Will Smith Quotes

Sometimes I write posts because I want to say something, but sometimes it’s just because I need to keep something. Today I just want to keep a collection of quotes from Will Smith. We could probably all stand to remind ourselves of these. I’ve found a decent old video link and a transcript but these are my favorites:

“The separation of talent and skill is one of the greatest misunderstood concepts…. Talent you have naturally. Skill is only developed by hours and hours and hours of beating on your craft.”

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

“Being realistic is the most commonly traveled road to mediocrity.”

“There’s a redemptive power that making a choice has, rather than feeling like you’re an effect to all the things that are happening. Make a choice.”

“I’m motivated by fear: fear of fear. I hate being scared to do something…. I started attacking things that I was scared of.”
