But, you will be able to relate to the scene, whereby you can clearly identify that his perspective comes from the many failures he had experienced, not just from his failures at the sport but from his failures in life in general. One of the highlight of the films is the scene at the basketball court where Will Smith would be seen discouraging his son, to make him spend less time on basketball, as he felt that he would not excel in sports. Having watched the film again recently, I thought of sharing what I learnt from the story of Chris Gardener played by Will Smith. (7) He slept in bathrooms, on the street and endured.īut, he never quit not matter what, was not distracted, and faced all situations and circumstances with the only aim of succeeding. (5) He lived in shelters and on the streets. (2) He failed miserably at selling those medical machines. Let’s see how many obstacles he went through: People who haven’t watched the movie, or haven’t heard about Chris Gardner may wonder why I’m so obsessed. I even cried…but don’t let anyone else know that. It is plain truth that it was based on a true life story, and depicts how Chris fought his way through his financial struggle, his struggles with his family, homelessness, and ended up setting-up his own brokerage firm.Įvery time I watch the film or watch Chris Gardner’s speech on youtube, it has been an inspiring and touching experience for me. The Pursuit of Happyness is a 2006 American biographical film directed by Gabriele Muccino about the on and off-homeless salesman-turned-stockbroker Chris Gardner.
