    I enjoyed this interview. Most of the our nation today just complains how they are cheated and mistreated, how others did them wrong, therefore they cannot achieve anything in life. It's always someone else's fault. Guys like Chris Gardner don't deny the hardships and injustices that exist, but they don't waste time crying about it. Instead, they try to inspire others to be proactive and make wise decisions, and to fight with all they've got to achieve their plans. I'm sick of just how many videos here on RUclips are of people complaining, whining, crying, and criticizing those they blame for their lack of progress in their personal lives.

    So many takeaways but for sure my favorite line is when he talks about your hustle and your grind being the difference between who signs the front of the check and who signs the back of the check. That hit hard! Got it!

    Your plan A have to respect the "C5 Complex":
