10. Chris Gardner
10. 克里斯-加德纳

This is the man whose life has inspired the Will Smith-starrer ‘The Pursuit of Happyness’. Physically abused by his stepfather as a child and placed in a foster home, Gardner’s woes did not leave him even as he grew up to marry and be a father. As shown in the movie, Gardner struggled with homelessness while raising his kid. It was the strength of the lessons he learnt from his mother that he went from rags to riches by tenaciously building himself to be the CEO of his own stockbrokerage firm, Gardner Rich & Co.
他就是威尔-史密斯主演的电影《幸福来敲门》的原型。加德纳小时候受到继父的虐待,之后被送到领养家庭。而他的苦难并没有随着他长大、结婚、为人父而远离他。正如电影中演的那样,在抚养孩子时,加德纳面临着无家可归的境地。他从母亲那里所学到的赋予他力量,让他白手起家,坚持不懈成为了他自己开办的证券交易公司,加德纳理财公司的CEO。

There is no disadvantage these personalities did not suffer on their journey from birth to where they stand today – but sheer tenacity, confidence and hard work led them to the inspiring figures they are today.
这些名人在从出生到成名的历程上经历了许多磨难,然而靠着坚韧、自信和努力,他们成为了今天这样的励志人物。
