Chris Gardner Pursuit Of Happiness Quotations

People can't do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it.

Walk 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.

It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what. How did he know that?

If you want something, go get it. Period.

The world is your oyster. It's up to you to find the pearls.

Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something.
