Will Smith and his son put on an excellent performance dramatizing the life of Chris Gardner who fought against all odds to become a broker. After failing as a salesman, Chris seeks the position of an apprentice in a brokerage firm, fighting disappointment after disappointment just to make it into the non-salaried position with the hope of being the one selected to become a stock broker. Not only does Chris have his wife walk out on him, he gets evicted from his apartment and has to live on the street with his five-year-old son. Struggling to provide for himself and his son while competing for the brokerage position, Chris has to constantly find the courage and the will to go on each day as life beats him down.
After watching this movie, all of my problems seemed to be very insignificant, leaving me with no excuse for giving up. Everyone should watch this movie and pray that God would endow them with the same courage and perseverance that Chris Gardner exhibited. Without these qualities you will not be able to accomplish anything of value in your life. Knowing that this was a true story made the message all the more powerful: don’t give up no matter what life throws at you; do whatever you have to in order to fulfill your life’s purpose.

I enjoyed reading this, since I am in a time crisis to get all my studies in before Finals. While studying, I tend to get more worrisome as I go down the list of requirements, because I do not remember some of the topics. After reading this, I have decided to have a change in mindset. Confidence is truly a powerful ability one can have. God bless you P@$T0R W0LT3|2$!
