WILL SMITH

Willard Christopher Smith also known as Will Smith was born in September 25,1968. He is an American actor, producer, and rapper. He has enjoyed success in television, film and music. In April 2007, Newsweek called him the most powerful actor in Hollywood. Smith has been nominated for four Golden Globe Awards, two Academy Awards, and has won multiple Grammy Awards.
In the late 1980s, Smith achieved modest fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince. In 1990, his popularity increased dramatically when he starred in the popular television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The show ran for nearly six years (1990–1996) on NBC and has been syndicated consistently on various networks since then. In the mid-1990s, Smith moved from television to film, and ultimately starred in numerous blockbuster films. He is the only actor to have eight consecutive films gross over $100 million in the domestic box office and the only one to have eight consecutive films in which he starred open at #1 spot in the domestic box office tally.


Smith was born and raised in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and also spent time in Germantown in Northwest Philadelphia. His mother, Caroline (née Bright), was a school administrator who worked for the Philadelphia school board, and his father, Willard Christopher Smith, Sr., was a refrigeration engineer. He was raised Baptist. His parents separated when he was thirteen,and did not actually divorce until around 2000.
It is untrue, though widely reported, that Smith turned down a scholarship to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); he never applied to the school,although he was admitted to a "pre-engineering program" there. According to Smith, "My mother, who worked for the School Board of Philadelphia, had a friend who was the admissions officer at MIT. I had pretty high SAT scores and they needed black kids, so I probably could have gotten in. But I had no intention of going to college."

Smith married actress Jada Pinkett in 1997. Together they have had two children: Jaden Christopher Syre (born 1998), his co-star in The Pursuit of Happyness, and Willow Camille Reign (born 2000), who appeared as his daughter in I Am Legend. Along with his brother, Harry Smith, he owns Treyball Development Inc. a Beverly Hills-based company named after his first son. Smith and his family reside on Star Island in Miami Beach, Florida and in Los Angeles, Stockholm, Sweden and Philadelphia.
Smith was consistently listed in Fortune Magazine's "Richest 40" list of the forty wealthiest Americans under the age of 40. He donated $4,600 to the presidential campaign of Democrat Barack Obama. December 11, 2009, Smith and his wife hosted the Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo, Norway, when Obama had won the prize.

"The Pursuit of Happyness", one of the movie that left me profound effect in my life. The main actor is Will Smith together with his son Jaden give the big impact for other people. The movie is about Chriss Garder (Will Smith) have been trying to change his family life. He had been through a hard time when he got no money to support his family for their daily life. His wife, Linda left him and her son,Christopher ( Jaden Smith) because she could not stand with the situation. With no money and a wife, Chriss Gardner sent a application for a stockbroker internship position at Dean Witter in trial period for 6 months without salary. For the time being, he lost his money, his house and at time he and his son was sleeping in the toilet. Good fortune, Chriss Gardner was accepted to be as a broker at the company. Since that day, his life together with his son was changed to a better life.



From this movie, how are the people have influenced our happiness. Even though, Chriss Gardner got no money but he was fighting with his wife it just because he wanted to take care of his son. At the moment, his son is a important thing that can make him smiled. For those people, they need money in order to gain a happiness but for me, money cannot buy a happiness.The feeling of happiness it is not depends only on materials. People around us are the important thing that we need to complete our lives and indirectly can give us a truly happiness. We did not know the hidden feeling of wealthy people. We thought they are the happier person in this world but instead those people are not feeling happy, though they have a lot of money but money cannot buy the happiness. They need love, person that can make them smile and laugh.
