Will Smith's quotes, sayings

If I cultivate a relationship with God, I can become far more powerful than I am alone.

The role of faith in your career

I believe in an energy constantly creating all things, and if I cultivate a relationship with it, I can become far more powerful than I am alone. If I tap into the movement, the flow, and the creative intelligence that makes the sun, the stars, and the trees, I know I can be infinitely more creative and powerful than I am through my ego alone.

Get comfortable being uncomfortable if you want to achieve.

Adversity shapes greatness

The shaping of your character, your willpower, and your energy happens almost exclusively through adversity.

Suffering is a gift. The universe teaches through difficulty. God teaches through suffering and hard times.

Your identity can become your prison

A person is more than a personality. We're far bigger than we allow ourselves to be - far more than the race, creed, color, city, or country we confine ourselves to. The idea of who we are can become the prison that keeps us from excelling.

Hours matter

Time is cumulative. Even if you're more talented than me, if I put in more hours than you, it'll be very hard for you to beat me.

One extra hour compounds

If I do something for 10 hours a day and you only do it for 9, after a year, it’s going to be really hard for you to beat me.

Time Beats Talent

The win goes to the person who commits the most hours. Time applied is cumulative.

Build from mastery

If you learn to do one thing exceptionally well, you can expand your knowledge from the mastery of that one thing.

Master one thing first

Think of it like an arrow. The tip is the one thing you do exceptionally well. Master that one thing first, and once it breaks through, everything else can follow behind it.
