From Zero to Hero: An Unstoppable Self-Belief
Many
considered Chris Gardner a “nobody”.
A man
trying hopelessly to make ends meet. Forced to sell over-priced bone density
scanners that no-one wanted to buy. Living hand-to-mouth from one day to the
next. Struggling to feed his family and desperate to break free from the life
he felt trapped in.
A young guy
with an unexceptional past and an uncertain future. And yet there was something
about him that was destined to guarantee his success.
With no
qualifications apart from
a high school diploma under his belt, getting a decent job wasn't going to be
easy. Despite that, Chris knew his own strengths. He'd always been good with
numbers. So when the opportunity to do something about it came along, he
snapped it up.
He managed
to get enrolled on an unpaid internship at a brokerage firm. Of the 20 interns,
only one would be offered a job. Meanwhile his wife deserted him, leaving him
to look after his 5-year-old son while attempting to hold down two jobs. He got
evicted from his apartment and ended up sleeping rough. Despite his enthusiasm
and determination, things conspired against him at every turn.
something else on his side. He believed in himself. He believed he deserved
to be working in this high-powered environment. His self-belief motivated him
to achieve what he knew he could achieve. He studied day and night and made
deals wherever he could. He worked his fingers to the bone, all while making
sure his son was safe and well cared for.
Anyone else
might have given up. Thrown in the towel. Chalked it up to experience, a futile
waste of time and energy.
Not Chris.
Nerve-jangling
conditions aside, he kept his hopes up and his spirits high. He struggled on
and pushed himself to the limit. In the end, he got the job. From there, he
went on to create his own multi-million dollar brokerage firm. His story was
subsequently made into a film starring Will Smith called The Pursuit of
Happyness.
And it was
all possible because of one thing: his belief in himself.
So if Chris
could do it, with all the stumbling blocks that kept getting in his way, it’s
almost certain that you can too.
Maybe it's
time you started believing in yourself and making the most of your own true
potential.
