So many men have holes in their souls the shape of their fathers. You can pass that on to your kid, or you can do something about it, and I'm seeing a lot of men doing something about it.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
I have one of those old-fashioned mothers who told me every single day, 'Son, you can do or be anything that you want to do or be.' And I believed it. I bought into it 100%.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
I made a decision as a five-year-old boy that my kids will know who their father is.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
I am very, very conscious of time. I always wear two watches. People ask me, 'Why do you do that?' Because I was late once,and it cost me a huge opportunity.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
I've been talking to a lot of young people, especially here in America. I let them know that the people who they're competing with for opportunities live all over the place. They're probably not in your city, state, or country; they are hungry, and they are grinding! Some of the things that a lot of us take for granted, these people don't.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
If you're lucky enough to have a permanent position, don't feel entitled. Companies value longtime employees' institutional memory, but to be irreplaceable, you must stay invested. Take the initiative and assume new responsibilities.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
The hardest thing that I had to do every day as a working single parent was child care, to have to leave my child with people that I did not know and hope everything was OK, that was the most painful part of every day.

As long as you have a plan for how you'll live, don't let jealous people turn their insecurities into yours.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
Be bold enough to find the one thing that you are passionate about. It might not be what you were trained to do. But be bold enough to do the one thing. Nobody needs to dig it but you.

We can all look to our friends, family, and those we admire for inspiration.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
I chose to embrace the spirit of my mother, who, though she had too many of her own dreams denied, deferred, and destroyed, she still instilled in me, her child, that I could have dreams and that I did have a responsibility and the power.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
My biggest hero was my mother. She told me every day that I could do or be anything. I knew it, I believed it, and I embraced it.

When I was a kid, we played a jump rope game called double Dutch - where you had to jump over two ropes swinging in opposite directions. Picking just the right moment to jump in was a practiced art form.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
What can we be in life? Few figures in history have answered this question with as much clarity and moral authority as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
You want be young and have fun, that's great. But while you're having fun, someone you don't see is studying and preparing. You might end up working for that person. No one wants to hear that! But I try to tell young people: You want to be the one signing the front of the check, not the back.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
I've said that if you're not doing something that you're passionate about, you're compromising yourself every single day.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
I cut grass, I did yard work, I did roofing, I cleaned basements to take care of my family.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
When you tell your kids they can be anything, you've got to be careful. I told my kids that, and I ended up with a music producer and an interior designer. But they're doing it.
Quote by -Chris Gardner
When you're doing something you're truly passionate about, there is no plan B.
