BEST INSPIRATION MOVIE: PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
The movie is based on real life story of ChristopherPaul Gardner who had made a large investment on the bone scanning machines with the dream of making a lot of money. His one of the room was filled with these expensive machines. Unfortunately he was unable to sell these machines to the hospital personnel. The job made him more poor until he was empty with his son after his wife left him.
He was unable to pay for the rent and was thrown out of the house. He began to sleep in the road, bus platforms and train platforms. Despite all of these problematic situations in his life, he had faith in himself that one day he could rise high and he always encouraged his little son never to be down in his life. For one year he had rags in life.
Despite his poverty he was certain that he should look after his son so even went to stand up in the line in front of the local church to get the benefits for his child.
His life was changed when he knew about the stock broking. He made an aim to be stock broker. One day he saw Dean Witter Reynold’s notice board of hiring the trainee for the stock breaking.

With reason of going to same place where the Dean was going he got into the same car. In the car he tries to prolong his personal stories to get the attention of the Dean. But Dean seem to be uninterested because he was busy trying to solve the Rubik’s Cube. Gardner told him that he could solve the cube, but Dean told him it was not possible. So Gardner took a challenge to solve it and consequently he really solve the puzzled Rubik’s Cube. This left the Dean with amazement. Then next day he had to appear for the interview.
