The Pursuit Of Happyness

Chris Gardner is an excellent black sales agent with deep money problems. As he cannot pay the house’s rent because he has no job, he, together with his five years old son, is being evicted from his San Francisco flat and so he has nowhere to live and he starts by sleeping on the subway toilettes. Then, as pure luck, he is hired as a broker by a famous consulting financial firm, a job that at the beginning proves quite difficult and to cap it all he must live in a homeless shelter. Later on and after having passed many hurdles he can fulfil is dream of a better life for both him and his son.




Chris Gardner has big dreams for him and his family but it doesn't seem to come together for him. Chris has an opportunity to be a stock broker but first he has to go through a grueling internship which means no pay. Chris decides to do it but when his wife leaves and he is evicted, he has to take care of his son on his own. So they find themselves sometimes living on the street and struggling to get by. But Chris is determined to make it. Written by rcs0411@yahoo.com

In 1981, Chris Gardner was a struggling salesman in little needed medical bone density scanners while his wife toiled in double shifts to support the family including their young son, Christopher. In the face of this difficult life, Chris has the desperate inspiration to try for a stockbroker internship where one in twenty has a chance of a lucrative full time career. Even when his wife leaves him because of this choice, Chris clings to this dream with his son even when the odds become more daunting by the day. Together, father and son struggle through homelessness, jail time, tax seizure and the overall punishing despair in a quest that would make Gardner a respected millionaire.
