  • This man is so strong. I really admire him.

  • after watching this i know i can do anything i put my mind to

  • awesome...

    salute to u Mr. Gardner

  • This man is an excellent, excellent role model for everyone. Young and old. He has accomplished a lot.

  • Definition of a man. Tears of Joy by Rick Ross mirrors him,listen to it ...

  • 31 people are neo nazis....

  • how can u fuckn dislike this?

  • Cinder Block method :) Good stuff Gardner! Hopefully you dropped it right on that scumbag's balls.

  • @bulanik07 Looks like he has been back three times. Must be jealousy. Hope the SOB ends his days in a public toilet.

  • Nuff LOVE and RESPECT Chris keep smiling ''hus'' darlin!

  • He was raped! OMFG

  • "$250,000 in my pocket, and I still can't get a f*#!ng cab!"

  • "Ladies of the evening" RESPECT

  • 80,000 dollars a month? what does it take to be a stock broker?

  • God bless you Mr. Gardner! I appreciate you being a positive role model to fathers all across the world including myself.

  • Can i just be you Chris Gardner??

  • WOW

  • This Great Inspirational Story misguides us from The Greater Reality. The Military-Industrial-Complex (MIC) sucks taxpayers money that could be used (many times over) to feed and give a good living to the whole US population. Wall Street (WS) glorification should be used with a warning label as WS Market Makers play a great part in The War Racket (better than Al Capone). The US is being turned into a Non-Producing Nation (taking out the MIC+WS). This Video shows how The Media Works. God Bless!

  • 30 people can't find the Lighting of thier life.

  • @wileycoyoteism Well, this movie is based on a true story, so it is reality. That's what really happened.

  • @wileycoyoteism From what I remember he wasn't sleeping in his suit. He would change out of it. Regardless it's not 'sleeping in a bathroom' that makes one stink. It's not washing up. Not all homeless people stink. A lot do keep themselves clean using public bathrooms.

  • Makes me love prostitutes :)

  • Where does someone get this kind of strength?

  • @lamarjlp914

    When you have a child you find the strength because it stops being all about you.

  • @MsRosene Tell that to all the alcoholic fathers out there who beat and starve their kids to feed their own addiction.

  • @MsRosene not all the time....but what you can say is when you value your life and the life others then you find strength.

  • what happen to her wie?

  • stupid thing! i thought iw was the movie !!!

  • You're the man

  • I salute you chris garner!

  • AND he was raped?!? I have no fucking excuses in my life.

  • OMG u r my heroe man what a rough life u had...jesus i cant complain about mine wow u r an amazing human being all my respect to u wow im amazed

  • LOOK HE IS NOT A PERFECT PERSON BUT HE MAKE HIMSELF PERFECT

    SIR I RESPECT YOU.

  • the ladies of the evening.... lol.

  • I love the part in the movie where he walks in for the interview for the internship and he's wearing a tank top and he's all dirty and sweaty because he'd just ran there from jail for failure to pay parking tickets and he'd also just finished painting his house and he had paint spatters on his face, then the old guy says "what would you say if a man came in for an interview with no shirt on?" and he says "Well I'd say he must've had on some really nice pants." Then they all start laughing :)

  • Only one thing to say: They don't make such men any more.

  • Comment removed

  • when ambition is your god, the office is your temple, the employee handbook your holy book.everyday, you rise early and kneel before the god ambition, facingin the direction to your PC.ambition is a vengeful God. He willsmmite those who fail to worship, but the faithful will only realize when they are old entombed in the corner office they realize that ambition is a false god and always has been.

  • Really i've cried when i watch this mobie

  • @mrabukhatter same here.

  • He's pimpiim egtting money from hoes hahahaha

  • 28 people simply have NO HEART!

  • wow!  This is amazing!

  • Prostitutes were helping him! Regardless how we view them, they are, after all, humans who experience very tough lives. It is very moving.

