This guy, Chris Gardner is a very determined man. This movie, The Pursuit of Happiness, is a very good movie. Today, I will present to you about the few things that I learned from the movie, The Pursuit of Happiness, directed by Gabriel Mugino.

Lesson number one, never give up. No matter how hard life beats you, don't you ever give up. Get yourself up and carry on. It's very normal for life to take us down, to put failure visible to us, to block our path of hope. However, the most important thing is how we manage that failure and continue our journey from there. Even though Chris failed so many times that his wife left him, His landlords chased him away, his son and him had to kill to stay in the slums for free every night. He never gave up. He just help it right there. Hope for the best and continue to work hard.

 





 Lesson number 2. Work hard.   If you have a less fortunate and rougher start than the others, work 10 times harder to achieve your dreams. We all know that not All of us have innate wealth from our family, but we do have one thing which is the inborn ability of perseverance to strive for our goals. Perseverance, persistence, these are the two things we have inside ourselves. You know that? Don't you ever complain about the situation that you are in right now. That won't result in any changes. Instead, we should be like Chris. Get a grip, grit your teeth and go through the pain, the sufferings and the agony. Yes, the process will be extremely difficult and it will surely make you suffer until the point of giving up. But remember, what's waiting for you is an inexplicable and miraculous taste of success at the finishing line. Be humble and learn everything you don't know. There are no shortcuts in... Life, do not try to skip steps, do not ever be determined and work hard. Eventually, you will get where you wanted to be. You will.

 

 




Lesson number 3, seize your opportunities. Do not let go of great opportunities presented in front of you. Yes, it's true that most of us are scared of initiating the first step. As an ancient Chinese saying goes, the beginning of something is always difficult. So don't be afraid and take a leap of faith. Once you step out of your comfort zone, great things await. Chris initiated his conversation with Mr. Twisto because he wanted to work as a stockbroker. This conversation is Chris's opportunity and he grabs it firmly. What follows was the short but precious moment he would have with him in the taxi. That is the opportunity and he didn't let go of it.

 






Lesson number 4. Be kind. Be nice to others under any circumstances. I learned that An act of kindness is significant and influential because it not only provides calmness to others but it also helps ourselves too. Chris lent $5 to his boss when he needed it although Chris may not have enough money for dinner later. However, that $5 have in a way contributed to him getting the job. The purpose of doing good deeds is not to receive appreciation or gratitude. or to expect something in return. No, but it is important to know that we do it because we are humans. Humans help each other. Humans care for each other. And if you are lucky enough, you may be rewarded with something unexpected, like a thank you. So don't expect anything. Just be good, be kind and be nice to each other.







Lesson number 5, Believe in yourself. Don't you ever let somebody tell you that you can't do something, not even me. Quoted from one of the advice Chris gave to his son, For me, this is so true. Nobody can decide the course of your life, nobody but you. This quote is a wake up call for most of us. There is no limit for a person to do something. You are what you believe you are. what you believe you can do Chris believed himself that he can be a stockbroker he worked hard for it he became a stockbroker in the end if someone ever doubted your dreams, your ambitions, your goals just tell them you are temporary and I will achieve whatever I aim for in a Will Smith voice doubts are temporary and they will be gone when you achieve it you do it not because you want to impress somebody you do it Because that's what makes you happy. And that, my friends, is pursuit of happiness. Don't ever let somebody tell you, you can't do something. Not even me.
