Chris Gardner Quote
Now I know a lot of us would rather skip over whatever happened back in the day, because it’s painful or obsolete (as some would say), because there’s nothing to do to change it, other than to let it go or get over it. But if we do that, we risk losing our knowledge of what really makes us happy: the pure essence of joy that we knew as children. And if we don’t take the time to reclaim the dreams that we may have left back there in the thorny and golden past, we will be poorer for it.
