The Pursuit of Happyness: Resilience, Grit & Never Giving Up

Don't ever let somebody tell you that you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream — you gotta protect it.

This part of my life, this little part, is called happiness.

You got a dream. You gotta protect it.

People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it.

The future was uncertain, absolutely, and there were many hurdles, twists and turns to come, but as long as I kept moving forward, one foot in front of the other, the voices of doubt and fear were simply that — voices.

I was homeless but I was never hopeless.

Walk that walk and go forward all the time.

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

I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Sometimes even to live is an act of courage.

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.

The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle.

It always seems impossible until it's done.
