The Pursuit of Happyness

***Don't ever let somebody tell you 'you can't do something'. Not even me. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you you can't do it. If you want something, go get it! Period. -Chris Gardner (Will Smith)

This movie have helped me to see all the blessings that I have and not put it to waste-to give quality time to my family and one most important thing this movie reminded me of is not to spend money lavishly.

The protagonist Chris Gardner (Will Smith), have struggled all his life to give his son Christopher (Jaden Smith) a better life. Everyday, they are forced to look for a shelter because Chris has no stable job. His only opportunity to earn money is to sell the bone scanners which he soon finds just a luxury to the doctors. Until one day, he met this executive guy at a business firm going on a break and asks him what it pays to be a stockbroker. When he finds the answer, he then makes this as his determination to find a way for that kind of job. With patience, hard work, prayer, determination, combined with luck and a good sense of connection to people, he lands to his dream job as a stockbroker. =)
