In April 2007, Newsweek called him &#8220;the most powerful actor in Hollywood&#8221;. He\u00a0has been nominated for five Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and has won four Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">IMO, all of his great achievements, makes Will Smith a living legend. That&#8217;s why he is one of my role models, because he inspires me to be the greatest I can be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img class=\"alignnone wp-image-41377 size-full\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/21004847\/will-smith.jpg\" alt=\"Motivational Quotes from Will Smith \" width=\"236\" height=\"236\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are <strong>18 motivational quotes from Will Smith<\/strong> that I register in my mind, which always motivate me to keep going in life:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\u201cBeing realistic is the most common path to mediocrity.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cYou can cry, ain\u2019t no shame in it. \u201c<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. \u201c<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe first step is you have to say that you can. \u201c<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is that I\u2019m not afraid to DIE on a treadmill. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, but if we get on a treadmill together, there are two things:\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019re getting off first<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">OR<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>I\u2019m gonna DIE<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s really that simple\u201d<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"6\">\n<li>You\u2019re not the only one struggling. You\u2019re not the only person having trouble, now or ever. Things will get better, and in the meantime, you\u2019re in good company.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people \u2013 the ones who really belong in your life \u2013 will come to you. And stay.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThere are so many people who have lived and died before you. You will never have a new problem; you\u2019re not going to ever have a new problem. Somebody wrote the answer down in a book somewhere.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe 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.<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Don\u2019t ever let someone tell you that you can\u2019t do something. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. When people can\u2019t do something themselves, they are going to tell you that you can\u2019t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;If you\u2019re not making someone else\u2019s life better, than you are wasting your time. Your life will become better by making other people\u2019s lives better.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cMoney and success don\u2019t change people; they merely amplify what is already there.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cWe spend money that we do not have, on things we do not need, to impress people who do not care.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cStop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind, feelings and emotions.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Never underestimate the pain of a person, because in all honesty, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;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.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cThe first step is you have to say that you can.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cLove is the ultimate theme, but it\u2019s not just for women.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>By now,<\/strong> I believe your heart will resonate with at least one of his motivational quotes from Will Smith.
