This is a biography movie about a man, Chris Gardner who lives with his wife, Linda, and their 5-year-old son, Christopher. Chris is a salesman. He sells bone density scanner to doctors. One day, he can’t sell even one scanner. It causes he can’t pay the house-rent and the other loan. It makes his wife, who is only an employee in a Laundromat, upset. She decides to move to New York City and leaves Chris. At first, she wants to take Christopher with her, too, but Chris doesn’t allow her.

Chris is sad, but he doesn’t want to give up. He wants to find a better job because he still has Christopher. Then, he meets a man who has a luxurious car. He asks the man what the man’s job is, and the man says that he is a stockbroker. That makes Chris wants to be a stockbroker, too.

Chris decides to work at Dean Witter Reynolds Company as a stockbroker, but he is not paid. He has to follow six-month-training and the best trainee can get a job there. During the days he works, he starts to be broke. He has to move from his rent-house. He is homeless. Every day, he must search for a place to sleep with his son. Sometimes, they sleep at public places or a halfway house.

Knowing his condition, it makes him works hard and he becomes the best trainee. Then, Chris gets a job as a stockbroker at that company. Several years later, he can own a company, Gardner Rich and becomes a billionaire.

MORAL VALUE:

• Don't give up to reaching your dream because there is nothing impossible in this life. Like Gardner says in this movie, "Don't let anyone say that you can't do it". Just go reach your dream although there are so many challenges forward. We can see Gardner's struggle to pursue his happiness. He is left by his wife, he loses his car, his house, but he still believes he can be a great father for his son and he trust he can be a stockbroker. As a result, he really gets it. He gets his happiness.
