It’s not spelling mistake, I meant that, people who like Will Smith gotta be familiar with that right? It’s from a 2006 movie with his son, which is really great one, it will give you a great emotion when you watched it.

Anyways, this movie told me one strong message, what was that? It was “no matter how tough is your obstacle, no matter how stiff is the wall in front of you, no matter what kinda trouble on your way, you’ll get thru those, no matter what!” . One guy named Chris (Will Smith), had too many problems in his life, he is an advanced X-ray box seller, he sells those from one hospital/doctor to another one, whatever the equipment is, he got difficulties to sell it, there bunch of those on his house.

His wife is a labor worker who can’t earn a good deal of salary, they have one son, called Christopher, 5 years old cute little boy, Christopher is studying at a small Chinese school which its teacher can’t spell happiness, they wrote “happyness” on their wall. So know you guys know why this movie called “pursuit of happyness”.

Back to the Chris, his wife was tired because they couldn’t earn money to pay everything, they got 3 months late of their apartment’s rent, so she left him. Chris asked his wife to let Christopher stay with him, and they agreed. Afterwards, Chris found how hard to live in this earth without money, somebody stole his X-ray Box, he got tickets and finally he couldn’t pay it, thus he lost his car, he moved to a cheap motel with his son, and others thing like that. One day, when everything looks fine, he sold most of his x-ray box, he found really shocking news, he didn’t pay the tax, so the government took money from his account, and now he only got 21 bucks on his account to live with his son, can you believe that?

So the motel owner kicked them out, and Chris had no idea where would they stay that night, no other option, they slept at Men’s restroom on a Train Station ( this is one of the saddest scene I’ve ever seen, I did almost cry, almost but I am strong enough :P ). The end of this movie, with all his efforts, he could go to some company and worked there so he can keep his son live in a decent way, it was based on true story movie!

This movie woke me up, while some people were struggling to keep their family live…I complained for what I’ve got, I didn’t realize how precious it is! While some people put all of his life to make his works done, I kept my assignments overdue, while some people knew how good it is to care to your friends and family, I ignored them. So yeah, now I will try to change all those things, it just not fair for them.

That’s all I got, so now it’s time of quote of the day and it’s…..”It was right then that I started thinking about Thomas Jefferson on the Declaration of Independence and the part about our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And I remember thinking how did he know to put the pursuit part in there? That maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue and maybe we can actually never have it. No matter what.”
