Will Smith is an American actor, rapper and producer with a current net worth of $350 million.

Will Smith grew up in a middle-class family. At the age of 13, his parents separated, and he had a difficult childhood. Even so, Smith never allowed himself to succumb to the storms of life, and strived to fulfill his dream. He started his rapper career when he was a teenager.

His father is very strict. He taught Smith discipline from a very young age. So, when he was a teenager, he joined his father’s business – installing refrigerators for households. In high school, Will Smith was nicknamed the prince because of his charm and ability to solve all sorts of problems.

He is a very smart boy and excels in Mathematics. And Smith is confident that he could have been an MIT student if he hadn’t chosen the art direction.

Will Smith decided to become a rapper. His parents were not happy with that decision of their son. Everyone hoped he would go to college like everyone else, they thought it was the only way for him to succeed in life. But they also gave him a year to fulfill his dream of becoming a rapper.

So Smith and friends started working on music together and quickly became famous thanks to their obvious rapping ability. Their first album went platinum, and they even won a Grammy.

As a result, Will Smith became a millionaire and lived comfortably during this time, but this did not last long. Their third album failed. Smith and his associates began to run into financial trouble. He owes the IRS $2.8 million in taxes. That was the time when Will Smith failed the most in his career. He lost everything.

He was in crisis and owed millions of dollars in taxes. His girlfriend was always by his side and lifted up Smith’s spirits. She made him audition for the role. At first, he was not interested. But after a 10-minute impromptu casting session, everyone was mesmerized by his acting ability. Soon after, they gave him a contract.

And that’s how Smith became the “New Prince of Bel-Air” perfectly. He didn’t even think he could become an actor, and that changed his life. This Sitcom was a huge hit, and Will Smith became a star. But not every road is strewn with roses, there are failures that seem to have knocked him down.

One of those failures was the movie After Earth – the film failed miserably and was the most painful failure for Will Smith. At the same time, Will Smith receives the bad news that his father has cancer. What could be sadder? He stopped working for a year and a half, and his life was changed forever.

And he has some advice for everyone: Failure is always ahead.

“I feel uncomfortable when people complain about failure. Failure is a big part of success, you have to think more simply about failure and embrace it. Failure is the mother of success, you will learn a lot from it.” People fail a lot. They fail more than they succeed. You have to learn to accept it and learn from it and move on. You must learn to walk away from failures. That’s the reason to practice. Practice is a controlled failure.
