Will Smith Explains Why Failure Is Integral to Success

[NaijaRich99]

It helps when you actually put them dudes on blast who try to throw stones. For instance, in 6th grade these two dudes used to clown me because I would stutter a lot when I had to speak in front of the class. So one day I was annoyed as hell and just shouted out "WILL YALL STOP IT" "I can't help the fact that I speak a certain way" and so forth. The class got wild quiet and then some dudes were laughing, I told them to stop laughing. To that very day, the dudes were cool bean with me along with additional help from one of my teachers as he pulled me to the side and said breathe, think about what you going to say, and then say it. I took his advice ever since.

Sure there are times where it's a bytch to say stuff because of my impediment, but I feel I came a long way from how I used to be. Never let them win regardless of your personal ills. As my English teacher used to say "they may laugh at you now, but you will one day have the last laugh".

Damn dawg, you approached it pretty constructively. My lisp resulted in me getting into a lot of fights for the most part

Looking back though, I think going through it did grow me as a man so I'm grateful for that even considering how painful it was in the moment

Trust it took years of getting bullied and treated like shyt resulting in getting transferred to school after school (also the fact that I moved a lot) to actually realize that....these lames need a piece of mind instead of a five across the temple. I got tired of the nonsense to the point where I just express my true feelings on the subject. I thank God that I did such things because I received some respect for speaking whats on my heart. That's why I tell folks to say what they have to say and never hold back on your feelings good or bad. shyts pointless to hold it in and either get more angry, fight the world, or even inflict self harm.

I love how these types tell you to just "overcome" as if to normalize societal obstacles we deal with nowadays.

Ppl will make it, but, most are food to the system and bound to fail.

You can't tell anyone that because you'd be "hating" because this is "deep."

....Nah I just think youve misinterpreted him thats all..

You throw this term out there but i dont think you understand what he's refering to.. Will Smith isnt talking about becoming rich and famous specifically. He's simply saying that his logic can be applied towards getting better at something until you are relatively successful at it, or until you could eventually become good at a number of things. Enough things to safely say that you have improved as a whole.

Seems like you are taking the word"successful" in the colloquial sense as to mean becoming wealthy. thats not exactly what he was trying to say. If you want to succeed at more things youre going to have to take some L's is all

Hope is the oldest drug to those who fail to understand their surroundings

Once you learn, and accept, the world you're in, you can then master it. Once you master it, you can manipulate it to your benefit

BUT, failure is important to succeeding IF you notice WHY you failed, and willing to change for the better

You also DON'T have to learn from your own failures, you can learn by watching others fail, and figure out where they went wrong. In fact, this is the best, and fastest way, to learn!

I'm tired of these rich people with influence and reach coming out telling us to work harder.



I don't hope for a damn thing.

But, I'm tired of these people acting as if they aren't apart of distracting us from real change.

People who really need static from people don't even poke their heads out if they don't have to. And we don't care because we waiting for more "motivation" from Will Smith and Diddy.

I'm sorry, man. I'm really looking to get more political for now on. I'm sick of this shyt.

Yeah, you lost me breh. I dont even know what you're referring to. In fact I don't even think you watched the video anymore. Dude never said "work harder".. he said some ppl might need to exit their comfort zone and take some L's if they want to learn how to improve at something in particular. Seems you just came in here to vent about some whole other shyt.