  • More black need to be like him, but todays stupid pop rap culture affects that

  • @stevntylertoy Oh shut up more white need to be like him

  • @pletsch121293 10000% I agree with you. and guess I should be like him

  • R.I.P earphone user.

  • the ladies of the evening, what a respectfull man

  • This brotha has an awesome story....hes got my respect

  • god does work in mysterious ways man...... much respect to those lady of the evenings as he put it, this man is a hero in my eyes.

  • Respect!!!!! *bow!

  • happiness*

  • @941jack watch the movie and THEN you can comment

  • @daniisux i've seen the movie, twas awesome, still spelt wrong though

  • @941jack well if you've seen the movie, then you'll know that they misspelled happiness in the little boy's daycare and that's why the title of the movie is also misspelled.

  • @daniisux i do know that....still spelt wrong though

  • @941jack also the book is misspelled the pursuit of happYness, it is intentionally misspelled:)

  • He should be President

  • Just like the speech rocky balboa gave: he was getting hit hard by life but its not how hard he can hit, it was how hard he can get hit and keep moving forward

  • I read the book, i saw the movie ... the only similarity is the title. seriously

  • he was raped?

  • reminds me of the homeless to harvard story

  • i take my hat off to the guy, good for him.

  • Totally insparational

  • @RichoRosai And he's richer than you will ever be. How does that make you feel??

  • First time seeing this; truly amazing and so intense!

  • Watch the interview in a cab where he did in 200 and he really goes all out on how he and black man can't get a cab.

  • I saw the movie last night that changed my Soul it was so inspiring . big respect to Chris Gardner ! I wish I could have a mentor like him

  • @bulanik07 haha !!

  • Just watched the movie, great story...

  • will smith...............

  • after watching this movie, it motivated me to college.

    after high school im going to cc to save money then transfering to a 4 year school

    this movie gives a sense that/ if you really want somthing, go get it. if you want to become a docter/go for it/ if you want to become a soldier/do it. Nomatter what people tell you/ go after your dreams. You only have one life;make the best out of it.

  • This man was in the navy i feel that he should have never been on the streets in the first place

  • I personally don't hate prostitutes because not only are they different from how people view them they are doing what they have to to survive I doubt any of them enjoy what they do

  • Forget lil wayne and Lebron James... this man shud be a role model for all young african american males

  • @eliaslaing12 why, the white people too good to take an "african american's" advice?

  • His voice sounds very educational-like. I really want to read the book before watching the movie.

  • That just goes to show when you assume the worst of people as most people might think of those prostitutes; they are actually better peope than you would think they would be

  • This movie is amazing.For me personally it has pushed me to go to college and to push more for what I want.It has pushed me to dream a bigger dream:)

  • @tammylee09 this movie motivated me to pursue higher education and get my business degree

  • I loved the movie but most of all I love how this guy never quit in the greatest face of adversity. Chris your more then a wall street broker, you are an inspiration to Americans that need a severe kick in the ass

  • Chris Gardner is an American hero. Period. He is the bar that should be set for the black community. You can pull yourself out of poverty. You do not need other tax payers to do it. Hard work. That is the message that they should take away from this. Put down the guns, pick up a book, and learn a skill. Stop voting for Dems while your at it. They want you broke and on the dole. If you become successful like Chris, they lose you as a voter. They cannot have that.

  • Will looks abit like Chris when he was younger! THIS MAN IS AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF US... AMAZING FATHER, AMAZING HUMAN BEING... and the film was just amazing...

  • My god, what a strong man. Such an inspiration.

  • I am pursuing my happyness and need you help. I recently created a website that shares free Natural Health Success Stories with everyone, so I can help save lives. Now, I just need your help to populate it, so the healing can begin! PLEASE help me populate GreenHa.com. Just mention to your subscribers and friends how important it is to join GreenHa.com Thank you so much.

  • I like the part when the prostitutes help him out.

  • Jail for parking violations INSANE.

