Atypical American Dream

Seriously, I always seem to have a skeptical attitude towards this kind of inspirational film. Criticize yourself, this inspirational film is like a Chinese question in high school. You have to understand the author's writing purpose and the intention of the question maker, in order to get 100% of the results from these four options. This was my strength in the past, but now it's getting worse.
The first paragraph is quite good, maybe happyness only can be pursueed, can't be hold. It seems quite philosophical. After reading it, there is absolutely no problem with the way he pursues his dreams, but ironically, as a shockbreaker, is this way of pursuing happiness more ironic when the financial crisis is sweeping the world?
I don't want to be aggressive, but I can't help but think that his success in selling stocks is the happy knock on the door. What if he is a Wall Street elite who was laid off under this financial wave? Is he at this time no different from the one who sold the therapeutic apparatus?
The same destination after different paths~~
These are not happiness.
Looking back at the film now, I see the reality of this atypical American dream shattered.

In fact, happiness does not depend on what career you do, how much money you earn, what kind of house you live in, or what kind of car you drive. It's your mentality. Grasp what you have now and enjoy what you have now. This is happiness.

Yesterday, I just heard the pairing and Xie Ling complain that her boyfriend is very world-weary now, saying that he has no sense of happiness. Listening to her describe their current life, even I feel boring, how can I have a sense of happiness. But in fact, life doesn't have to be like this at all. As long as you look at it from another perspective, you will feel that you are so happy.

In fact, the happiest person in the whole article should be his youngest son. Very cute big bang head, and very sensible, never complaining, I like him very much

The Pursuit of Happyness quotes

  • Linda: [repeated line to Christopher Sr] Whatever, I don't care.

  • Christopher Gardner: The next day, after work, we just went to the beach. Far away from anything, everything. Just Christopher and me. Far away from busses and noise and a constant disappointment in my 10-gallon head... in myself. Because when I was young and I'd get an A on a history test or whatever... I'd get this good feeling about all the things I could be. And then I never became any of them.
