the pursuit of happiness

Mummy, where is happiness?

Baby tiger tried to grab it, he turned around again and again, and he failed... It's on your tail.

Mummy, why can't I grab happiness?

Well, stride大步跨 过 along, valiau勇 士, spirited生机勃 勃的 and cheerful, and happiness will follow!

Every day, Chris had to work hard from morning till night, but still could hardly make a living. Chris saw a bunch of suits, mostly male, pouring out of the Dean Witter Reynolds brokerage firm in downtown San Francisco. “Why not me? ” Chris wondered. He did have an adorable boy, Christopher, but his wife Linda was becoming a scarecrow of overwork anxiety. Finally, his wife left Chris because of life pressure, leaving him and her five-year-old son, Christopher. And naturally, Chris became a single father.

With his great efforts, Chris won a six-month internship 实习期 at Dean Witter, but there was no pay at all. So on one hand, Chris had to work hard to make a living; on the other hand, he had to fight for his intern work, since only one of the twenty interns would succeed finally. Besides, he had to take good care of his son after day care. However, Chris made it with his amazing willpower. 意志力

Chris had no money to pay for the rent, so they were driven away from the motel. They became homeless. They slept in asylum救济院，收容所, subway station or anywhere as a temporary shelter. The destitution of life was absolutely depressing, but for his son s future, for his own belief, Chris never gave up and he still strongly believed that happiness would come one day if he worked hard enough today.

Chris was unfortunate, for he got a wife who was not caring at all (though she had her own difficulties) and was in bad luck with his business. But he also was very fortunate, for he got a lovely son and, tough life experiences always make a great person.

Interview

Chris Gardner. Chris Gardner. How are you? Good morning. Chris Gardner. Chris Gardner. Good to see you again. Chris Gardner. Pleasure. I've been sitting there 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 or diligence. Team-playing, something. And I couldn't think of anything. So the truth is... ...I was arrested for failure to pay parking tickets. Parking tickets? And I ran all the way here from the Polk Station, the police station.

What were you doing before y

ou were arrested? I was painting my apartment. Is it dry now? I hope so. Jay says you're pretty determined. He's been waiting outside the front of the building... ...with some 40-pound gizmo for over a month.

- He said you're smart. - Well, I like to think so. -- And you want to learn this business? - Yes, sir, I wanna learn. -Have you already started learning on your own? Absolutely. - Jay? - Yes, sir. How many times have you seen Chris? I don't know. One too many, apparently. - Was he ever dressed like this? - No. No. Jacket and tie.

First in your class in school? - High school? - Yes, sir. - How many in the class? - Twelve. It was a small town. - I'll say. - But I was also first in my radar class... ...in the Navy, and that was a class of 20.

Can I say something? I'm the type of person... ...if you ask me a question, and I don't know the answer... ...l'm gonna tell you that I don't know. But I bet you what. I know how to find the answer, and I will find the answer. Is that fair enough?

Chris. What would you say if a guy walked in for an interview... ...without a shirt on... ...and I hired him? What would you say? He must've had on some really nice pants.
