Thank you very much dear friends for accompanying and reading my work. Again we have arrived on Thursday, today on my blog there will be a place for viral news on the web, I hope that the presentation is to your liking and enjoy as much as I do when making the material.


At birth we never know what we will find or if we will have the luck to do it within a wealthy family or a country economically, in my case it was not one of the two circumstances.


I am one of those who think that destiny has something prepared for us, but to achieve it, we have to work hard, overcome many adversities, be tenacious and above all. Be persistent!


There are those who think that everything happens for some reason, it is the work of destiny, it wanted certain situations to happen, however there are others who think that fate does not exist and everything that we propose happens.


The viral news of the week is related to the opportunities that occur once in a lifetime. Fate things or not! You have to know how to take advantage of the situation. The destiny, dedication and strength of faith, made this man a millionaire. "Chris Gardner", a man with a very difficult life story, whose experience took place on the big screen of "Hollywood".

"Christopher Paul Gardner" Born in the United States "Wisconsin" on 2/9/54 is the father of "Christopher Jarrett, Medina Gardner, Jacintha Darlene Gardner" Son of "Thomas Turner" and "Betty Jean Gardner" Entrepreneur, speaker, millionaire, author of the books "In search of happiness", "You start where you are"


"Chris Gardner" had a difficult childhood and very contaminated, his stepfather "Freddie Triplett" a violent man and puncher, did not spend a day without hitting his mother, even denounced "Betty Jean Gardner" for receiving social action money while working , which unchained that the mother of "Chris" ended up in jail and the one in a "juvenile center" at eight years of age.

This life experience motivated "Chris Gardner" to fight against domestic violence, child abuse and alcoholism. His source of inspiration was always his mother, who taught him the most important thing in his life. "Believing in yourself and having confidence in yourself" was your passport to success.

The life of this man was never easy, in the year 1980 and with twenty-seven years of age, he worked for the minimum remuneration "in a training program in a company of stockbrokers" a salary that did not allow to assume the cost of a rent , for this reason and after his separation from his wife, he lived for more than a year in a street situation, together with his young son.


At nightfall "Chris" and his child sought shelter to sleep in a "public bath"

railway stations, squares or some shelters that gave asylum to the needy . The money that he received for his work was enough to pay for the place where they took care of their child while he attended his work, they fed as he could, sometimes they attended public places where they received free meals. More than 365 days the streets of "San Francisco" witnessed what had to happen "Chris Gardner" and his son

Finally and thanks to the words of his mother ("Believing in himself and having confidence in himself") always motivated him to keep going despite the negative circumstances of life, the company where he works ("Dean Witter Reynolds") extended his full-time work contract, which granted higher salary benefits.


Her increased income enabled her to rent her own apartment and live with her child with dignity. Meanwhile, his ability as a salesman to grow within the organization, his interest in business, the constant training and his ability to negotiate, in just seven years, as he spent the year 1987 opened his own company "Gardner Rich"

"Christopher Paul Gardner" He could never imagine that he would go from living in the streets to being a very successful and multimillionaire businessman and much less that his life story would be transmitted in the big screen of "Hollywood" with the title of his book "In search of happiness", interpreted by "Will Smith" Who shocked the audience with his performance obtaining a "nomination" to the "Oscar" awards.
