I saw an interview with Chris Gardner last night. Role model is right...wow. He is a very bright man, and makes some really interesting points.

Really great perspectives on:
-Personal choices and reponsibility
-How we define success
-racism
-a certain african american reverend
-overpriveledged kids

The interview is 12 minutes long, and it's well worth watching for a friday pick-me-up. It gets really good at 3-4 minutes

Some language NSFW
