the Pursuit of Happyness

Just watched the movie "the Pursuit of Happyness" today, and I think it's very inspiring! It's a movie about how Chris Gardner, a homeless single father, struggled from the bottom of society to the top. What amazes me is, he never quit pursuing his dream as a stock broker, even when he was in the worst situation. Working during the day w/o being paid, and trying to find a place to sleep every night? That's something I couldn't even imagine.

There was a scene, when Chris went out of jail with dirty jacket with paints all over it, and ran directly to an interview. He came in and said, "I couldn't make excuses about why I dress like this... I'm the type of person that if you ask me a question which I don't the answer, I'd say, I don't know. But I know how to find out that answer and I'm gonna find out." He said it as he was so sure about it, that impressed the interviewer. I think that's some amazing interview skill.

While we think we're working our ass off to complete the MBA application, this movie is a good reminder that there're other ppl in worse situations and working even harder than us. At least, I don't have to worry about getting my ends meet or raising a kid. Yet I think, the strong spirit of pursuing dreams and happiness is universal. I just wish I have the same spirit to pursue my MBA and my dream as an entrepreneur.
