Esmu sapratusi, ka dzīvē vajag ko tādu, pie kā turēties. Vienalga, vai tā būtu ģimene, karjera, reliģija vai gluži vienkārši - ticība sev. Esmu sapratusi, ka nevaru atļauties tādas greznības kā pesimismu un gauduļošanu, gluži vienkārši tas man dzīvē izmaksātu pārāk dārgi. Par savu augstāko dzīves ideālu turu Chris Gardner, viņa grāmatas pamazām kļūst par manu Bībeli un tieši no šī apbrīnojamā cilvēka es mācos ticēt sev. Jo uz kuru citu gan lai es paļaujos, ja ne uz sevi pašu..!


Chris Gardner:

  •  I was homeless, but I wasn't hopeless. I knew a better day was coming.
  • One of the things young people always ask me about is what is the secret to success. The secret is there is no secret. It’s the basics. Blocking and tackling.
  • Find 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.
  • The money thing will come. I know so many people who have so much more money than I. They are miserable. It is so important to be happy.
  • The cavalry ain’t coming. You’ve got to do this yourself.
  • Stay in school. It's what will give you options. You don't want to try to do this thing the way that I did.
  • You have to be committed, and you have to find something that you are passionate about. And forget about money. I’ve learned that money is the least significant aspect of wealth.
  • Baby steps count, as long as you are going forward. You add them all up, and one day you look back and you’ll be surprised at where you might get to.
