Sincerity is spirit

This is a film full of positive energy and inspiration. Dorothy's lovely son in the movie makes me feel like I've seen this movie before.

When I was young, Tom was a few years older than I am now, at the peak of his handsomeness. His own sunny image is quite in line with Jerry's story character. The charming smile of the logo. Jerry in the story, as a practitioner in the sports brokerage industry, has a private office that he has worked hard to obtain, and his career is quite impressive. It's just that he is kinder. In the long-term busy work, his primary goal as an agent is to sign more excellent athletes and get more commissions. However, all work value orientations that look at money can only ignore human feelings. The relationship between him and the athlete is only a commercial contract, there is no so-called personal relationship, they are just what they need and serve the business partnership that is served.

In an accidental incident, Jerry was despised and resented by the son of the athlete who had suffered concussions several times when he went to the hospital to visit the injured athlete whom he signed. There is only how long the injury can take to heal, and how long can it take to play on the sports field. One night, Jerry had insomnia, many thoughts burst into his mind, and he wrote a memorandum of more than 20 pages to state his views on this brokerage job and his views on reform. Of course, his ideas are all in line with human nature, and he wrote about the old problems of the industry, but other employees in the company just keep it in their hearts, and they won't spread the word for the sake of their jobs, but Jerry sent out the memo on impulse. As a result, he was fired a week later, as expected by a colleague who was not too busy watching the fun.

He tried his best to keep the signing players on hand, but one by one he was sacked by those who fired him. Only one black rugby player of average athleticism agreed to continue working with him. His name is Rhodes, and he's probably the kind of guy Seligman describes as a very optimistic person. Of course, he seems to be a little too optimistic. All his faults on the court can be attributed to external causes, circumstances, teammates, etc.

Jerry had no choice but to rely on this one and only client, and he was there to cheer him up in almost every game. Jerry communicated with him a few times when he was bankrupt and down and out, and showed a gesture that seemed to be patient and helpless, and seemed to be close to despair. This moved Rhodes, and the two became friends. Intersection, will eat together, also attended Jerry and Dorothy's wedding.

Speaking of the combination of these two people, it seemed that the relationship between the two people was not long enough at first, but Dorothy liked him, but Jerry couldn't talk about loving her too much, just a little confused, he was born such an optimistic person, right? Good at negotiation and eloquence, he only understands loyalty in work values, but does not understand the family companionship that women need in love. Dorothy broke up and Jerry was sad, maybe when he was sad, he realized he loved her.

Jerry regarded Rod as a friend, and he gave Rod his advice, from the bottom of his heart, telling him to play with not only his brain, but also his heart, just as he used his heart to get along with his wife in his private life. Rhodes was hard-mouthed and angry, but he actually listened to it.

It is precisely because of Jerry's meticulous company and communication that Rhode's ball skills and court performance are getting better and better. In fact, it is the company of sincere affection that works. And Jerry is a naturally optimistic person. If he was not optimistic, he would have been beaten down long ago because he was fired and bankrupt.

Later, due to the outstanding performance of Rhodes, the team broke the record of the game that had not been won in more than 20 years. It also made his worth skyrocket, more than 1 million more than the 10 million Haikou boasted when he first started playing with ordinary skills.

During the interview, Rhodes was talked about by the host about his upbringing environment and family background, all of which were very ordinary, which should be said to be unfortunate. But he has gradually become a professional player from a relatively poor environment, and has become a top player with the careful help of Jerry, which is inseparable from Rhodes' natural optimism. You must know that many children have been screened into pessimistic people during their unfortunate childhood and adolescent growth.

However, pessimistic people are destined to live a much harder life than optimistic people.

The end of the film is a happy ending. Jerry remembered his wife who had just broken up with him after his career finally made a comeback, and Dorothy, who liked him, naturally forgave him and accepted him. This is the happy ending of a wonderful single mother's remarriage.

The hero Jerry is kind. optimistic person. He was not fired, his career fell to the bottom, his love failed, and he was overthrown. He just accepts him and goes all out to do the job at hand and treat his clients with all his heart.

It is because of his optimism and his perseverance that his success has been created.

Optimism, perseverance, and sincerity.
