The Pursuit of Happiness

Recently I have seen a film called the pursuit of life. It tell a story how a middle-aged father struggles to support his family and pursues his happiness .The father is a diligent and wise seller, but somehow he has never been successful. As a father and a husband, he can not even make enough money to meet the essentials in the daily life. So his wife decides to divorce this useless man, leaving their 5 years old son. At this moment, he was driven away from the rented house on account of having not paid for the rent for 2 months; he even can not provide hot food for his poor boy. What he all has are only 21 dollars and the pure love of his son. At this critical time, he finds a work in the famous stock investigation company as a trainee, who will not be paid during the probation. So he has to take the long queue to get the relief in the church, and sleep in the railway station, on the road even in the public bathroom with his son. Even if the life seems so tough and unfair to this poor man, he never gives in to fate. He spares no effort to get sponsor for the company, never caring about being rejected. Meanwhile he never forgets to teach his son to be an honest and optimistic man. After years of unbelievable struggles, he becomes a successful investor eventually, and lives a happy life with his son.
Personally, I think it is really an aspiring film, I feel life is rather hopeful after I saw this film. In spite of poverty, discrimination, divorce, the father never gives up the pursuit of happiness, instead he tries his best to give a relatively better life to his son. He is both a responsible father and a strong man. Compared difficulties confronted with us with the straits the hero was faced with in the film, those can not be called difficulties at all. In fact, what we called trouble will not be trouble if we calm down and make efforts to deal with it. What prevents us in our way to happiness is not difficulty, actually is yourself.
In this much advanced society compared with the time when our parents were children, hi-Tec has provided us with convenience and various entertainments, however, our feeling of happiness is not increasing ,even falling down to some extent. Why? Does the difficulty become thornier? No, the problem lies on us. Growing up in the honey pot, we have seldom encountered severe setbacks in the protection of our parents. So when we meet some little trouble, we just do not know how to deal with it by ourselves. We feel defeated by life, and we can not even calm down to adjust ourselves to the situation, and then we feel pessimistic about the life. However, if you try to face the problem, do not get away from the problem, and turn to someone for help if necessary, or just share your feelings with your friends, or give vent to the frustration .Anyway never give up the pursuit of happiness.
If you feel lonely ,please remember your parents are always behind you; if you are tired of the boring life, please think of the people who are suffering in the war; if you are defeated and feel frustrated, please believe there exist another opportunity ,try your best next time. Do not be stuck in the past, do not just expect the bright future but never do something to make them come true, treasure what you have, seize every opportunity to improve yourself. Always be positive to life, just persisting in pursuing the happiness. Good luck to everyone!
