Will Smith quotes
:

1) “Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.”

Spend money wisely, invest them on important things and save money for the future. You no longer need to splurge on things just to make your neighbours jealous.

2) “The first step is you have to say that you can.”

Yes, have confidence and faith in yourself. You can do it and you will.

3) “Life isn’t how many breaths you take, but it’s the moments that take your breath away.”

Such a wise saying. True, indeed. We should learn to cherish each and every moment of our life. Preserve beautiful moments in our memories and stop worrying too much.

4) “Never lie, steal, cheat, or drink. But if you must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away from bad company. If you must cheat, cheat death. And if you must drink, drink in the moments that take your breath away.”

Need I say anything more? Wonderfully described how one should have people around them who will not only forgive them but help them walk the right path.

5) “Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings & emotions.”

There is no need for someone else’s’ approval. Do not try to impress someone who has hardly any contribution in your life, what so ever. Stop toiling so hard for those who have always taken your emotions and feelings for granted.

6) “There’s no reason to have a plan B because it distracts from plan A.”

So go ahead and focus on your goal. Put your best foot forward and complete what you have started. Don’t let hurdles of life pull you back, overcome because you can. So accurate it is, how can we ever concentrate on our current input, rather than coming up with a new plan or strategies.

7) “Let your smile change the world don’t let the world change your smile.”

Sweet and thoughtful. If this is his mantra to success, then we should surely never stop smiling. Don’t let adverse and distasteful circumstances wipe your smile. Just smile and spread your magic.

8) “Look at your 5 closest friends. Those 5 friends are who you are. If you don’t like who you are then you know what you have to do.”

This will not just inspire but crack you up at the same time. The type of company we mix with defines us to a lot extent.

9) “I’ve always considered myself to be just average talent and what I have is a ridiculous insane obsessiveness for practice and preparation.”

Although we tend we believe otherwise, for he is nothing but greatness, Smiths’ humble nature reminds us no matter what we are and where we are, one should always remain grounded. There is always room for learning and you can always brush up your skills.

10) “I don’t necessarily believe in organized religion.”

Because the religion of love and peace is all we need.

11) “If you’re absent during my struggle don’t expect to be present during my success.” 

Yes, please.

12. “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.”

13. “I believe you need to be educated on what you want to do in life, but I don’t believe you necessarily need college to get there.”

There are many successful people, who didn’t do well in school.

14.  “If you’re not making someone else’s life better, then you’re wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other lives better.”

15. “You can’t be scared to die for the truth. The truth is the only thing that is ever going to be constant.”

16. “Money & success don’t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.”

Money won’t change you, they will bring out the real you.

17.  “10 ways to love: listen, speak, give, pray, answer, share, enjoy, trust, forgive, promise.” 

18. “Being realistic is the quickest path to mediocrity.” 

Don’t be realistic.

19. “The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.” 

School never teaches important life lessons.

20. “Whatever your dream is, every extra penny you have needs to be going to that.”

21. “Life is lived on the edge.” 

Don’t live too cautiously.

22. “I don’t know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.”

Aim to be the greatest.

23. “If you’re not willing to work hard, let someone else do it. I’d rather be with someone who does a horrible job, but gives 110% than with someone who does a good job and gives 60%.”

Always give your best!

24. “The first step before anyone else in the world believes it is you have to believe it.”

Have belief.

25. “I know who I am, I know what I believe, and that’s all I need to know.”

Always know yourself.

The right people will come to you automatically.

27. “I wake up every morning believing today is going to be better than yesterday.”

Hope is always good. Never lose hoping for the best.

28. “Fear is not real. The only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future. It is a product of our imagination, causing us to fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist. Do not misunderstand me danger is very real, but fear is a choice.”

29. “If you don’t fight for what you want, don’t cry for what you lost.” 

Keep fighting!

30. “I never viewed myself as particularly talented. Where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy’s sleeping, I’m working.”
