Happyness.... wats it all about?

Happiness....
How do we define it?
When do we achieve it?
Do we get it easily?
Well sometimes I feel its a choice that we make whether to be happy or not. Like
....
Don’t you feel happy when u see small children playing?
Don’t you feel happy when u see puppies running around?
Don’t you feel happy when you see an old couple walking hand in hand?
Don’t you feel happy when find a Rs 10 note in your old jeans?
Don't you feel happy when you remember those good times spent with your friends in the past...even though you are not in talking terms now?

But also there are sometimes when the real feeling of happiness comes to you when you get something for which you had to struggled a lot and then you got it and when that happens you don’t need to smile to show your happiness but your eyes talks for you......similar is the case here with Chris.

The Pursuit of Happyness... saw this movie sometime back..the
movie looks at the crests and troughs in Chris' life on his way to becoming a stock broker, and eventually as everyone knows, a multi-millionaire. Will Smith played the role of Chris Gardner while Smith's son, Jaden Smith played Gardner's 7 or 8-year-old son...
The movie focuses on the struggle of a salesman and how he turns up to be a stock broker and how is overcomes through all the tough times...
There are couple of scenes which I liked the most from this movie.
In one scene when Chris is playing basketball with his son, he says he never made it as a basketball player and his son wouldn't make it too. And just immediately after, he tells the kid, "Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me." Or at another time he says, "You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can't do something themselves, they wanna tell you that you can't do it. You want something? Go get it. Gardner". And that's what Chris does - he gets out there, works himself out and makes it - really makes it, giving hope to a lot of others like him.

In the second.
Martin Frohm: What would you say if man walked in here with no shirt, and I hired him? What would you say?
Christopher Gardner: He must have had on some really nice pants
The movie really shows that if u want something so badly and if you are willing to strive for it u will get it in the end..

There is a time when he is so bankrupt that he and his son spend a night at the railway station inside the toilet
[One of the most touching moment in the movie].

At the end when he finishes his internship and the boss is happy with his performance he calls him inside his office and offers a job at the firm as an employee....That is moment the tears in his eyes talks for his happiness....




Think about it people….lemme know wat you feel happiness is all about..
Bye…
