Will's Words


Will Smith is one of my most-admired actors. I love the way he brings life to the characters.. the way he delivers his lines.. the way he speaks. He's brilliant in movies like Bad Boys, MIB, Ali, Enemy of the State, I Am Legend and Pursuit of Happyness. I haven't seen a single episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air but people say he's great in that show. He's very talented, he's got an impressive resume and he has this amazing intellect that I find intimidating, yet admirable.

This is what I believe and I am willing to die for it. Period. 
There's no easy way around it. No matter how talented you are, your talent is going to fail you if you're not skilled.. if you don't study.. if you don't work really hard and dedicate yourself to being better every single day. 
You don't try to build a wall. You don't set out to build a wall. You don't say I'm gonna build the biggest, baddest, greatest wall that's ever been built. You say "I'm gonna lay this brick as perfectly a brick can be laid." and you do that every single day and soon you'll have a wall. 
If you're not making someone else's life better, then you're just wasting your time. 
The first step before anybody else in the world believes it, is that you have to believe it. There's no reason to have a plan B because it distracts you from plan A. 
I'm gonna do it. It's done. It's already done. The second I decide it's done, it's already done. 
Our thoughts.. our feelings.. our dreams.. our ideas.. are physical. 
Make a choice. Just decide. What its gonna be. Who you're gonna be. How you're gonna do it. Just decide.. and then from that point, the universe is gonna get out your way. 
Don't be scared to die for the truth. 
Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. You want something, go get it. Period. - Christopher Gardner (The Pursuit of Happyness)






You may not be a Will Smith fan, but I think you'll agree with me when I say that his words are gold.

  1. Hi Leah. I like Will Smith. My husband actually got a collection of some his hit movies. I like what he said "don't be afraid to die for the truth". This is so true. Its just that, we, the Filipinos sometimes would do lies just to save somebody or themselves for their own benefits. Thanks for sharing this. Cheers!

    1. Hello, ms Ness. :)

      Will shared some excellent ideas. We really shouldn't be afraid to die for the truth. Yun lang talaga ang constant at hindi pwedeng mabali. Life is simple and it is only US that makes it complex.

      Though, I see your point po.. Meron talagang mga sitwasyon na para maprotektahan ang isang minamahal sa buhay, kelangang dumaan sa maling daan.

  2. You should watch Fresh Prince you really should. It's great, and there is a lot of depth to Will Smith. He is a brilliant actor, and what more, a damn fine human being.

    1. Aw shucks. Me, too.. Lalo na nung natanggap na talaga sya sa work. When he said.. "This part of my life.. this little part is called happiness." Whoa..

  7. I've only seen tadbits of The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, but from what I've seen his acting is really, really very good.
    And of course, in other movies too, but The Prince has a higher sentimental value to most people.

  11. I like Will Smith. One of the great actors with substance and I think he can be considered one of the royal when it comes to acting. I also like his son Jaden who inspired everyone with his role in Karate Kid.

    1. You're right. Hollywood royalty, they are. His wife, Jada, is also a good actor. Their son, Jaden, proved that he's got the talent when he starred in the movie with his dad, The Pursuit of Happyness, and of course, Karate Kid, opposite Jackie Chan. :D

  12. "I know who I am. I know what I believe. That's all that I need to know. From there, you do what you need to do."

    love it!

  14. I think at one time he was the highest paid Hollywood actor too. Try watching Hancock! It's a super hero movie but it's kinda different. It's more like a drama movie rather than an action movie. It's one of my favorites.

    1. Ah yes.. I've watched Hancock. Maganda din yun. Not your average superhero movie, but it still delivered. :)

  22. There's no reason to have a plan B because it distracts you from plan A....LIKE! oo nga naman, it's like you yourself dont trust your plan that much if there's a plan B.and ikokonsider mo din na it's pretty fine to make mistakes, because kasi may sasalo naman. hmm. cool

    will smith is really a good actor...he's one of those na kapag may pinortray na role, it becomes real and not just an act...

    1. Makes sense diba? There's really no need for a planB, if you really believe that plan A would work. XD