  • Oh dear Lord he was raped. God bless this man he had nothing and made such a success of his life.

  • @jerzeytpke Did god bless his anus? GTFO

  • @DerrenBrown100 Look at your comment. What kind of a sick person are thinking and talking like that?

  • God bless this man! What an inspiration. God blessed this man with a huge brain!

  • See this why I dislike people who look down on prostitutes and strippers acting like their just pieces of meat to be used. They have souls, heart, and compassion. Hurray for the single mom prostitutes/regular prostitutes not because they couldn't be doing something better with their life, but for remaining human through all of the nastiness of the world.

  • The only problem with government funding is that people find it really easy to manipulate it. They abuse welfare and social programs.

  • The problems in this video are far more vast than the personal life of this man. They branch out to the social infrastructure, welfare and lack of government funding and programs to help those in need. There is a huge disparity between rich and poor and I am almost certain there are stories much worse than this that we will never hear of.

  • 80,000 dollar a month?

  • happyness?

  • if i will become become a multi millionaire i would of live in the bathrooms instead of my parents pathetic house

  • Chris Gardner, Tyler Perry and anyone I have missed are truly real men...because they went from rags-to-riches by passing tests that the enemy threw at them, and I applaud both of them.

  • Comment removed

  • It's amazing to see childhood promises you make to yourself stand true.

  • This Man has 101% of my respect

  • and you thought your life was bad ....

  • This man IS the American success story.

  • Wow, The prostitutes helped him out. Man, that says a lot about humanity right there. Theres good folk everywhere.

  • The part where the hookers pay him 5 dollars hit me. Sometimes, you gotta be in a tough position in order to really know how bad it is.

  • Absolutely amazing story, movie brought me tears, I saw no reason to hold back...this was just amazing

  • Truly an amazing story

  • i think that shouldve put more of his childhood in the movie

  • applause applause

    i salute Mr.Gardner

  • 'i expressed myself a different way.'

    'you...hit him with a cinderblock.'

  • Nice, but what you do not know is that this: Chris Gardner is a network marketer. He has great integrity and helps people build solid business networks in what you call a pyramid business model. What you also do not know is that Modern Network Marketing organizations generate billions in sales leveraging the internet and global marketplace. What do you know about investing and network marketing that Robert Kiyosaki, Donald Trump, Warren Buffet, Paul Zane Pilzer and Chris Gardner do not???

  • This guy is proof positive that thug criminals who have the same background growing up have NO EXCUSE for being a thug. Put your mind and heart into becoming someone and you CAN DO IT.

  • I believe the sole reason this man succeeded is his decision to NOT BE IGNORANT. The reason we have risen above all the massive, vicious and poisonous animals in the world is SOLELY that we have intelligence.

  • I bet any amount of money that if somebody from Lagos Nigeria saw this or the movie, would just laugh thinking it was a joke. America doesn't know shit about struggling, everything is too much at our fingertips!

  • @datazndood last time i checked this isnt lagos nigeria. thank God.

  • the ending of the film was great

  • its funny how this video showed me all my bad qualities.....

    i panic when i`m on a down fall

    i blame others for things i couldnt do

    I learned a lot from this video, and from this MAN

    CHRIS GARDINER....UR MY LEGEND.

  • wow guy makes $80,000 a month xD!!

  • Go For Greatness

  • It's your life, and like most of us...you know you are destined for something more. But the big question is "How?" Just over one year ago I started working on a home based business with the help of a former U.S. Olympic & World Cup soccer star. I did not claim to know much of anything at that time. I also knew that waiting around was not going to help. So I jumped right in and today I have over 5000 people in my dowline business. To learn more make this free recorded call ( 866-510-2282 ).

  • @MrSuperfood1 Despicable that you would try to piggyback off this amazing story to hock your pyramid scheme.

