The Pursuit of Happyness

The other day a friend asked me whether I had seen the movie titled as this post.

I have. It was 2 or 3 years ago. I think whenever one loses the motivation to drive his career, or feels a bit lazy, he should remember that show.

Should wear a bracelet with the initials "TPOH".

Then they will get to see what could possibly happen when a man is down and out on his luck, how he is humiliated and loses his wife, how the most perfect beginning to a marriage can end in separation, how dreams become nightmares, but worst of all, is not being able to provide his kid with the kind of life he would like to. And putting his kid through the same trials and tribulations as he himself was going through.

And then how inspite of it all, he had the strength to pull himself together, try to make life good for his kid in as much as possible, and most of all, how sheer determination, hard work, a bit of luck, a good character, and some knack for your job, did pull him right back out.

It is good to remember TPOH.
