The Pursuit of Happyness is quite an inspiring film for entrepreneurs and if you have not watch it, I personally recommend it.
The storyline is simple and the ending predictable. But if nothing else, the film gives us entrepreneurs a jolt and reminds us that “it is possible” and “do not give up yet”.
Whenever I stand infront of people and introduce my service, I think of Will Smith selling the bone scanner.
I wish I will one day meet some bosses that give me that break. Yeah, every entrepreneur probably wished that too.
But think about it, what enhances the chances of you meeting a boss (an angel), sitting stressed at home or going out there meeting people?
The fact is you can’t change luck, but you can do whatever in your ability to influence luck. That’s I believe is the key.
Is there is real Chris Gardner? Apparently yes!
Hey Ken.
Looks like we both liked the movie! I wrote about it too in my blog: http://www.louielansang.com/blog/2007/01/21/the-pursuit-of-happyness/
Sometimes when I need an emotional boost, I just watch the trailer. Works for me :-) I got a link to that trailer in my blog entry.
Hope all is well with you.
