The story is about a man named Chris Gardner, who

despite being poor, having economic hardships, and
family problems such as the separation from his wife
named Linda, continues to fight to give a good life to his
only family, his young son.

Plot Chris Gardner is a family man struggling to survive.

Despite her attempts to keep the family afloat, Linda, the
mother of his five-year-old son Christopher, can't handle
the financial pressure and decides to leave.

Chris, now a single father, continues to search for a better

paying job using every business ploy he knows. He gets
an internship at a prestigious stockbroker and, despite not
 receiving any salary, accepts with the hope of finishing
his studies with a job and a promising future.

When things couldn't get any worse, Chris loses his

savings because of his tax debt and is kicked out of the
apartment he rents. From one day to the next, both are
completely abandoned, starving and cold, sleeping on the
street, in public bathrooms, etc. But the strength of a
father is capable of overcoming any obstacle and Chris
will do anything to give his son a good life.

But finally, his efforts were rewarded because the

company hires him as a stockbroker, and Chris leaves the
company thanking everyone crying and saying that this
moment in his life could be called Happiness.

I would recommend the movie The Pursuit of

Happyness. In my opinion, it is a film that leaves us with
a great life lesson; because it shows us how the love
that a father has for his son is the strength to survive,
and to show that there are no obstacles that cannot be
overcome if we have a well-established objective,
regardless of the fact that many do not believe in us that
we can achieve what we propose; I especially like the
Would recommend this phrase that Chris says to his son: “Never let anyone tell
movie? Why? you that you can't do something, not even me; If you
have a dream, you have to protect it. People who can't
do something will tell you that you can't either. If you
want something, go for it, period”, because many times
we find ourselves in that situation in which they tell us
that we cannot get what they want and that discourages
us; but this movie motivates us to chase dreams and
fight for what we want, overcoming every obstacle that
stands in the way, because that is the key to success.