  • @CryptoDriver ok, i think his comment's point wasnt this.. the movie is INSPIRED by a true story, but many parts are only FICTION. mostly the ones which represents high human values. unfortunately the real Gardner's story was different from what we see in the movie.. i do appreciate the message which the movie makers want to tell us, but i wont exalt to the skies the real Chris Gardner,especially after reading about his real story which was deeply disappointing. Excellent movie though.

  • @CryptoDriver ok i read another comment from mrsuperfood.. well, yeah, i agree with you about the piggyback thing.

  • This man is a great human being.

  • RESPECT XXX

  • His story is very much similar to my fathers life... i see my father in him

  • god damn, this man is a great one. god bless you man

  • nunjemnd bei laune mit mia zu chaten oder am tele oder auch per cam ^^ bin gelangweilt

  • This is an amazing story... makes me not want to complain about anything and motivates me to continue striving to achieve my goals.

  • no government help he a black man became rich, so for people out their if your black, latino, white, asian, or think your done get up life goes on. with gods help you can do it.

  • That is rude! . And if you're talking about the things that are wrong with the world, then what you've just said myfriend is exactly the problem- Its all about respect. You have to respect people for who they are and what they belive. And as for cultural and religious differences, well I believe that a world with no diversity, were everyone is the same is a boring and dead world stuck in one position. One that i wouldn't like to live in.

  • @floopsie666 why do you have so much hate, I don't know you and yet your threat me rude, but the world is like it is because of us People we are the problem we hate each other we don't show love to one another no more. As for you to say that we have an imaginary idol ask yourself this question why then do you have millions of people around the world knowing and loving this imaginary idol. God loves you and you are special to him.

  • I like this guy, relate to his story alot, had been homeless at one time, I slept at bart stations also, it could be really cold sometimes, taking showers in public restrooms, but was commited to succed also, never stop believing in my self, study all the time, people did not realize I was homeless either, because I felt ashame, I understand the pusuit of happyness, Im very successful man now.

    Mr. Chris Gardner thanks for sharing your story.

  • @rubendedor07 i WAS THE SAME I WAS HOMLESS AS WELL BUT SOME HOW GOT ON MY FEET I WAS SLEEPING IN ALL SORTS OF PLACES I WAS HOMELESS FOR 3 MONTHS I WILL NEVER 4 GET IT

  • @rubendedor07 That's awesome, bro. I love stories like yours and Chris Gardners', as they keep me motivated to continue to pursue my dreams and never give up. Congrats on your success!

  • Comment removed

  • @raptors12349 ..your life is bullshit raptors

  • 80,000 a month...thats one rich dude!!!!

  • did i tell you to believe in it?, but look this is what i've realised myself back in 2006 i had a rough time, sleeping out the whole summer, later i found a job as newspapers carrier, tough and exploiting, later i left for something eelse now im doin well, next year 2011 it might be even bigger. so let me express my feelings.

  • @ecreif, i totally agree with you!!!! we dont live in middle ages people are so stupid!!!

  • good game life.

  • I liked how he called the man who had raped him "that gentleman" and how he said "the ladies of the evening". He never said anything disrespectful about anyone in this interview.

  • GOD can take you from anywhere and take you to higher place as long as you deserve it and believe in your abilities,

  • @soojenite

    dont preach religion on the internet......its the only place left

  • i am definetely NOT sure if "god" has something to do with it.. figured ouit that the socond part of you post is more to believe in.you own abilities, a unbreakanble confindence in what you CAN do.

  • I wished I have a father like Chris Gardner...

    I mean not what he is today but during his

    worst times...

  • nice ! very inspirationaL !

  • i luv will smith, he's my insperation

  • I remember back to the Truman days. Homelessness was not a problem in this country until Reagan became president. Since then, the problem has persisted. Many of them are veterans. Occasionally, somebody can thrive.

  • He's my inspiration!

  • Damn Chris gardner kixx butt he truly is a great inspiration to my and I'm sure many others thank God for you Chris
