3. PLOT SUMMARY :

 This is based on a true story on how to deal with the hardships of life despite
facing few hurdles in life. Here we get to see a common family who struggle each
day to meet their ends meet. The role of the father as played by Chris Gardner
tried to work as a stock broker but it was unpaid. He then struggled to go for
petty jobs but he did not succeed well and had to bear the brunt of limited
income. He even tried to go to sell a bone marrow scanner but he did not get
much positivity as it was priced on the higher side. On the contrary his wife Linda
left him and his son for a lucrative job elsewhere.
 After Linda leaves them he continues to persevere and get a good life for his
loved son. He shows us will and determination to keep trying and working hard
and finally get a decent enough life and income for both of them.
 4. LEARNINGS FROM THE MOVIE:-

 We must not allow other people to discourage us to go for another shot at an

opportunity just because we failed at the first instance.
 We must not let people make us a victim of their failures and unhappiness.
 We must not let them kill our dreams by projecting their negativity on us.
