CHRIS GARDNER(The movie) is the story of my life, but it’s not about me. It’s about anybody who ever dreamed big and had someone tell them, ‘No, you can’t do it.’ You can.
CHRIS GARDNERIt can be done, but you have to make it happen.
CHRIS GARDNERI just wanted to make a million dollars. But I couldn’t sing and I couldn’t play ball, so I said to my mother, ‘How am I going to make a million dollars?’ And she said to me, ‘Son, if you believe you can do it, you will.’

CHRIS GARDNERThere is no plan B for passion.
CHRIS GARDNERClaim ownership of your dreams.
CHRIS GARDNERThe secret to success: find something you love to do so much, you can’t wait for the sun to rise to do it all over again.
CHRIS GARDNERWalk that walk and go forward all the time. Don’t just talk that talk, walk it and go forward. Also, the walk didn’t have to be long strides; baby steps counted too. Go forward.
CHRIS GARDNERThen again, what seems like nothing in the eyes of the world, when properly valued and put to use, can be among the greatest riches.
CHRIS GARDNERDo something that you love. Whatever you’re going to do is going to be tough enough. Find something that gets you so excited that the sun can’t come up early enough in the morning because you want to go do your thing.
CHRIS GARDNERStill a dreamer, yet more of a realist than ever before, I knew this was my time to sail. On the horizon I saw the shining future, as before. The difference now was that I felt the wind at my back. I was ready.
CHRIS GARDNERWell, I really don’t want to be a high-powered corporate lawyer. I’m really passionate about painting.

CHRIS GARDNERAlways, always pursue happiness.
CHRIS GARDNERFind something that you love. Something that gets you so excited you can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning. Forget about money. Be happy.
