Have you ever been poor?

In fact, the plot is nothing unusual. A lower class of working people finally succeeded through their own efforts.
It is nothing more than his bottom line is lower than ours.
Why is this happening? It's not because he has a son that he becomes "Tekken Man".
How low a person's bottom line is depends entirely on how poor he is.

Have you ever been poor?

When I was the poorest, all the money added up to less than 100 yuan. Of course, I am not going to starve to death. I live in a school dormitory, and I can reach out to my parents if necessary. It is nothing more than a deduction in personal life.
There was a humiliation at the time. Having dinner with the BF at that time, he left the table and left. I couldn't pay for the meal, so I swallowed and begged him to come back.
This matter has not been mentioned for a long time. Seeing the movie today, I remembered it again and couldn't help crying.
Since then, I no longer make the mistake of not relying on others for my own life. Otherwise, you will become a person with no bottom line.

Of course, sometimes the humiliation is for a better life in the future. I'm afraid that some humiliation will only lower my bottom line.

How poor you were, how low your bottom line will be.

    I still feel very moved when I saw them in the asylum. In fact, it takes luck to struggle.

    A very inspirational and touching film recommended to me by a previous English teacher. The section where father and son sleep in the toilet is still very impressive. The snuggle and growth in adversity is very moving.

The Pursuit of Happyness quotes

  • Christopher: [while walking past a bus and to sell a bone density scanner] Hey dad, you wanna hear something funny? There was a man who was drowning, and a boat came, and the man on the boat said "Do you need help?" and the man said "God will save me". Then another boat came and he tried to help him, but he said "God will save me", then he drowned and went to Heaven. Then the man told God, "God, why didn't you save me?" and God said "I sent you two boats, you dummy!"
