war against your mind.
If you want sustained happiness, you have to love yourself by disciplining your behavior.
It doesn’t matter whose fault it is when something is broken but it is your responsibility to fix it. Your life, your happiness, your heart is your responsibility and not the responsibility of another. The way to power is in taking responsibility. You can make a person smile, you can make a person laugh, you can make a person feel good but whether or not a person is happy is deeply and totally out of your control.
- Talents and skill, talents you have naturally but skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of working at it.
LESSON LEARNT:
We should never blame anyone for the negative things occurring in our lives because it is not their responsibility and it is not in their power to make us successful, it is in our power and our responsibility to turn things around and have what we want. It is possible.
