Chris Gardner Quote
Mr. Gardner, why people gotta keep you down when you have your dream? Again, I was having a long overdue conversation with myself. Well, I said, people who can’t do something themselves, they’re jealous, so they wanna tell you that you can’t do it. But you know what? You got a dream, it’s yours and you gotta protect it. So, don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t. If you want something, go get it. Period.
