The movie The Pursuit of Happyness start many tears as it shows the sad reality of a man with serious financial problems, abandoned by his wife and having to create alone the 5 year old son. Chris Gardner is a seller of x-ray machines at the time were very expensive. He used to sell these machines in famous medical offices. Sales gets tough and he can not pay your bills and ends up being dumped. Alone with the son he goes to sleep in shelters, train stations, toilets anywhere to take refuge at night and face long lines to get a bowl of soup. Despite all the difficulties he's a very optimistic man and tries to find a way to improve their lives observing successful people around you and wishing this for you without envy them. Get a voluntary internship in a large company in the hope that the last stage of the period is hired.
When finally finished the stage he was called in the Administration area and the directors asked because he was scruffy and he said he was painting the house and had to come in a hurry. Another interesting point of the film is that despite all poverty he never let the people around you knew was not only complaining and even lent money for your future boss even when was the last in his pocket, because it considered this attitude as a investment.
As a reward for all his efforts he was hired by the company paid todadas their debts and bought a house. And eventually set up his own finaceira. This film is an example of overcoming and shows that it is often necessary that life put in one end so we can change strategy, because maybe if his wife had not abandoned it would still be that same seller failed before because the beginning of the film he takes the economies of the couple and invest in more machines, because he wanted that thing went well and often things are not the way we want. You need to change the strategy. Change is a matter of necessity in such cases and not option.
