This is the one classic movie I personally suggest every one should have look!
In San Francisco, in 1981, salesman Chris Gardner invested all the family savings in the Portable Bone Density Scanner. He thinks he made a wise decision, because the scanner can give denser than the X-ray picture, although it is a little expensive.

However, they do not sell as Chris's imagination, and even brought him a lot of trouble. When Chris walked around trying to figure out how to sell the scanner, his wife left him and he lost his house to his bank account and a credit card. Forced him with his son live in the street, Chris is desperate to find a stable job.

 Luckily, Chris had the opportunity to work for a stockbroker internship at Dean Witter. During the six months of training, he will not get a salary, there are 19 other candidates this unique position. At the same time, no money, homeless, Chris and his son have all kinds of difficulties. But he is very smart and hardworking, he will never give up. Eventually, for his efforts, Chris became Dean Witter's agent and started his career. In 1987, Chris founded investment firm Gardner Rich, and became a successful businessman.

In this great movie there are so many classic lines, from which I learned a lot. " You want something, go get it!" In reality, most of us have an equal chance if we really want it, just do it. “People can't do something by themselves they wanna tell you that you cannot do it.” Although we will encounter various difficulties, we must have confidence in ourselves and never give up.

In this movie, I realized another thing, which is Chris's love his son. In fact, he did all the efforts not only to realize his dream, but also to give happiness to his son. Chris said:”You have a dream, you got to protect it”.
