'HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE'
A true story of happiness
Two days ago, I had the chance to watch ‘The Pursuits of Happyness’ starring by Will Smith. It is my first time watching this movie and I’m TOTALLY in LOVE with this movie. Before this I never get the chance to watch and I’ve never heard about it. It’s so sad I didn’t manage to watch it earlier. But, the most important thing is that my tears fall down while watching it. This movie really touches my heart as now I understand what the true happiness is all about.
This story tells about a father, Chris and his son, Christopher facing many hardships after being left by the mother. Both of them need to handle many difficulties especially the father where he need to protect and take good care of his son. He even did many jobs including becoming a stockbroker and selling the ‘bone density scanner’. Even though he faces many obstacles, he never gave up and always believes that everything will turn up to be normal again. In fact, his son is the only one that has been the motivation and strength towards Chris. For Chris, his son is everything. No matter what happen they will always stay together to face the problems. After facing uncountable hardships, he finally gains his ‘happyness’ where he finally had been accepted as the stockbroker at the Dean Witter.
The part that really touches my heart is when they were chased out from the motel and they don’t know where to go. Even at that moment, the father still can make some jokes with his son and both of them still can manage to smile though they had faced many hardships in one day. That night, Chris was crying while watching his son sleeping because he was so sad that his son need to sleep in the public toilet. He couldn’t even give a place to stay during at night. At this moment, I was thinking that how difficult our life could be, right? We never know all these things and don’t even bother to care because we have everything likes a place to stay, clothes and everything. But for others to get a place for one night is already a tough thing to do.
After watching the movie I was wondering why the ‘happyness’ is spell with the ‘y’ and not with ‘i’? Even before watching it I was so confuse, shouldn’t we spell it as ‘happiness’? Today, I already know the answer. In ‘happyness’ there is no ‘I’ and because you cannot be self-centered in order to achieve what you want to be in the future. ‘Y’ is your happiness it means that you need to work harder and at the same time willing to sacrifice for other happiness. In this context, it shows that Chris work extra hard and sacrifice everything in order to make sure his son can live a better life. For me it is a good movie to watch as it will teach you that no matter how many challenges that you faced, there is always a good things comes after that.

*Do appreciate what you still have. Once they're gone, its already too late to regret.
