We have become people who lack inner strength.
We don't build people like this anymore.

I'll set up the video so you don't have to watch the first one....
Sidney is a dishwasher, who found a help wanted add for black actors in the back of a new paper.
Sidney who could hardly read, never acted a day in his life. He was only a unemployed dishwasher looking for a job.

YouTube - Hollywood Icon: Sidney Poitier (Part 2 of 2)


What's my point?....
The strength displayed, where he started from and where he is today is very Inspirational to me.
