If you want to do something, don’t let anyone say that you can’t do it
September 30, 2007For this Sunday's Youth Fellowship at our church, we watched the movie "Pursuit for Happyness". The story was all about a man named Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith) who just wants to be happy. He was a salesman. He was selling a some kind of an apparatus for bones which, the doctors said, was unnecessary and too much expensive. Because of this, it was so hard for him to earn money. This situation of Chris made his wife so unhappy. Well, simply because it was only her wife who was earning for their family. To make the 2 hr. story short, trials came to Chris' life..his wife left him, the owner of their apartment made him and his 5 yr. old son leave, he got some of the apparatus robbed, he was thrown into jail, etc. But, the good thing with Chris was that he never gave up. For his son, he always finds a way for them to find a place to stay over for the night and to eat right. Well,with his perseverance, he became a stockbroker and is now earning millions.
(Sorry kung bitin yung kwento ha..panoorin niyo na lang..hehehe..)
The thing that struck me the most in that movie was what he said to his son - that if he wants to do something, don't let ANYONE tell him that he can't do it, even Chris Gardner, his father himself.
Always remember that you are not a failure.
