Happiness is created, not waiting

Life often makes us feel hard, and makes us witness the distortion and deformation of life under various pressures countless times. —— "The Unbearable Lightness of Life" And what I admire most in the movie is that Dad never gave up his dream, no matter how difficult it is, and finally achieved happiness. In this way, I think of a philosophical paragraph in the film: a pious drowning man hopes that God can save him. A ship passed by, and he refused to be saved, saying that God will come to save me. The second ship passed by, and he still refused to be rescued for the same reason. Then the man who fell into the water drowned. In heaven, he was not convinced and asked God, Almighty Lord, why don’t you come to save me? God replied, in order to save you, I sent two boats. Happiness is won, not by waiting, and you must have the ability to seize opportunities, otherwise you can only watch the opportunities slip away.

    In the front, I wondered, is life really so difficult; in the back, I wondered, is success so easy?

The Pursuit of Happyness quotes

  • Christopher Gardner: [during the interview for the internship position] I've been sitting out here for the last half-hour trying to come up with a story that would explain my being here dressed like this. And I wanted to come up with a story that would demonstrate qualities that I'm sure you all admire here like earnestness, diligence, team-playing. And I couldn't think of anything. So the truth is, I was arrested for failure to pay parking tickets.

    Jay Twistle: Parking tickets?

    [employers laugh]

    Christopher Gardner: I ran all the way here from the police station.

    Martin Frohm: What were you doing before you were arrested?

    Christopher Gardner: I was, uh, painting my apartment.

  • Christopher Gardner: [voice over, chasing after the hippie girl carrying his bone density scanner] This part of my life is called running.
