2. PLOT OF THE MOVIE
Will Smith stars in this moving tale inspired by the true story of Chris Gardner, a San Francisco salesman
struggling to build a future for himself and his 5-year-old son Christopher (Jaden Smith).
Not able to sell a device known as “BONE DENSITY SCANNER” as these are high in price although
those are better than other devices.
When his girlfriend Linda (Thandie Newton) walks out, Chris is left to raise Christopher (Jaden Smith)
on his own.
Chris' determination finally pays off when he lands an unpaid internship in a brutally competitive
stockbroker-training program.
Where only one in twenty interns will make the cut. But without a salary, Chris and his son are evicted
from their apartment and are forced to sleep on the streets, in homeless shelters and even behind the
locked doors of a metro station bathroom.
With self-confidence and the love and trust of his son, Chris Gardner rises above his obstacles to become
a Wall Street legend.

8. LEARNING
All my life I had people tell me what I can do and what I cant do. People
continue to belittle my dreams and ask me to stop living a fantasy. “Pursuit of
happiness” taught me to guard my dreams with my heart and mind. It taught me to
avoid feeling discouraged and accomplish them despite the odds.
