Pursuit of Happiness from Failure

The United States Declaration of Independence said „the pursuit of happiness‟,

but how to chase happiness? I bet Chris Gardner must know answer.Most of us have

appreciated the movie „the pursuit of happyness‟, which was inspired by a true story

about Chris Gardner. He is an author,American entrepreneur, investor, stockbrokerand

motivational speaker. His book of memoirs „the pursuit of happyness‟ was published

in 2006.

As the film shows, the first half of Chris Gardner‟s life was full of failures and

embarrassment. Career setbacks and unfortunate marriage compelled him to carry all

his possession to struggle with homelessness while raising his toddler child. He had

tried multiple ways to strive for living, he ever wandered along streets with his son,

and got into jail.

When there was only $21.33 left in his bank account, Chris had to pick up his

child from daycare, slept wherever he and his son could find safety—atflophouses,

motel, park, airport and even in a locked bathroom at a BART station.

One of his words goes like this: “In the darkest moments of your life, the one

who can help you is only yourself.” With an awareness of the significance of tenacity

and diligence, Gardner finally got a chance to be trained in a brokerage in spite that he

did not have any college diploma orexperience. When he passed examinations and

earned a license as a stockbroker, he was exhilarated. He just knew that a promising

future was awaiting him.

So, what canwe learn from this film or Chris Gardner‟s life? There is no doubt

that if we never be timid in the presence of them, happiness will knock at your door

by itself. Gardner suffered so many failures in his life, but his calm, persistent and

poised attitude to difficulties finally lead him to success.
