Chris

"Chris was honest about the role of luck—meeting Stephen when he did and, of course, finding a merciful judge—but he was also clear about the importance of individual effort. He set specific goals and stuck to them with religious conviction. He visualized and journaled about his Master Plan every day for years, and he lived to cross items off the list. Affixed to his cell wall, the single-spaced sheet of paper was one of the first two things he saw when he woke up and one of the last two things he saw before going to bed."

"Davis reiterated to Chris what he'd said decades earlier to Shelby and Diana: "You're getting nothing from me. That way, you won't be robbed of the pleasure of earning it yourself.""
