Transcript:

Me and Jada was reflecting about love; and I asked her what did she think was one of the biggest revelations that she had about love. She said that you cannot make a person happy. You can make a person smile, you can make a person feel good, you can make a person laugh, but whether or not a person is happy is deeply and totally and utterly out of your control. We came into this false romantic concept that somehow when we got married we would become one; and what we realised is that we were two completely separate people, on two completely separate individual journeys; and that we were choosing to walk our separate journeys together. But her happiness was her responsibility and my happiness was my responsibility. We decided that we were gonna find our individual, internal, private, separate joy. And then we were going to present ourselves to the relationship and to each other already happy. It’s kind of unrealistic and can be destructive to place the responsibility for your happiness on anybody other than yourself.

    Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people - the ones who really belong in your life - will come to your. And stay

    Will Smith quote

    I wanna say something that I want you to remember for the rest of your life, OK? I want you to listen closely. I'm giving you a key to life right now, this is the key to life. The key to life, the key to life is running and reading. Oh right? Now listen very seriously, the key to life is running and reading. Right now, why running? When you're running and you are there and you're running there's a little person that talks to you and that little person says "Oh, I'm tired", "My lounge's about to pop", "I'm so hurt", "I'm so tired", "There's no way I can possibly continue". And you wanna quit. Right? That person, if you learn how to defeat that person when you're running you will learn how to not quit when things get hard in your life. Running. Oh right? That's the first key to life. Reading. The reason the reading is so important. There've been millions and billions and billions and gazillions of people that have lived before all of us. There's no new problem you can have with your parents, with school, with a bully, with anything, there's no problem you can have that someone hasn't already solved and wrote about it in a book. So they keys to life are running and reading
