I just saw the new Will Smith movie, "The Pursuit of Happyness". It's the true story of Chris Gardner, who worked his way up from homeless father to millionaire stock broker.
Wow, what a trip it was. The movie was wonderful, and Will Smith did an outstanding job with his role of Gardner. Furthermore, Smith's real life son plays his son in the movie. He was great, too. The whole movie was great. Even my popcorn had an added buttery goodness!
Why am I raving so much here at LandingTheDeal about a movie? Because inspiration and motivation are very, very, VERY important for those of us in sales and business. For that reason, these kinds of movies are a great boost.
Do yourself a favor and see this movie. It's a true story that will give you a new perspective on what work ethic really is, and what raw determination can do for one's career.
Hi there,
For me this is all about a father's love. Even when this father forces his son to abandon his beloved Captain America doll so that they can catch a bus to stand in line for a bed at Glide Memorial Church, we see the love of this father for his son.
Chris Gardner vowed to have a relationship with his son, come hell or high water. And in the film of his life story,The Pursuit of Happyness, both come to him and his only son Christopher in abundance.
Keep up the blog, it's great!
