On the bright side, I've finished all English and Mathematics homework and I'm well on my way to completing revision for both Chemistry and Physics.
So ... take that you overly-popular "I want to waste my life writing nice stuff about others on their Walls" Facebook-ing losers!
Anyway, in light of my usual DVD routine, I felt that The Pursuit of Happyness was an amazing movie. Probably the best DVD amongst the 3 that I borrowed. Well, it's a story about hope, overcoming the odds whatever they may be and fatherhood at its heart: doing whatever possible to ensure a brighter future for your family. And the fact that all this is based on a very real man makes its all the more amazing.
I have the deepest and greatest respect for this man called Chris Gardner, whom the story is based on. He is a man that, even after setback after setback, refuses to relent in his never-ending quest for a better life not for himself but for his son. To put it humorously, there is a common saying that when you fall down, pick yourself up. For Chris Gardner, life choke-slams him into the concrete floor and bashes him in twenty times, and yet somehow he climbs out of the carnage and "spears" life from the back.
Perhaps I can't convince you of how tough it was for Chris Gardner with my rather inappropriate and overly-WWE-referenced metaphor but I'm sure the movie will.
