2. Life Lessons
One of the key lessons I learnt from the movie The Pursuit of Happiness is that You can't let people discourage you from your following your dreams just because they have be unsuccessful themselves. ©

4. 2. The road to happiness is full of setbacks
2. The road to happiness is full of setbacks. In the pursuit of happiness, one of the things that stuck out for me was the various setbacks the character will smith played in the movie went through before he finally made it. He lost his car, his wife left him, he became homeless, he was broke, his business didn't really work out, he had to look after his son himself, I Mean the setbacks were endless. ©

5. If you are experiencing major setbacks in your life right now in your pursuit for happiness and the fulfilment of your dreams, then you are right on course, you are on the right path. © ©

6. 3. Despite all the setbacks, he never gave up on himself
3. Despite all the setbacks, he never gave up on himself. He was willing to keep going, he was willing to face another rejection from another doctor who might not buy his bone density machine, he was willing to take the risk to become an intern at the Stock Brokerage company even though the position wasn't paid, he was still willing to attend the interview for the stock broker intern position even though he had spent the previous night in jail, he never quit, he always had hope. There is always hope if you never quit. ©

7. 4. I also learnt from the pursuit of happiness that there is never any excuse not to try. If you remember the scene when he was painting his apartment and then got arrested and had to spend the night in jail for unpaid parking tickets, he was supposed to have an interview for the intern role the next morning.He could have decided that there wasn't any point going to the interview, he had spent the night in jail, he hadn't had a bath, he wasn't appropriately dressed, he still had on the clothes he had on while painting which had paint stains all over it, he had very valid excuses not to show up for that interview. ©

9. But he put all his excuses aside and went anyway, despite all the odds that were stacked against him and was rewarded with a position. We all have valid excuses not to try and reach for the things we want in life, it might seem like the odds are stacked too much against us, but we have to learn to ignore the excuses and try anyway. If you never try you'll never succeed.
